"Hello again, Your Majesty!", called out George as they were approaching the entrance. The Queen was pleasantly surprised upon hearing his Liverpudlian voice and replied, "Greetings, my friends! What brings you back here?" George said, "Me daughter and I have come to help you in finding one of your lost Corgis. We heard about it through the paper yesterday." Elizabeth said, "Really? Well, that's very kind of you! I am just about to begin the search party myself." Pattie remarked, "Yes! I knew it!" That made George place a hand on her shoulder and say, "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you to this lovely girlfriend of mine! Her name's Patricia Boyd, but you can call her Pattie for short. We met each other during a trip to Ireland last month along with me mates and Paul's brother, Mike McCartney." Laura added, "And she's gonna be my new mummy when they get married!" Pattie couldn't help but flash a big smile. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, young lady!", remarked Elizabeth while giving her a handshake. "Yours, too, ma'am!", replied Pattie. George and Laura smiled as well. Afterwards, the Queen said, "All right. So before we start off, I'd like to show you something special which I'll be getting from my apartment. This will be of great help along the way." George replied, "Okie dokie! Let's go in, girls!" Pattie and Laura agreed. The trio then followed behind her as a Palace staff member opened the door for them.

George and Byron took a water break after the training had been completed. During which, the former said, "If you don't mind me asking, what happened to the racers who got caught in those crashes caused by Rotten Roderick?" Byron replied, "Well, apart from having to stay in the hospital for a while due to sustaining some major injuries, the good news is that all of them managed to make it out alive." George replied, "Oh, that's definitely a positive thing." Byron said, "Yep. And now, I can't wait to see how you'll tackle the dirty jerk!" George exclaimed, "Splendid, pal! Again, you won't be disappointed." Byron chuckled and nodded in agreement. They then spent the remainder of the afternoon setting up more of George's plan.

As expected in the morning that followed, George began his training for the rally. He also started to plan out how he'll teach Rotten Roderick a lesson he won't forget. "Are you sure this is a good idea, buddy?" Byron asked while he installed some additional lights on the back of the race car. "Trust me, mate; you'll be satisfied in seeing how it plays out tomorrow." replied a very confident George. Byron said, "If ye say so, then. I really admire how you didn't let the jerk tear you down, though. That's what I call inner strength!" George said, "Of course! It was my own way of showing him that he just messed with the wrong bloke." "Makes a load of sense to me!" Byron remarked. Shortly afterwards, George tested his car's speed by driving around the entire track for ten rounds. When that was successful, he did the same for the lights to make certain they were in proper working order.

The raceway tour was a blast, during which George and Byron told the girls more about their mutual love for the sport as well as watching some of the past rallies together with the former's family. "And in regards to what I'm gonna do for the main event, I'll be taking charge of the awarding ceremony. The grand prize being, of course, the Liverpool Rally Cup." Byron said as they finished sharing their stories. Laura replied, "Awesome! I was just about to ask that myself." Pattie said, "Yeah. I can also see how you and my husband became such close friends." George said, "Indeed, sweetheart. I should mention that in his letter, he'll be helping me with the training as well." Byron replied, "You bet I will, mate!" Laura added, "That's wonderful to know, daddy!" George smiled and winked in response. They then took a few pre-race photos before extending the tour for one more hour.
