Super Crossers

*"When Group B got the axe following old Hermani Viitanen's tragic accident, plus other factors, the 4WD monsters of the now-discontinued formula were adapted for rallycross. From 1987 to 1992, these beauts, plus a couple of Group S prototypes, have raged through the dirt tracks under Division 2. If you already have a Group B Rally Car on hand, you can have it converted into a Super Crosser. Cool, huh?!" - Garage Description, King of the Hammers*

**Super Crossers** are a fanonical vehicle class created by JustAlex93 and featured in *MotorStorm: King of the Hammers*.

Beyond the Load Region

The area **Beyond the Load Region** (known as **Load-Free Region** in the original translation) refers to the area that isn't currently observed by living beings within the simulation. It's located outside of the simulated world. It storages everything that is not currently observed.

Since it's established that the world is simulated, even for a QCDC, a simulation of this scale would be hard to run. To minimize the load, the QCDC optimizes the simulation. Specifically, it omits every place that is not being observed until someone actually sees it. For example, it omits the outer space and inside of the planet too, like its core and mantle. It even omits the area people are not currently looking at. The omission ends the moment something is observed. By saving load, the QCDC can minimze freezing, errors and increase equipment's lifespan.

By reaching it, Factors within the simulation can come into direct contact with their simulation's Observer. It's also worth mentioning that the Black Knight satellite which functions as Observer's "eye" is located there.

Conversely, the **Load Region** refers to the everything that is currently rendered and observed by living beings within the simulation.

## In other SciADV entries

* Steins;Gate: The Movie - Load Region of Déjà Vu has *Load Region* in it's name. In the movie, Load and Beyond the Load regions are important plot elements and occur many times.

Wulff Glassman SP1

The Wulff Glassman SP1 is a Rally Car created by Seinfelder80. The vehicle first appeared in BigBig's (The creators of Arctic Edge) "Pursuit Force" series and has been brought into the Motorstorm canon, with Motorstorm and Pursuit Force taking place in the same universe.

## Description

Wulff's R&D team in Munich had spent years of research and development in order to make the brand new 2005 Glassman SP1 the perfect blend between high speed and elegant styling. But you're in the Motorstorm festival, so throw the ladder out the window. This baby has all the high tech gadgets that you need to boast about to your rich friends, only they are now ripped out in order to save weight in a mud-clogged stampede. Known for being the vehicle of choice used by Capital State's Pursuit Force team. But you're in the festival, so there's no one to help save you from the insanity. Face it, this is Motorstorm here, we don't really care about what is considered "elegant styling".

## Trivia

* The overall vehicle resembles a BMW Z8, but with hints of other cars like the Ferrari 550 Barchetta and Fiat Coupe.
* The vehicle would have the ability to toggle police lights only on the "Pursuit Force" vinyl
* A license plate for Capital State appears only on the "Pursuit Force" vinyl.
* As inspected by the interior of the Glassman, the Glassman SP1 features a 6-speed manual gearbox.

TUZ Tatarin

*For being a runner-up and finishing the Festival with all silver medals, we issue you a civilian-grade APC, or the legendary TUZ Tatarin. It was recovered from a thawed-out bog in Lake Kovd, which was south of Lake Imandra. Anyways, this radical machine is the runner up for being the ulitmate off-road vehicle, from the ZiKZ 605R, but is a step above the Khan Marshall. Anyways, it's purely meant for vehicular combat, and a ram will instantly wreck anything smaller than a Rally Car, and of course, it is immune to being crushed by a Monster Truck or a Log Crusher.*

The **TUZ Tatarin** is a crossover vehicle appearing in *MotorStorm: Untamed Tundra*. It canonically appears in *SnowRunner*, and can be found in the Taymyr region, by either finding northwest of Zimnegorsk, or can be recovered through the Pacifist task in The Rift.

Starting out, it was recovered from a thawed-out bog northeast of Lake Kovd, and it required the help of a Voodoo Mastadon to pull it out.

The default 502 cubic inch diesel V8 was replaced by a 645ci alcohol-fueled V8 from a Monster Truck, except twin supercharged to boost the output to 2,265 horsepower with 1,500 lb-ft of torque. The default 47-inch mud tires were replaced with larger 49-inch studded tires.

The permanent all wheel drive and diff lock was maintained, though the default twelve-speed automatic transmission was replaced with a six-speed automatic with overdrive custom fabricated by M.R.A. engineers, and the final drive of a Lunar-Tec Sasquatch. Generally, it doesn't have a very high top speed, but it was built purely for heavy vehicular combat.

