ARA - Landscape - The Rust Circle
The Accelerated Racing Association presents the official track map for: The Rust Circle.
Location: Mars
Type: Multi-Lap
Length: 32 miles // 51 kilometers
Commissioned in the year 2216
The Rust Circle is the 3rd sanctioned track built on Mars by the Accelerated Racing Association, and its most ambitious. Of the three tracks available on Mars, The Rust Circle is now considered to be the most dangerous. In the six years of its operation, more than thirty drivers have been killed racing it, and more than a hundred more have suffered severe injury. It's not the most dangerous track in the Association, but it is predicted to claim that title within the next four years if the current trend in accidents hold.
The hazard level of this track was expected and planned for. Three micro-Domes were built along the course, all of which contain emergency facilities and Rapid Response Teams. There is enough garage space in the primary micro-Dome ARA-D 01 to house sixty drivers and their crews, and the hospital space available on-site can accommodate as many as eighty patients.
The majority of the deaths and injuries on The Rust Circle occur on the Death Valley and Pillars of Salt portions of the track, responsible for more than 80% of all incidents.
With Mars officially permitting the construction of sanctioned tracks in 2202, and with only three tracks to show for it in twenty years, it is not expected that Mars will become the next hot tourist spot for racing fans in the near future. The current Martian government is still highly isolationist and reluctant to allow any new construction on behalf of non-native businesses. With its close proximity to Earth, the three tracks it does have are profitable, but the Solar System is home to other much more welcoming locations for racing fans to visit. Analysts do not expect the Association to pull out of Mars demo, but to do as they have always done in the past: Play the long game and wait until there is another regime change.
