			I was in mid-race doing Celestial Rush and abruptly slowed down to my normal hoverboard speed and the courses just went POOF! Was wondering if the event ended?

			Glad it'll return.  I didn't participate this time around as I was sort of in "event fatigue".   Hopefully it can pop back in as a fun thing to do when nothing else is going on.	
----
			Yup shorter than a single run of Quiet Downs, and a really nice break.

Oh, relatedly, again due to level and time, I didn't head by to see if spectators were possible.  Are the races and racers visible to passers-by, or just the track itself?  If both racers and track can be seen by anyone in the area, I can easily see the event allowing for a regular [annual? semi-annual? monthly?] "role-playing" event involving audience, racers, 'vendors,' 'bookies,' entertainers, and so on.

While you can most assuredly watch other people race, it would be really hard to make that interesting, since the tracks are so vast.
 
What I think would be interesting is if they could make working jumbotrons, placed at the start or the finish line and project a realtime view of each checkpoint (with the appropriate cambots floating next to the track.
----
			Doo*N* just sayin.

I would LOVE a jumbotron in Illium. It wouldn't even have to show just races. It could show PVP matches, raids-in-progress, people doing The Gauntlet and all kinds of other things. Not to mention Artemis Zin and Corrigan Doom's shows.

			Can I ask a serious question? Why have these events in a limited form? What purpose is served by removing them?   This seems like something really cool that should just be in the game all the time.

It's funny, but it seems like with more casual content, Carbine doesn't even know when they've hit it out of the park :p
 
I didn't actually do any of these, but everyone I know who did loved them. Reminds me of not realizing how awesome Shiphands were at launch (and thus, not having the veteran versions in the game).

			My point was that it seems like a very cool thing to have in the game.  And what purpose was served by turning it off?

			I wouldn't mind seeing a permanent track in the game. Would be a way to keep our racing skills up for the next event. After all, Shade's Eve has an instance with fighting and we have instances with fighting the rest of the year. But, yeah, the big event would get old if it was around all the time. It's good that it's only around a short time, but it might be nice if there was a race somewhere we could still do. It's unfortunate to have hoverboards and no real hoverboard content.

Probably so they can go back to the drawing board, discuss feedback, and see if there are any changes they want to make before making it a permanent thing.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Couldn't that be done while leaving the event active?
----
			I guess it messes up the leveling zones a little just for them to be there all the time, but the event could be like monthly or so, or as others said, replanned and in another form.	
----
			Is there anyway to make these races instanced? The lag kills it. I would have delayed boosts and everything. It ruins the experience.
