Teams
The pit lane has 4 team garages, built because the track management planned for competitive team racing from the conception of the track. This provision allows for teams to be established, not only to compete against one another but also to give teams' car creators to show off their cars and advertise where they sell those cars. Teams must have at least 2 drivers to be eligible for a team garage, as well as a car they have full modifying rights for. Team drivers must also have a track rank of 'semi-pro' or better.
These are the teams currently inhabiting the garages:
RedLine Racing - Founded by Mishi Rossini and Will Szymborska, RedLine Racing was the first team created at MyControl Speedway, following the first official open-formula race at the track in which they occupied the top 2 positions. Will Szymborska subsequently left the team, leaving Mishi Rossini to run it alone.
RedLine has enjoyed huge success at MyControl Speedway. Most of this success has been achieved by Yetrates Bates, who still drives for the team and who was made team co-owner by Mishi Rossini not long after she joined. Kandy Tomorrow was also an important driver for the team, winning their most recent gold trophy in the last open-formula race. Kandy has since left the team, though, to form KC Motorsports, casting doubt over the continuation of RedLine's undefeated streak.
Mishi Rossini has driven for the team, with reasonable success, but currently occupies a team manager role.
Pixel Props - Founded and run by Peldon Cordeaux, Pixel Props have had a long standing rivalry with RedLine Racing since they started competing. Pixel Props differ from other teams in that they all drive the same car: the 'V8 Roadster' made by Peldon Cordeaux and based on the real life MG MGB
Cordeaux is the main driver of the team as well as their manager. Suzy Cuddihy, who has built a reputation for herself at other Second Life race tracks, also drives for the team. Caine Beresford was the Pixel Props second driver since the team was established, but has recently left to join Kandy Tomorrow in creating KC Motorsports.
KC Motorsports - KC Motorsports is the newest team at MyControl Speedway, recently founded by Kandy Tomorrow and Caine Beresford who left their previous teams to run KCM together. As yet the team has not entered an official race, but both drivers have established themselves and they look likely to achieve considerable success.
Team Ramrod Racing - This is a team that has only recently appeared, after Ramesses III Pharaoh, creator of the popular RamRod F1 cars, hosted a one-make race at the track to promote his new release of a new Formula 1 car made entirely out of sculpted prims. The team is yet to compete, but the switch of their garage from advertising space to team garage indicates that this may happen in the future.

Famous quotes containing the word teams:
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
