A hundred ships. One track. Live.

The teaser

Hollis Quill would like a word.

Thirty-two real racers and sixty-eight rival drivers with names, grudges and terrible mottos, on a new track every race. A director cuts the broadcast as it happens; cameras get hit, glass cracks, the feed goes to static and the booth carries on regardless.

How it works

Free to enter. Hard to finish.

• Fly to your home station, dock and register at the Port. Entry is free; a computer is needed (it will not run on a phone).
• Pick a fighter and tune it from the same points budget as everyone else. Nobody sees what you picked. Money never buys speed or strength.
• Every racer gets a number drawn at random, painted on the ship. The commentators use it to tell you apart.
• Destroyed is out: no respawns. The out join the Gallery and choose the hazards that come next, and they remember who put them there.
• The board goes dark for the last twenty minutes. Nobody knows who leads until the finish.
• The winner gets a 5 GBP gift card by email, automatically (races entered from the desktop app; checked for cheating first).
