I'll have some pics and specs of the vehicles to be used in this racing after Christmas break when I get back to my computer.
I'm also currently working on a rules system to govern this, and allow for a semi-realistic/reliable racing RP.
This will be open (unless of course, you get yourself kicked out).
Some IC notes:
1. The racing craft will be provided and there will be strict rules on modifications. This is a test of skill, not who can wank the most.
2. Multiple courses will be stationed around the Sol System. Depending on the course, it may be very hazardous to your health.
3. To counter some hazards (such as small asteroids), the ships may be lightly armed. Shooting other players is a no no.
4. More info to come.
5. Teams and sponsors will have to pay a fee to participate in the league.
In addition, media coverage and distribution will have to be negotiated.
IC:
Duryea sighed in relief as he thumbed through some papers. They had successfully secured space in the belts, around Valhalla station, and through the rings. Tugs had begun dragging the decommed gates about the Sol system, stationing them in predetermined spots, forming long courses. Some courses were rather simple affairs, giant invisible loops through an empty plot of space, while others were convoluted knots, twisting and turning through an area of space densely populated with all manners of debris.
They were in the process of purchasing remote camera drones to patrol the courses and overhauling a light fighters to serve as the race horses for these runs.
Soon they would make a public announcement and begin raking in money as sponsors came in.
Duryea smiled. It was going to be a good year.
