Shockwave Racing League

The Shockwave Racing League, officially the White Wolves SMV Shockwave Air Racing League, is a single-seat, Hydrogen-powered air racing championship run by the White Wolves. The racing sees the eponymous SMV Shockwave aircraft raced in a rally-style time-trial on an Augmented Reality track in the air.

The league is one of very few jet plane racing series and the only one using in-service jet-powered military fighter aircraft. It is also the fastest racing series of any kind, with speeds averaging almost 500 mph, compared to 160 mph at Monza in Formula One.

Overview
The Shockwave Racing League works in a similar way to individual time-trial races. Races are held on Augmented Reality circuits powered by IRIS and visible through the Shockwave's cockpit HUD, these tracks are 'three-dimensional', meaning that the pilots must also manage their altitude. There are no teams, with all eight pilots flying for the White Wolves. There is currently only one Shockwave allowed on the 'track' at one time.

At its core, the SRL is a simple racing series. Each pilot gets three laps of the circuit and their best time is put into the ranks. The pilot with the best time wins the race.
