I really, really regret not buying a racer now...

That would actually be a brilliant in-game event for TEST to sponsor.

Me, I'm bringing a Starfarer to the Murray Cup. I can shoulder those race-boys into buildings when they try to lap me.

Wonder what happens when Fat Boy Starfarer gets jammed in first ring lol M50 smash new Test sonsored event ;D

Starfarer's don't go through racing rings. They remove racing rings.

Agreed - it would be the most accessible race series imaginable, and hopefully the amount of customization available would make it highly entertaining.



Paul Stender?

Possibly, I recognize the bus, but I couldn't find an image of his house. But, then again, how many people have jet powered busses?

Especially in Indiana - that's gotta be him.

God damn I love my state.

you should go by his house if you ever happen to be down here a bit. He's got more than a bus in his yard. He's got jet-propelled outhouses, a VW bug, and tons of other stuff just sitting out in his yard. It's kinda cool to see new stuff pop up every once in a while.

Can always have a heavyweight class race as well

Starfarer vs. Merchantman? 1x TR6 vs 1xTR6? Hahaha space bumper cars

I'm thinking we may see some 'combat racing' happening in lawless space. Full contact, weapons hot, first person across the finish line alive wins. Which would really make people think about what ship to use and how to spec it. Do you hope to beat the pack in an M50 with the rear shields cranked up to 11, or do you run a small crewed ship with the strategy of "shoot anything that gets in front of you"?

like the movie death race, crossed with some mad max... time to mount some imps in front of my Freelancer :)

Race in a Bengal.

 

[WarrenPeace]

Race in a Bengal.

"And the racers are coming up on lap 2, and it looks like they're getting ready to lap the Bengal... but what's this? The Bengal has gone into decoupled mode, and is now flying sideways! The racers can't get past! They can't slow down! They're colliding, all of them, oh the carnage! Oh, the humanity! There's flames everywhere ...Cindy, are you getting all this on tape?"

I'd love to see the insurance claim on that one. "Um... the ship fell down some stairs"

About 15 minutes away from my house, there's a guy who is known for going to air shows and the like and strapping jet engines to various vehicles (and outhouses). He's got a rocket powered bus he's working on right outside his house right now.

That is awesome! I'm glad to hear he hasn't died yet!
I'm imagining someone with a similar persona as Mister Torgue.

GUESS WHAT KIDS!!
GET ON THE ROCKET BUS!!
YOU'LL ALL BE GETTING TO SCHOOL EARLY TODAY!!!
