"TIK".
It was the 5 minute mark and with a blast the FULL COUNTER hit them, sending both rivals home.
...
"PING".
A notification appears on the dashboard display screen of every racer left on the track.
It showed the names of every racer and their current positions.

"What? He's still ahead of us, how? I thought he got squashed by the wall". Said the tiny red and black form of THE COLLOSALS
"PING".

"Oh shit. It was those two who got stuck between 4 walls. How ironic". ASTRID says, looking at the holographic display in front of him.
~{DAMN.
I HONESTLY THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA MAKE IT TILL THE END.
AFTER SUCH A SAD STORY.
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME STAR.
YOU WILL BE FORGOTTEN}~
"Should'nt you be saying the opposite of that?" AMÉ asked.
~{NOW YOU'RE TALKING TO ME.
WHY SHOULD I SAY THE OPPOSITE?
SHE'S LESS THAN US GODS.
WHY SHOULD WE REMEM...
OH.
SHE'S YOUR CREATION.
IGNORE WHAT I SAID EARLIER}~
"WELL, THERE THEY GO. BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME STAR AND DAP01. YOU WILL BE MISSED". The head commentator says.
"THEY REALLY SHOWED US VERY INTERESTING THINGS IN THIS DEATH RACE". His assistant added.
"YES. THIS DEATH RACE, WILL DEFINITELY BE RECORDED AS ONE. OF THE VERY BEST. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THOSE TWO".
"VERY TRUE. WITH STAR BREAKING THE SPEED RECORD OF DEATH RACE AND DAP01 PERFORMING THE LEGENDARY PERFECT BOUNCE BACK. WE SURE HAD SOMETHING INTERESTING FROM THOSE TWO". Added the assistant commentator.
"THAT STAR IS BORN WAS SURPRISING THOUGH. NO ONE HAS. EVER DESTROYED A TRACK IN DEATH RACE. HONESTLY SHE SHOULD BE PROUD OF HERSELF". He continued.
"YOUR VERY RIGHT. BUT I STILL SEE THE MOMENT WHERE SHE KILLED. DAP01 AS THE CRAZIEST. THE FOURTH LAP WAS INTENSE". The head commentator concluded.
"YEA..."
"Can both of you send the map of THE MAZE now. The racers are yet to move?" JUDGE cuts into their commentary from behind.
He ensured his voice didn't enter the commentary, while at the same time switching the broadcast display which was showing the moments the two commentators were talking about with a snap.
"DEAR DEATH RACERS. I'M SURE YOU'VE WAITED LONG ENOUGH". The head commentator says.
"YOUR VERY ENGINES MUST BE GETTING COLD FROM SITTING IN ONE PLACE". His assistant added as a follow-up.
"BUT FRET NOT".
"FOR THE RACE SHALL RESUME".
"PING"
The racers all received a new notification.
This time it was the map of THE MAZE.
The wait was over.
It was time to move.
Their engines began roaring once again.
They were all fired up and ready to move.
"I BELIEVE YOU ALL HAVE RECEIVED THE NEW MAP.
WELL, GOOD LUCK AS YOU MOVE FORWARD.
AS FOR OUR DEAR VIEWERS AND FANS AROUND THE MULTIVERSE.
SIT BACK AND ENJOY AS THESE DEATH RACERS RACE THROUGH THE MAZE OF THEIR DEATHS".
"YOU FORGOT TO MENTION SOMETHING TO THE RACERS". The assistant commentator says.
Every racer but AMÉ began moving in the direction of the end mark.
Driving through the walls surrounding them.
Trying their very best to not end up at dead ends.
"OH YES. SORRY, BUT PLEASE REFRAIN FROM TOUCHING THE WALLS". He quickly adds.
"BOOM".
