The Air Race Internationale

The Air Race Internationale or ARI, is held every X years by the AeroKnights corporation as a celebration of post-war unity and a showcase of aviation technology. Nations all across Ereth (and even some large companies) send pilot teams to compete in the race, with the hope of displaying airpower dominance and securing the Ace's Bounty, a cache of untold wealth awarded to the overall winner.

The ARI is comprised of four circuits (Bronze, Silver, Gold and the Ace's Cup), with five (three to five?) courses each. Each course consists of six (four to six?) pilot teams racing wing-to-wing in some of the most challenging and downright dangerous aeroracing in the world. The overall winner of their circuit will automatically qualify for the next Cup series, and eventually culminate in the Ace's Duel.
