Cool: Rocket Races

Now that the X-Prize was such a success and managed to re-energise people imagination, it’s time to create new kind of racing, using rocket powered ships!

Peter Diamandis, the guy who made the X-Prize, has decided to make a rocket racing league that will enable spectators to watch races between rocket planes, saying the cosmic derbies will help open up the space frontier.

The rocket races will use rocket planes known as X-Racers participating in vertical races with high-speed turns.

Could be interesting… All of this will happen sometime in 2007.
