Well, I'm a bit of an FNG when it comes to this sort of thing, being new to SPACE in general, but I'll give it a shot.
I'm assuming training for pro-racers means simulator hours and time behind the stick, but what else goes into it? Just a physical health regimen?
For that matter, do cyberized racers race in different categories than fleshy ones? Or are all racers at least a little bit metal?
And what goes into choosing your course anyway? I mean, you guys fly around, so you don't need a physical track or road so much as a series of markers, which could all be implemented using GPS and AR now that I think about it. So are there regulation distances and turns? Different constraints for flying in different levels of gravity and atmosphere?
Sorry, seems I'm prattling a bit. I should let some one else ask something too...
