Racing

Racing is the speed demon's career, filled with thrumming engines, chanting fans, and split-second decisions. Racers tune their beloved M50 Interceptor or 350r to racing specifications for months before each race, trying to get that slight edge on their opponents. The grand dream of any racer is the Murray Cup, the jewel in star racing's triple crown.

There are two major types of racing in Star Citizen, ship racing and ground racing. The current time trial missions only support ship racing, while there are community events where ground races are organized.

Ship Racing

There are numerous dedicated racing ships available but racing is not limited to those ships. Popular racing ship choices include but are not limited to the 350r, M50, P-52 Merlin, P-72 Archimedes, Razor and Razor LX
