Infrastructure

Infrastructure is a race course located within the busy neon cities of The Black Region. This course is known for its three-tiered setup, where racers go across different floors of the course depending on how the course is configured. A couple of racing series use this course in different types of configurations, with some being longer and more difficult than others. The FX500 Racing League is the only series that uses all three floors of the course.

The Course’s Development
Infrastructure used to be a track and field facility which broke ground in 2905 and then opened to the public in 2911. In the early years, the facility was used often by beginners and professionals alike. Unfortunately, the facility became less and less used as the years went by. Maintenance of the facility was hard to maintain due to the fact that the building was vertical and windows were difficult to clean. Strangely, attendance in the facility declined more and more at the years went by, despite new fitness equipment being added. In the year 2932, the facility closed. The original owners of the building opted not to demolish the building and instead transform it to serve a different purpose. Race organizers made a deal with the owners of the facility to start a new construction project. It would take a few more dozen years before a full fledged race course would be created, and it would end up being named Infrastructure. Some of the framework of the original facility was reused in order to create the scaffolding that holds up the newly built course.

The Course Today
Very little remains of what this race course used to be. However, fans of this course fondly remember its foundations and what the course used to be. There are plenty of lights and signs throughout the course to help racers navigate the course. The first tier of the course holds the starting grid, the grandstands for attendees to watch the race, and a relatively straight line towards the next tier. A small jump is located right before the finish line. The second tier focuses on tight corners and quick chicanes; it is noted as the most difficult part of the course. The third tier of the course is more of an open area, featuring small towers that racers must avoid ramming into. Mag-locks are located at the ends of each tier, serving as the paths to quickly send racers from one tier to the next.

Trivia
The name of the course, Infrastructure, is a reference to a wireless connection mode of the same name that is included in Playstation Portable gaming consoles.