The interior of the tank was radically stripped to the point of having zero amenities, and only the dashboard, driver seat, and a five-point racing harness while the armor was retained, and reinforced with an extra layer of steel plates, while the independent suspension was swapped with double wishbone suspension on all eight wheels.

## Trivia

* It heavily resembles a GAZ-59037A, the civilian variant of the GAZ-BTR-80K.
Side Riders

*"Coming in hot are the side riders. They're dirt bikes with sidecars, which gives them an offensive advantage, meaning riders on other motorcycles can't punch their riders from the left side, which also gives the side riders' riders a disadvantage as well, meaning they can only punch from the right side, but can also ram from the left side, despite ramming on one of these doesn't make much of a difference, making it most useful to ram your adversaries into a static object.*

**Side Riders** are a vehicle class appearing in MotorStorm: Untamed Tundra, MotorStorm: Transylvania Unleashed  and MotorStorm: Off The Grid. The Mohawk Indiana, Mohawk Montana, Mohawk Roadhog and Mohawk 66 can be converted into Side Riders.

Super Buggies

*"If the regular Buggy just doesn't float your boat, try their sadistic and hot headed cousins, the Super Buggies. They are the only relatively strong open wheel vehicle class, that can easily duke it out with the Bruiser Weight vehicles, and handle the rougher terrain much better than a regular Buggy could ever dream of doing. These bad boys came straight from the Baja 1000 and were thrown into MotorStorm. It was a great decision indeed, as these beauties look and sound mean. However, they'd get quite pissed off at you, probably even attack you if you thought the Voodoo Iguana was one of them."*

**Super Buggies** are a vehicle class first appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*. These buggies have the power and the strength to duke it out with anything up to a Racing Truck. Hell, it could probably make a Racing Truck roll. Most of these vehicles are based off of professional racing buggies seen in the Baja 1000. The Jester Butane, Jester Super BXR, Jester BB-XS and Voodoo Rattler are reclassified as Super Buggies in *Return to the Wild.*

The Super Buggies are one of the very few classes that are not available by default, which means that the player is unable to use them until reaching 65% completion of the Festival.

The Midnight Nixon

*Ryo "The Midnight Nixon" Hisamatsu is quite the mysterious 'Stormer, rivalling the infamous ex-Brotherhood member Muerte in mysteriousness. He's actively running from law enforcement in Japan, England, and the U.S. for his reckless driving. Despite this, he isn't necessarily make him a bad guy. He'll openly help other 'Stormers to tune their cars, for a price. However, he prefers to keep his social life a secret from everybody, giving the more paranoid 'Stormers an idea that he might even be Muerte himself, but truthfully, they're entirely wrong.*

*"Another day, another race." - The Midnight Nixon*

**The Midnight Nixon** is a character appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*. He is generally known to drive more of the asphalt based vehicles, specifically mostly Tenrai vehicles that are painted in a matte black paintjob with gold wheels.

They can definitely hold their own against all of the other bruiser-weight vehicles, and seeing they're all naturally aspirated, the power is immediately given off the line. These guys symbolize elegance and performance, in the sense that they got the speed and luxuries of a Supercar, and the strength of a Muscle Car."*

RCI Super Cirrus

The **RCI Super Cirrus** is a fanonical Supercar appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*, created by The Cherrybomber.

## Details

RCI wasn't just known to be the world's finest racing replicar manufacturer, but only *very rarely*, would they make their own original vehicle.

Built as a collaboration with Advantage, most of the body was crafted by RCI, while the wheels, wheel arches and the general aerodynamics were worked out by Advantage. In a sense, to have one of these cars; one had to already have an Enthusia Sfidante on hand and 567,000 Euros in order to obtain a Super Cirrus.

When it came to the mechanical aspects, the car was powered by the raging 500 horsepower centrifugal supercharged 4.3L V8 that powered the Enthusia Sfidante, except producing 140 more horsepower with the addition of two turbochargers replacing the supercharger. At lower RPMs, the smaller turbo would spin while the bigger turbo remained idle, until about 4,000 RPM, where the smaller turbo would spool up the larger turbo, giving the driver one hell of a ride.

The car had a 50/50 brake bias, with all-wheel drive that had 40% power going to the front, and 60% power going to the rear, and producing 520 lb-ft of torque.

