WipEout Timeline Redux

[Justice & Curtains]

So this is version 3.0 of the WipEout Timeline Redux, also known as the 2048 Timeline Redux, due to the fact that despite being a franchise reboot, 2048 still seems to stick to the established timeline (although not mechanics and aesthetics).

This timeline also tries to explain when Fury takes place.

Anyway, this is a complete rewrite, now including dates ^_^. This time, the timeline will be created in chunks, as I aim to add far more detail in than the previous version.

Apparently my idea of "soon" is similar to Valve's. Sorry about the stupidly long wait between the A.G.R.C. & F3600 sections.

2051 - Belmondo calls for the standardization of anti-gravity racing, and quickly gains support from the ARC due to the spectacular cost of replacing destroyed craft.

- The ARC officially reveals the F3600 Anti-Gravity Racing League. This league will be far less violent than the A.G.R.C., but will be much faster to compensate.

- (November 21st) - Altima finishes reconstruction to be compatible with the upcoming F3600 league.

2052 - All tracks that are to be included in the F3600 have finished construction.

------SECTION WILL BE UPDATED VERY SOON-----------

[keg_11]

Looks very interesting, though why have you got (at least I think you got) gaps of several years between leagues? One would think they would organise a new formula while the old one continues.

[Justice & Curtains]

The formulae for newer leagues is developed during the current one, and then announced to the public at the conclusion of the current league

[Justice & Curtains]

I'll update this with the A.G.R.C section of the timeline fairly soon my dudes ^_^

[Justice & Curtains]

Added the A.G.R.C section of the timeline! made sure to add way more detail in this section than the previous version of the timeline.
