With tensions between the USA and Russia resurfacing after being dormant for decades, the two superpowers returned to their scramble for superior technology over the other. One of the many new concepts devised was the idea of “Negative-Gravitation.” a physics effect that essentially allows for completely stealthy and perfect 3-dimensional control of aircraft. Another was Ion-Based Repulsion, which created an energy field around craft, protecting them from harm.
Both the USA and Russia experimented excessively with the new technology, Negative-gravity aircraft spotted around the world and mistaken for UFO sightings. Under the cover of the world’s rallied excitement for First Contact, the superpowers continued testing in secret. Until the one fateful day of the year 2051, the Russian government announced the technology to it’s people, claiming supremacy over the USA. Scared of falling behind, America too developed consumer brand Negative-Gravity craft.
The Americans did not stop there, they went as far as to organize the Negative-Gravity Racing League (NGRL). The first races scheduled to be held in 2059. While the world was disappointed at the lost possibility of ET, they flocked to the new technology with great enthusiasm. Several teams arouse thanks to the shared technology from the USA.
The Russians too developed their very own elitist “Hyperion” team to participate. However, the Americans were very reluctant to allow Russian blood in their new sport, fearing the competition would lead to increased tensions. This fear worked against them, after a massive controversy, the Hyperion team was allowed to race, but not before increasing the tension between the two nations even further.
The race is on! The NGRL is here!
Locations:
Project Utah - Originally a top-secret testing track for ground based Negative-Gravity. The American government re-purposed this location into an official NGRL circuit shortly after the sport was announced.
