Actually COOLER than Giant Squid!!!

This is beyond neat!



Yes, boys and girls, it's ROCKETPLANE RACING!! Cool, cutting edge and yet somehow splendidly retro!

More proof that we are finally living in the future! :)


The planes will have a burn time of only 4 minutes according to the league website, which means that boost-glide timing and tactics as well as pit crew performance will be vital. Also the planes will have kerosene/LOX motors for lots of orange flamey stuff so this looks to actually be an interesting race turning on skill as much as performance.

I'm not a big NASCAR fan but this looks pretty cool and supports the X prize folks so I'm gonna definitely tune in!
