Cool So, we all know Car racing (F1) has gotten boring these days...
How about, some Rocket ship racing!

Quote:
...

The RRL will see Grand Prix-style races between rocket planes, flown by top pilots through a "3D trackway" just 5,000ft (1,500m) above the ground.

The first RRL events are expected to take place next year.

Dr Diamandis said the races would be run over aerial tracks that were about two miles (3.2km) long, one mile (1.6km) wide, and about 5,000ft high, running perpendicularly to spectators.

The X-Racers will take off from a runway both in a staggered fashion and side by side, and fly a three-dimensional course with long straights, vertical ascents, and deep banks.
:O

Does that sound a bit more interesting ?
I'm not sure how they'd deal with the 'oh shit my rocket ships about to blow up and kill me' problem. Though i guess ejector seats maybe.

Sounds like it might be worth watching at least

Sweet Jesus and Mary, that sounds like a brilliant idea

I think it is interesting, but will be very expensive and highly dangerous

Re: So, we all know Car racing (F1) has gotten boring these days...
Who came up with this?
"Formula 1 is getting boring, even if Michael Schumacher isn't winning all the time any more."
"Well, that's racing around in fast cars. What can be more exciting than that?"
"Let's get people in space ships doing the courses instead. That'll be safe, we'll keep a minimum distance between them"
Quote:
Each pilot will follow his or her own "virtual tunnel" of space with the aid of satellite-navigation technology, safely separated from their competitors by a minimum distance.
"Yeah, if it gets boring we can just reduce the minimum space"


So, they all have their own slightly different circuit (hopefully the same length), to stop them hitting each other, with gismos to tell them when they're not on it.
Where's the skill?
