Nicolas loved cars more than anything else. He had posters of drift cars on his walls and he dreamed of becoming a professional drift racer.

However, his father, a retired footballer, wanted Nicolas to follow in his footsteps and become a footballer. He didn't understand Nicolas' passion for cars and racing.

In his spare time, Nicolas would work on his car model in the garage, dreaming of the day he could race it.

One day, his father found him in the garage. 'Nicolas, you should be practicing football, not wasting time with these cars.'

Nicolas attended a drift race at the local track. The roaring engines and the smell of burning rubber filled him with excitement.

He imagined himself behind the wheel, controlling the car as it slid around the corners. He knew this was what he wanted to do.

At his father's insistence, Nicolas started attending football practice. But his mind was always on the racetrack.

'You have talent, Nicolas,' his father said. 'You could be a great footballer if you just tried.' But Nicolas knew his heart wasn't in it.

One night, Nicolas made a decision. He couldn't deny his passion for cars any longer. He had to follow his dream, even if it meant disappointing his father.

He confronted his father. 'I don't want to play football. I want to be a drift racer.' His father was silent.

Nicolas entered his first race with his DIY car. He felt free and alive as he controlled the car around the track.

To his surprise, he saw his father in the crowd, clapping and cheering him on. Nicolas realized that his father just wanted him to be happy, no matter what path he chose.
