Pod Racing

Be’ergo Circuit

Be’ergo a gotal started up a pod racing league after the Imperials and the Rebels signed the peace accord. Be’ergo remembered what the pod races were like when he was a kid and since peace had broken out he decided to use the money he had made from being a mercenary to start the league because he enjoyed pod racing. The league has been successful and now has several different divisions and tracks on many worlds. Many other people have created pod racing leagues after seeing Be’ergo’s success. The final race of the veteran division is the culmination of the season and is held on the deadly course of Tiranna on Malastare.

Many of the courses feature combined obstacles. The most common are low visibility turns, turns in narrows, and turns on water. All three are more difficult than normal turns and makes the courses more deadly. Some of the tracks also feature alternate routes. The most obvious example is threading the needle in the Mos Espa Grand.

Pinot Prix
The Pinot Prix is held on Corellia and since it is on such a civilized world there are few dangers on the track. It is very popular since it is close to civilization but safety regulations top it from being too difficult. The track is built over the ground and has a transparisteel wall that protects the fans. The course is fast and most of the action is acquired from the high speed hair-pin turns that are in the track. Near the beginning is a towering spiral that is the showcase of the track. 1. Clear
