This game is what now again?
To explain, think of it as the most insanely good looking game ever made, combat racing at 583 KPH... on the lowest speed setting, across some insane tracks, with probably the best ship design ever.

I finished every race in the fury campaign gold medal with that thing. Un-bee-leevable.

Only 583, that's rather slow, don't you think?

For futuristic racers 583 does sound rather slow to me.

Seems reasonable to be, the separators actually need to be able to see them, although at full speed they do go way to fast for the human eye to keep track of.

if spectators are the issue i think there's bigger concerns than being able to see the racers. Like, if one going 4000 kph flies off the track into onlookers.

Oh wait! i forgot, the spectators watch from this high speed camera thing, i remember seeing it a few times. and if i recall correctly all the audience uses holograms for something similar to feel like they're actually watching from seats... if that makes sense.

583 is slowest speed (Venom) there's flash, rapier, and phantom (800, 1000, 1500) and then you have zone for speed freaks (6000+)
