'''Racing''' is the speed demon's career, filled with thrumming engines, chanting fans, and split-second decisions. Racers tune their beloved [[StarCitizen:M50 Interceptor]] or [[StarCitizen:350r]] to racing specifications for months before each race, trying to get that slight edge on their opponents. The grand dream of any racer is the [[StarCitizen:Murray Cup]], the jewel in star racing's triple crown.<ref>{{Cite RSI|text=Comm-Link:Galactic Guide - The Murray Cup|int=Comm-Link:Galactic Guide - The Murray Cup|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/spectrum-dispatch/14188-The-Murray-Cup}}</ref>

There are two major types of racing in ''[[StarCitizen:Star Citizen]]'', ship racing and ground racing. The current time trial missions only support ship racing, while there are community events where ground races are organized.

==Ship Racing==
There are numerous dedicated racing ships available but racing is not limited to those ships. Popular racing ship choices include but are not limited to the [[StarCitizen:350r]], [[StarCitizen:M50]], [[StarCitizen:P-52 Merlin]], [[StarCitizen:P-72 Archimedes]], [[StarCitizen:Razor]], [[StarCitizen:Mustang Gamma]], [[StarCitizen:Fury LX]] and [[StarCitizen:Razor LX]]

==Race Tracks==
[[File:Lorville Outskirts Racetrack 02.jpg|alt=an overview of the Lorville Outskirts|thumb|The Lorville Outskirts is the first race track of the time trial missions]]
Several racing locations in Stanton were added in [[Update:Star Citizen Alpha 3.18.0|Patch 3.18]]. These race tracks were community-driven in their creation and feature updated assets and set dressings.

==Time Trials==
Time Trial missions were added in [[Update:Star Citizen Alpha 3.18.0|Patch 3.18]] under a racing category. Time trial missions are issued by [[StarCitizen:Wildstar Racing]] and new time trial missions are unlocked by increasing your reputation with [[StarCitizen:Wildstar Racing]].

The rewards for the time trials are cumulative. Eg. If you finish with a silver timing, you get the rewards for bronze and DNP (return of mission fee) as well.

[[File:Time Trial Mission HUD Display.jpg|thumb|Helmet HUD display when completing a Racing time trial mission]]
When participating in a time trial mission, it is strongly encourage to wear a helmet as the timer and time trial result is only displayed in your helmet HUD.

== Ground Racing ==
[[File:SCL StarKart.jpg|alt=picture of the vision center race track|thumb|BTR Vision Center Race Track in the Orison Vision Center. This is a dedicated race track for the [[Greycat PTV|Greycat PTV Buggy]]]]
While there are no official ground racing tracks yet available in the core missions, there are community races using various areas in Stanton as race tracks. Vehicles using in ground races include [[StarCitizen:Cyclone RC]], [[StarCitizen:HoverQuad]], [[StarCitizen:Greycat PTV]] and the [[StarCitizen:Dragonfly|Dragonfly.]]

A race track was built into the Orison Vision Center on Crusader which features an indoor race track for the [[StarCitizen:Greycat PTV]] in [[StarCitizen:3.18|Alpha 3.18.0]].