About 50 of these cars were produced, a majority of them being bought out by private collectors, and a few going to car museums, one in L.A. County, California, and one in Tochigi, Japan. A number of these vehicles did manage to get into the hands of the M.R.A., which implemented them for use in MotorStorm.

## Trivia

* The Super Cirrus is evidently based upon the New Stratos by MAT, except having the headlights of a Ferrari F50, and the taillights of a Nissan Skyline KDR30.
Voodoo Hoobastank

The **Voodoo Hoobastank** is a fanonical Muscle Car appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*.

## Details

The Hoobastank was manufactured by Voodoo as their answer to cars such as the Patriot Surger, seeing their Orbiter platform of cars was completely unsalvageable, seeing they had very little competitiveness against even Magnum's muscle cars. When designing the car, the chassis was a simple honeycomb monocoque, while the suspension was made from Voodoo's homegrown racing suspension.

The powerplant was a choice between an economical 3.8L V6, or a rowdy and throaty 5.7L V8. Upon the car's debut in 1969, it was proven to be massively popular, and was able to put up more than just a fight against the Patriot Surger and the Patriot V8 in California-style Trans-Am Racing. Seeing Voodoo was also a performance parts manufacturer since it was founded in 1961, it only allowed them to further tinker with the Hoobastank to make it progressively more and more powerful every year. In terms of suspension, the car had independent suspension on all four wheels.

Eventually, the upcoming oil crisis was inevitable, forcing Voodoo to stop limited production of the Hoobastank dead in its tracks, which eventually brought up the car's value amongst collectors.

However, in 2001, Tenrai took a jab at a potential collaboration on modifying the car with a limited run version of the Hoobastank. Voodoo immediately agreed on the collab, allowing Tenrai's performance tuning branch, known as *Tesmo*, to fit a specially modified twin turbo V6 from a Tenrai Xylem V that produced 450 brake horsepower. This special edition of the Hoobastank, known as the Hoobastank DFT proved to be *massively* sought after by professional drifting teams, despite only five were made. This also formed an alliance between Voodoo and Tenrai.

* The Hoobastank is evidently based upon a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS with a Yenko trim. However, the Hoobastank has the same front grille as an Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, and the taillights of a Kenmeri Nissan Skyline.
Pre-GWs

*Oh, yeah. The Pre-GWs. The GW in the name is short for "Great War", which is what they called World War I back in the day with no knowledge that there would be a second one. What we're referring to here are these old pre-WWI Grand Prix racers, and those things are even more ancient than the Cigar Racers. Authentic specimens are worth far too much money, but luckily, certain manufacturers have the resources and capacity to manufacture replicars of these ancient racers. They're heavy and all, but don't expect these cars to be as fast or take as much punishment as the Cigar Racers or even the more modern vehicles, but they do consistently make a statement.*

*"Here we are, doing what would considered to be a period correct tribute to the JGTC, back when it was real. Anyways, we got some good news, and we got some bad news. The good news is that you get to drive a GT500, meaning 500 horsepower, maximum performance. The bad news is that you're up against Turbine 962, and Proteus and both of them are driving GTOs. Choose your boosting patterns wisely, as Suzuka Circuit isn't too boost-friendly on the west side of the track. Also, do not under any circumstances try to cut the corners, as that's only gonna make you look like a big fat f^\*$\*@! wimpy poor sport who deserves a big fat wedgie.*

Voodoo Charcoal

The **Voodoo Charcoal** is a RoadSlayer created by JustAlex93.

## Details

The Charcoal was developed by Voodoo to compete in the 1970 racing season of the Can-Am Challenge. Created to present a form of the future that Voodoo hoped would one day become ubiquitous in all racing cars, the vehicle uses a revolutionary ground effect system.

The core of it is a pair of 17-inch fans at the rear, taken from a self-propelled howitzer, spun at 6,000 RPM by a 70 horsepower, 250cc two-stroke snowmobile engine fitted behind the rear wheels. The fans push out 9,650 cubic feet of air per minute, and combined with unbreakable polycarbonate skirts around the rear three-quarters of the car that moved up and down on a system of pulleys, cables, and machined arms bolted to the suspension system, adjustable rear flaps, and a radiator tunnel at the front, created a negative pressure vacuum that would glue the car to the road. Along with that, the skirts would nearly and constantly align with the road surface, and with the fans running, the car would hunker down by two inches.

