Nothing compares to the sheer spectacle of Podracing as witnessed in the worlds of the Outer Rim. Racers tear through rugged landscapes driving all manner of non-standardized machines a in a contest of raw nerve and razor-edge calculation. Each racer has fought blistering competition to get on the circuit, rules are seen as guidelines, and safety concerns are thrown to the wind. To witness an all-star event like the Boonta Eve Podrace on Tatooine is to live the thrill of racing at its most intense.
The atmosphere before a Podrace is electric. Spectators take their seats in the stands; the rich enter their boxes or elevating platforms for an aerial view; Podracers are prepared in the pit building and the betting floors are scenes of feverish activity as the odds are updated every few second.
