We know, we fear change too but this week's video feature is so good that it deserves to get thrown up top. This week we bring you an F1 caliber race map that's so classy it only needs to be called RACE2 but after some in-house tweaks we've re-imagined the original map submitted by a loyal X3F soldier and renamed it to the X3F Speedway.
Deviously tight corners and strategically designed checkpoints lace a weaving variation of Sandtrap to make this one of the best constructed pure race maps online.
Including two gametypes, X3F Speedway can be enjoyed solo in X3F Solo-Ninja or in a two-person team rocket race in X3F Escort Rockets. Either way you slice it, it's pure fun. If this week's content were the weather we'd call for good times with a strong chance of awesomeness.

X3F Escort Rockets Gametype
In X3F Team Rockets you and a friend must weave your way through the tightly constructed X3F Speedway attempting to fend off the competition with an infinite supply of rockets through two laps.
X3F VIP Solo-Ninja Gametype
In X3F Solo you the only challenge is your driving skill and the clock. Beat other challengers around the winding ridge until you cross the final finish line in two laps of sheer madness!
Note: Other vehicles are used to make the passageway and assassination is still possible, but every kill you make decreases your score by 1 point! You can still rocket foes into space, but don't go after them to break the game!
Originally conceived without any checkpoints, Sphinx454 designed this amazing map and offered it up for this week's content. We've gone in and tweaked the map only to add checkpoints. You can download the original version on Sphinx454's file share (File name: RACE2)
