Description[edit]
The Crimson Streak is a specialized Civil War Era Civilian Vehicle intended to compete on race tracks across the Inner Sphere. The origin of the vehicle can be traced to Champion Hoversports, a race car team-turned-special manufacturer. The Crimson Streak was the result of decades of success racing with their own customized vehicles in the Hovercar racing circuits. The company started producing its own vehicles in 3042, where they would push ahead to create a mass-produced hovercar racer. The Crimson Racer would be the outcome of their success story.[1][2]
Equipment and Capabilities[edit]
Built on an ultralight Chassis, the Crimson Streak is designed as a fast vehicle, while being able to handle punishment if there should be an accident on the track. The vehicle is powered by an electric fuel cell, which propels the vehicle upwards to 260 km/h. The single man vehicle protects its pilot with 315 kg of BAR 8 civilian armor and tiny 62 kg worth of cargo space.[1][2]
