Early Life & Entry to Formula Lego

Nocah was born in Krjstendodjl in 226. When the EotLP overran her home, in the fallout from the Smelly Cabbage Incident, they were allowed to stay in the reborn nation. ---- This is not true I changed this I'm pretty sure she's Norasi now.

Nocah discovered Karting after that, and excelled. She won the Junior Karebyr Series twice, and the intermediate level Nation Series once. Both Michael Osborne and Jenny Spalding noticed her proficiency, and offered her Test Drives for their team. She placed first in both, but took the higher offer from Osborne, on a 2-Year Contract.

Early Leader at Osborne (Seasons 1 - 2)

During her first season, within Osborne Nocah was outpaced only by Josep Vikalkin, finishing 8th overall, with 185 points and a podium to her name, despite a poor showing at the third race, during which wet conditions messed up her flow. Nocah was a natural leader, and took care of her fellow Osborne racers with great care.

Season 2 saw Nocah fare quite a bit worse within the team, even though she scored more points overall than the previous season. She also suffered her first DNF at Race 6, when she collided with a barrier after risking an outside overtake on Thomas Collet. However, he shut the door, and she shot off the track, colliding with the barriers in spectacular fashion.

Decline (Seasons 3 - 7)

At the beginning of Season 3, Nocah was considerably off the pace compared to her teammates, not scoring a single point until Race 3, when she placed P8. She failed to score once more, at Race 6, and found herself in P16 overall in the standings, and P6 within Osborne.

Season 4 saw Nocah slip even further down the ladder, despite a splendid Race 4, when she finished P4. However, her 120 points (45 more than the previous season) still only bagged her P17 overall, and P6 in the team.

Season 5 proved to be Nocah's worst yet, as she scored points on only one occasion, Race 3, after a puncture forced her to pit very late in the race, which suddenly turned to her advantage when a late safety car was brought out. However, apart from that, she finished the entire second half of her season in P21, leaving her to score P19 overall, and drop to P7 within the team.

Season 6 saw slight improvement overall, but a further drop within the team. Scoring points on 3 occasions, including a P7 finish in Race 2 brought her to a final total of 80, landing her in a tied position for P16. However, within the team, she had dropped another position, finishing 8th out of Osborne's 10 drivers.

Season 7 was to be Nocah's final as a driver in Formula Lego. Michael Osborne had privately considered dropping her if her results did not improve, but after an extraordinarily poor first half of the season (P24, P25, and P29), Nocah and her agent didn't even bother coming to her contract extension meeting. she failed to finish in the points (or even near them) for the rest of the season, and Jaymund Beorhtio was hired to fill her seat.

Move to National Engineering

Nocah accepted that she would likely never find a seat with another team, but kept a lookout for job openings within the Formula Lego world. She found one shortly thereafter, with National's Engineering department. She took the offer, and worked with them from then on. She was part of the small group of engineers who managed to make the Underpowered UX9 into a raceable engine (see: Enginegate), and also developed their winning engines before the start of Season 9.
