Man.. My mind is just blowing up!.
Imagine all the people traveling to a sector because of the Grand Prix, the spaceship specially designed for racing. But this is just the tip of the iceberg... Imagine the underground racing! a lot of ships modified to best fit in the underground circuits within the rings of planets, through the rocks, inside planets... omg, I'm already imagining a sidewinter fully modified for that LOL!
And people could share those setups, removing unnecessary modules, improving maneuverability, speed, integrity... in case you crash but want to continue. =D
I think this could be EASILY a new carrear. =D
