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.
