The Vespene Grand Prix is a planet wide race open to all factions in Terran space no matter what government they belong to. Held annually on the desert planet of Quorellia, over a hundred racers come to participate for glory and/or prize money. Because of the large publicity and a year long contact for choice property, many sponcers hire mercenary gangs known for their skill in high speed danger zones to race. Currently, the organization known as the Infernal Basterds hold the championship title five years running.
