The F-Zero Grand Prix dates back to the 26th century. This grand race featured the most technological racing machines competing in several circuits (or cups) of fast-paced floating action. It was well known for it's wild fans and eccentric competitors. Winners of the Grand Prix received large sums of money and a great deal of prestige. Due to the large number of injured participants, the Grand Prix was canceled several years ago.
The History of F-Zero
It is said that F-Zero derives from the old F-1 Race of the 20th and 21st centuries and the F-Max Grand Prix of the 24th century. Over the years, races became influenced by wealthy ex-space merchants. They thought that a fast and violent race would be a great way to get people to gamble, so the ex-merchants established the
F-Zero Execution Project.
*F-Zero Machines
By using an opposing-gravity system called the "G-Diffuser System," these machines can drive at high speeds hovering just inches above the ground. Using their ultra-compact plasma engines, their maximum speeds can exceed the speed of sound.
*F-Zero Circuits
Courses for F-Zero are set high above cities. Some cities have multiple circuits--circuits not used for the Grand Prix are open to pilots for practice.
