-Frame Runnng is an international vehicular racing/combat sport enjoying moderate public attention at this time. Originally of Lorath origin, it involves the use of modified repurposed military surplus frames (3-5 meter tall mecha with fighter-like plasma engines) which are then raced along the ground and through the air over bizzare three dimensional courses many kilometers long while battling for physical supremacy in a mixture with the gladiatorial aggression of stock racing, the technical finesse and sophistication of high-class auto-racing, the texture in maneuvering of boat-racing, the sheer speed of fighter-jets, the sheer violence of ice-hockey, the grappling and striking of mixed martial arts and the larger than life personalities of pro-wrestling.

 With high fatalities and induction power demands matching those of a capital city, the Velocitor is the fastest experimental circuit and is reserved only for the finest pilots and most advanced teams in known space ((Visually, I like to think of it as the final moments of Evangelion meet the way the moon was lit in Space 2001.)).
+=== Lor II "Noval" ===
+Noval has corkscrew open-top tunnels providing crushing G-forces before forcing pilots to dive off a sheer cliffed flat of track where plasma and gravity are disabled, to navigate the vertical drop either in free-fall or gaining induction support for plasma engines back again only by skating in contact along the 4.3 kilometer death-slide through the descent as the track beneath rolls sequenced stills of famous racing events which to drivers become living animation during the mach 3 dive. Bells along its edges are rung out only by the harsh compression shockwaves of a sonic boom and at the right speed with the right number of pilots in sequence, the Lorath national anthem can be played.
+=== Nyli II "Straights" ===
+The track's major straight twists over and over in a massive arch forcing pilots to follow like some maddened mobius: First rising up into the air then slamming down underground through tunnels in flashing checkerboard madness before moving into a free-fall jump where gravity support is disabled...

 === Pendragon "Pinnacle" ===
 This is shaped like an upside down T. It’s a fight against gravity both up and down, with straightaway after straightaway promising intense engagements.
+=== Occhestia IV "Prua" ===
+Prua has 'dog-balls' corners which shift and pitch forcing pilots to downshift through chains of rolling S-turns with track rising up along the edges: Pilots often slamming into the corners shoulder to shoulder as they try to make it through