A result of all this technical complexity was constant downforce, theoretically up to 2,200 lbs, at any speed through any corner. According to the car's development team at Voodoo, the car could go full throttle without wheelspin or uncontrollable oversteer.

The ground effect system is sound on paper, but in practice, the car suffered from reliability problems that it didn't really get to finish a race. Most notable of these problems is that the car kept pulling in dirt, which disrupted the cables and overheated the secondary engine that powered the fans.

Not only that, but since the fans suck in air from the bottom of the car and blew it out from the rear, it also blew out dirt and debris at anybody driving up behind the Charcoal. Those drivers who were on the business end of the fans, along with their respective teams, were not happy about this and raised up a stink with George Hill, who was the head of the Charcoal's development team, over this issue, or non-issue depending on one's perspective. He replied to the complainers, "*Well, why don't you pass us, then?*"

Added to the above and despite the reliability issues, the Charcoal's ground effect system not only presented a potentially unfair advantage, but also violated the FIA's rules at the time against active aerodynamics. In fact, the other teams participating in the Can-Am series at the time petitioned to the FIA to have the car outlawed, spearheaded by the Cougar team. Of course, the FIA banned the car, leaving a disgruntled George Hill to step out of Can-Am for good, that which is considered one of the factors that brought about the end of Can-Am.

*MORE TO BE ADDED*

## Trivia

* It is inspired by the Chaparral 2J, which is also known as the "Sucker Car".
Super 2000s

*"These are a sub-variation of Rally Car built for the FIA's Super 2000 powertrain specification, which is meant to let more companies and privateers race by making competitive cars less expensive. They're All-Wheel Drive, just like the regular Rally Cars. They all have the same 2 liter four-cylinder engines, but naturally aspirated, though the later models use smaller turbocharged 1.6 liter units. Also, they all use six-speed Radek gearboxes. They weigh less than regular Rally Cars, but have a lower top end speed. However, they do have higher acceleration and better maneuverability, having the tightest turning radius. A fair trade-off if you ask us! Plus, their hydroplaning ability is the absolute best among the car-based classes in the Festival."*

Springbok Kyalami HK

The **Springbok Kyalami HK** (HK = **H**euwel **K**lim, meaning "Hill Climb" in Afrikaans) is a Twist Raider created by JustAlex93.

## Details

This vehicle is a variant of the Springbok Kyalami sports car (a rebadged version of the Tenrai Kaiju for South Africa), developed at SRW (Springbok Racing Works) for use in the South African hillclimb racing scene.

With its massive carbon fiber wings at the front and rear and a frontal splitter, in addition to a striking black paintjob, the Kyalami HK makes quite a statement. It also features a 2,000 bhp racing engine, artificially lowered to 1,600 bhp for competition use.

Making its debut at the Simola Hillclimb, the Kyalami HK took the win, finishing 1st overall ***AND*** shattering the previous record time, at that! It gained the nickname of "Swart Dier", meaning "Black Beast" in Afrikaans.

The vehicle soon caught the eye of Mash, Ms. Austin, and the other Festival organizers, plus several interested 'Stormers. The organizers commissioned SRW to modify several unused spare Kyalamis that the Festival had on hand into Kyalami HKs.

## Trivia

* The Kyalami HK is based on the custom Nissan R35 GT-R prepared by Franco Scribante Racing in collaboration with Dodson Motorsport for hillclimb racing.
Rasputin Ply'nyy S2000

The **Rasputin Ply'nyy S2000** is a Super 2000 created by JustAlex93.

## Details

When the FIA announced the creation of the Super 2000 powertrain specification in 2005, several manufacturers got on board. One of them is Rasputin Motors. Collaborating with its Romanian branch, which dominated the Romanian rallying scene in the 1990s, they set out to develop a rally car for the new Super 2000 rallying formula.

The logical choice was to use their Ply'nyy, which launched in 2004 to an unexpected success due to its ease of repairs and affordable pricing, as the basis. They took a standard Ply'nyy and modified it with many parts from a French Super 1600 rally car that ran in the Junior WRC.

The 2.0L I-4 produced 270 horsepower going into all four wheels through a six-speed Radek sequential gearbox.

The Ply'nyy S2000 was put through its paces in a test drive in the French mountains on tight and twisty roads. It was driven by a veteran French rally driver, who had driven many WRC cars, including the Super 1600 rally car of the aforementioned model.

When Super 2000 was launched, it was off to the races for the Ply'nyy S2000, which had come to be a modest success in the Eastern European events.

