"Racing? What exactly do you hope to accomplish through that?" a brunette carrying a bloody dagger asked Ayumu as he folded up the entry form.
"Well, if I want to establish a light fighter squadron, I should prove that I'm a good pilot. People rarely hear the details of those Corsair attacks and hired murderers, but if I win a few races, people will hear about that." With a pause, he added, "Besides, I hear there's more than just monetary prizes available sometimes... that may just be a rumor, but there could be something to it."
"I'll watch the hangar while you're out."
"Good. That defense drone isn't running properly yet. It shot at me last time I activated it..."

Greetings racers.
Thank you for registering. You're now on the list of racers that may participate in our sponsored races. Thank you, and we hope you have fun flying with us.
John was sitting at one of the many CNS access monitors in one of Manhattan's bars. Bored to death, his eyelids at half-staff, he scrolled through the news, trying to get a worthy story to write about out of the plethora of happenings in Sirius.
Just before falling asleep while browsing, he noticed something. He went back, selected the news topic and read through it.
"A race? Now, that should be interesting! And my Arrow should still be in good shape... at least for some races. Those buggers at the editorial staff will better pay me the expenses this time!"

Background History:
Greetings,
well, I started working for the Colonial News Service one and a half year ago, as I found myself depleted of any finances after some gambling on Gran Canaria. As a born Zoner, they took me in with open arms, considering my neutrality might help me out with the job.
During my time as a reporter, I saw quite a part of Sirius, nearly lost my life about a dozen times and learned to get away fast when needed.
I'd like to report for CNS what's happening during these races and, as a journalist is not that wealthy, try to win at least some races.

Greetings!
We'd love to have you onboard and attend our races. Currently, we are still undergoing some starting difficulties, but we'll get the races up and going as soon as possible.
Also, as you are racing for the CNS, it would give us more publicity, which is exactly what we need in space.

Welcome to the races, our registration board has been updated and the error in team names has been corrected for the XA.
Mr. Morris, for now I have you as an independent racer, if you'd like to create or be part of a team, simple send me the name of the team you'd like to join. Also note that, there is a restriction on ship classes, we at the moment do not allow gunboats to enter the races.
Iâll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because itâs flag that I love
And a flag that I trust
"'Ey! Christian! This 'ere's Mike. I got me ship, tha' one you'd said were required I make use of. Amusin' lil' toy, this Scimitar. Position o' the bloody stick is causin' my crotch to chafe, an' the seat's squeezin' my arse like a vise. Few other things I need to work on, too, but I digress. This thing gotta be stock?"
"R'gardless, my gratitude for the invite to the SRS. Look forward to doin' the job an' kickin' your backside all 'round the lanes in the near future. Though why ya got to 'llow them durn Xenos in on it? Lookin' forward to the red'n black races! Ha-ha..."
"Gonna take this puppy out to the Dublin system an' give'r a good go 'gainst them 'otshot Mollies."

Background History: I was born on planet Baden-Baden as the son of a successfull cross country hoverrace driver. My father of course being the biggest petrolhead of the family passed this down to me and I was also infected by the speed virus. My racing history on Baden-Baden led me from the local racing scene to the bigger cities and metropoles where, due to my talent I was able to work myself to the best drivers of that planet.
It didn't end there though as I was fortunate enough to have Cryer Pharmaceuticals as my main sponsor who opened to me the fascinating universe of star racing. When I joined the SRS-Racing team I knew some great challenges, trials and tribulations were to come.
I am looking forward to some great races and spectacular duels fo the spectators!
