Race Events
MyControl Speedway is the only Second Life race track to hold official races with no limits on the vehicles that may be entered. This provides a unique spectacle, as the most successful cars have evolved to reach huge speeds, often around 400 km/h, and turn corners very tightly. This means that top drivers have to be very skilled. They must know how to drive their cars effectively as well as utilise precise timing and concentration to lap consistently fast.
Recently, the official open-formula races have been accompanied by support races which are one-make events. These have come in the form of a single race for drivers of the MR Blitz built my Mishi Rossini and the newly released sculpted RamRod F2007 F1 car.
To date, all prize money for the open-formula races has been supplied by race sponsors PLUSX.de, a German web design company.
The nature of these unlimited races has tended to be inaccessible to many regular drivers at the track, who do not have the required expertise to develop a competitive car. There are plans for the track's first points tournament to be started for these people to have a chance to compete against the track's best. The Blitz Cup is a one-make race tournament between racers driving the MR Blitz, built by Mishi Rossini, who is also organising and running the tournament.

Famous quotes containing the words race and/or events:
“Home? I have no home. Hunted, despised, living like an animal. The jungle is my home. But I will show the world that I can be its master. I will perfect my own race of people, a race of atomic supermen, which will conquer the world.”
—Edward D. Wood, Jr. (1922–1978)
“One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people; and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant. They are two orders of fact which reflect each other, which are always linked and which sometimes provoke each other.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
