The Immortal Grand Prix is Redmires most-popular sport. It’s so popular that an entire city was built for the racing industry where competitions take place on a huge, 60-mile track called “The Big Eye.” In the Immortal Grand Prix, two teams of three mechas, high-tech fighting machines driven by humans, race at speeds greater than 350 mph. While it has transformed from a battle event to a race in the intervening 14 years since the sport was first invented in Redmire, the Immortal Grand Prix retains ties to its fighting roots, as attacking the opposing team in order to disable their mechas (thus preventing them from winning the race) is not only legal, but also expected. There are 3 categories and championships: IG-1, IG-2 and IG-3; 3 being the lowest and 1 being the highest. The sport usually begins in January and ends in December, the racing this year(2005)in Redmire has concluded and will begin on January.
