Removed some sections
[edit]I've pulled two of the sections on this page as I've been engaged in a rewrite. These don't seem very encyclopedic to me, but the data in them might be useful. Copied below. -ParkerHiggins ( talk contribs ) 03:43, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
Racer4
[edit]AFAIK in 2019 and onwards the Racer4 is used? Some description of it would be useful, and I believe there was a crowd-funding campaign where a version of the Racer4 "street" was sold. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.130.186.13 (talk) 13:42, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Players
[edit]There are sixteen current racers[1]. The majority of them of them are from the United States, but some have originated from Canada, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Some of the players are licensed to a $75,000 contract[2][3]

Season Three
[edit]I believe that there is going to be a season 3, based on their most recent YouTube video. So shouldn't we have a section for that? Ramesty (talk) 17:30, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
