Back at the pits heads were turning as I walked along. Everyone would have either seen it or heard about it by now, and they’d all be waiting delightedly for the outcome.

“Well?” Paul said severely, hands on hips.

“I’m banned for a year with nine months suspended,” I said. “I can race again on the second of August.”

“Shit you utter idiot!” Jo threw at me. Her expression was furious. She was working all the dates out. “You’re going to miss virtually all the Championships and there’s no way you’ll be getting the Silver roof now! Why the hell did you do it?”

I sighed. “I lost my temper because it was such an important race and Tyler just freaked out when he saw me coming through so near the wall and instead of just trusting I could do it, he braked and pulled out. It just made me so mad, that’s all, and then he said he didn’t want me getting hurt and he didn’t seem to think that the fact he’d pulled over mattered! But how can we race if he’s going to get like that? I’m sorry everyone. I’m really sorry. He told me to calm down like I was a hysteric who was making a fuss over nothing and that just finished me off. Sorry,” I said again.

Paul continued to look severely at me. He pointed at a low concrete wall behind us. “Go and sit on the naughty step.”

I went over and sat gloomily sat down. It was beginning to sink in. This was, in effect, the end of my racing year.

“You such a fucking idiot Eve!” Jo launched. “Why can’t you keep your temper?”

“No talking to people on the naughty step,” Paul said sternly to her. “People on the naughty step must be ignored. Go and get the cars loaded.”

She stared at him as though he’d gone completely mental, and then she stomped off.

I put my head down on my arms and tried not to cry. She was right. I was a complete idiot. And I’d allowed my relationship with Tyler to affect my driving career, which I’d sworn I wouldn’t. Paul ignored me and went about his tasks. How was I going to stand the shame of being banned? What would Fay think of me? I wasn’t sure if I was really on the naughty step, or whether he’d done that to get Jo off my back and give me time to think. But I didn’t dare move. I figured he’d eventually come and talk to me, or call me to do something.

Suddenly I heard Tyler’s voice saying something to Paul. I looked up. Tyler was glancing across at me and I heard Paul telling him, “You can’t speak to her, she’s on the naughty step.”

Tyler took it as a joke. “It’s meant to be one minute for every year of their age isn’t it? How long has she been there?”

Paul looked at his watch. “Fifteen minutes, so she’s still got four to go.”

Tyler laughed. “You run a tight ship I see.
