| In 2001, a small group of young men started a motor race, quite different to any other race due to its highly dangerous chicanes. Due to the sheer entertainment value, these races soon became regular events and started gathering an increasing crowd of enthusiastic fans and followers. In 2003, one of the races was finally broadcast by a small TV-station, receiving an extraordinary response.
The viewers couldn’t get enough of the thrill provided by the daring pilots and the dangerous tracks, so that by 2004 the races were broadcast on all important channels. More and more racing tracks were constructed and ever more drivers dared to compete.
When in 2006 the Englishman Edgar T. Rumble developed the most dangerous circuit so far, however, events should take a tragic turn: The race ended with the death of 24 of the 100 competing pilots. Not soon after, the motor races, now colloquially coined RumbleRaces, were officially banned.
Still they didn't lose their fascination and after enough pressure by the media and the thrill-seeking audience, new races were held in 2008. The organization NRB was founded, banning pilots with a low license from competing on dangerous circuits and dividing circuits into 6 different levels of difficulty. Today the RumbleRaces have managed to outrank anything else and have even entirely displaced formerly popular programs on some channels. The teams are today's heroes and license A pilots are revered as Gods. |
