The Cloudspire Racing Team is a racing team from Kylem that won the Ghirapur Grand Prix, and also competes in the second iteration.[1]
Description
The Cloudspire Racing Team is a high-speed, low-drag team of accomplished racers and engineers from Kylem who immigrated to Avishkar after the opening of the Omenpaths.[1] This team surprised fans by winning the very first interplanar Ghirapur Grand Prix, and their victory has lit a fire under the local Aether Rangers.
The Cloudspire Racing Team is big on pedigree, professionalism, and personality.[1] Never the first to cross the line of legality into outright clashing—but also never the first to back down—the Cloudspire Racing Team upholds the adage: "Rubbing is racing."
Cloudspire's co-captains in the second annual interplanar Ghirapur Grand Prix are racer Chandra Nalaar and mechanic Kolodin, the latter being the previous year's sole captain.[1][2] Chandra's choice to join Cloudspire over the Aether Rangers sent shockwaves through the Avishkari public, who assumed she would join her mother Pia as co-captain of the home team. However, Chandra's desire to win the Aetherspark for her lover, Nissa, overrode other loyalties.[3] Kolodin, ever the team player, has worked to integrate her into his squad with as little friction as possible.
Vehicles
Cloudspire's drivers and vehicles are paragons of racecraft, the most professional, high-speed, low-drag racers, with machines built to awe and thrill that float on energy projections.[1][4] Their branding is as aggressive as their racing style: fast, bright, and loud, giving the appearance of little subtlety or nuance while frustratingly quite good. Team captain Chandra piloted a bike.[5]
