My top three teams are:
Icaras (Home nation and playstyle)
Assegai (A nicely balanced machine I think)
FEISAR (For the ultra-technical circuits, though I have learnt to handle them with the Icaras)
I lean more to Fury than HD for the ships.

My favourite three tracks:
Sebenco Climb
The Amphiseum
Sol 2

I SO wish they put Vertica into the game from Pulse.
