I'd like to know how many people would be interested in a racing RP that would be similar to a WipEout race.

I've had the idea for a while now, but after seeing such little interest in other racing proposals, I kinda backed off on the idea.



I've played almost all the WipEout versions. From the first WipEout, through to WipEout: Pure.

Here's a little intro I wrote up for it:

Fade from black...

Hands on the wheel... You look out through your canopy to other Hovering AG racers around your own, as your heart begins to pound.

On the Holo-Projector that towers over the track, the announcer opens her mouth. You don't hear what she says over the whine of the twin turbo-jets as they throttle up mere inches behind you. Sweat beads on your forehead while the sun shines in your eyes...

3!...

Your grip tightens.

2!...

your breath grows shorter...

1!...

The whine grows louder, as the few second before the start stretches to an eternity. Suddenly...

GO!

Other AG racers all around you streak forward. Your vision, now a blur, fades in an out while instinct takes over as you find yourself in the first 270 degree turn at over 1,000 miles per hour... Plasma bolts explode, missiles rip other racers the shreds, and even the track flips up and throws every ship around like rag dolls.

Welcome, to AG racing...

Out of all the sports that have emerged over the years in the Sovereignty, one seems to have taken the population by storm. This is AG racing. With different racer teams coming in from all over the galaxy in addition to a few home teams, all vying for the coveted Gold, it is by far the most popular competition ever. Even the Government sponsors its very own AG team.

The first competition was held only a decade ago, but the sport has shown no signs of slowing down. The racing isn't as mild as the primitive competition that occurs on Earth. Here, racing involves a liberal use of standardized weaponry, all designed to blast the competition off the track. Safety and Security regulations prevent anyone from actually getting hurt, but being blasted out of first place mere meters from the finish by a well placed missile hurts ones pride just as much physical injury.

The First AG competition to invite teams from the Milky Way galaxy are scheduled to occur later this year. It is hoped that including ever more spectators from another galaxy will boost the sport's phenomenal popularity even further.