## Trivia

* It is inspired by the Romanian Dacia Logan Super 2000 rally car, which in real life never got to go racing.
Upshift TV

***Upshift TV*** is a fanonical TV show created by JustAlex93.

It is a British factual motoring TV programme based on the magazine, *Upshift*. They get their viewers up to speed on the latest automotive info, with car reviews, secondhand bargains, and industry tidbits being the focus, with a bit of comedy mixed in.

It, and *Final Drive* compete with each other for ratings, though there are times when they collaborate with each other, especially when it came to MotorStorm.
Rasputin Alkonost-A

The **Rasputin Alkonost-A** (Cyrillic: **Распутин Алконост-А**) is a fanonical Rally Car created by The Cherrybomber. It is featured in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*.

## Details

When the Group A racing formula was established, Rasputin Motors' motorsports division got the idea to convert a number of their three-door Sirin hatchbacks into rally cars for competition, designated the Alkonost-A.

With an FWD drivetrain, a 1,288.5cc Inline-4 making 100 bhp at 7,200 rpm with a double carburettor, and a 900 kg weight rating, it was ready to take on the Group A/5 division. From 1986 to 1998, they were mostly used by private teams, without much success, whether placing low or getting DNF'd.

Rasputin had also developed two versions of the Alkonost-A for the Group A/6 class. The first version, with a newer 1,500cc engine making 120 to 130 bhp, was active from 1988 to 1991, after which they introduced the second version, which has a larger 1,580cc engine that is even more powerful at 135 to 141 bhp. The second version of the Alkonost-A/6 rally car was active until 2001, after which it was retired without much fanfare. The A/6 versions of the Alkonost-A did not fare much better than the older A/5 version.

Despite not having been as successful as certain other Group A rally cars, Mash did see potential in them. When the M.R.A. invited Rasputin Motors to participate in the Pandrosia MotorStorm Festival and they accepted, Mash bought up a number of unsold Alkonost-As and had the mechanics modify them to endure the fierce and gritty racing events of the Festival.

## Trivia

* It is visually inspired by Group A/5 and A/6 rally cars based on the Lada Samara, but with the headlights of a 1983 Citroen CX, and the taillights of a 1987 Fiat 126 hatchback.
Supercars

*"If it's just that lightning fast speed, blistering acceleration and punchy, responsive drift you crave, you're gonna want a Supercar. While they were quite slow in the Apocalypse Festival, the Supercars have been tuned to the nth degree to be able to duke it out with any road-based class. They've all got speed on their side, as well as desirable looks, but of course, they're not the most durable things around, and they're not all that hot on non-asphalt surfaces."*
**Supercars** are a canonical vehicle class appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild*, *MotorStorm: Muerte's Revenge* and *MotorStorm: Nevada Nitro*.

The Phantromedas

*The Feds on the French and U.S. mainland think that Pandrosia is completely empty. Well... they're not entirely wrong. Though, there are technically seven different cults on the island, and the most dominant one, which is the Phantromedas, are the most honest of them. They are also the biggest one, consisting of 2,500 members, plus an entire military force of 900 guerrilla soldiers. The guerillas openly claim they will attack the Feds and the cartel should they interfere with their worship. For one reason or another, though, they are quite friendly with us 'Stormers, and even want to participate in the MotorStorm Festival! We think they're cool, so we say "Let 'em ride with us!"*
*"They're definitely my family, and life would be meaningless without them." - Xaurkshaeyre*
**The Phantromedas** are a faction appearing in *MotorStorm: Return to the Wild* and *MotorStorm: Transylvania Unleashed*.

The're usually referred to as *The Cult* by the 'Stormers, despite that there are seven different cults on the island. However, The Phantromedas is the only cult that the player will interact with in the game. Xaurkshaeyre and Autumn Zephyra are both two prominent members of the cult, and are allies to the player throughout the game.

They are known to dislike most religions, besides Hinduism, Paganism, Rastafarianism and Buddhism, which both share similar concepts to their own religion. They also oppose Christianity, due to them seeing the Abrahamic God being a false deity compared to the gods that they themselves worship. This puts them at odds with Giles Cromey and his Bible-thumping lot.

They also are known to highly despise Gretchen Falkenberg, due to her questionable morals and equally questionable followers who in their eyes *seem to lack any sort of humane rationality.* This is to the point where Gretchen openly accuses them of things she can't even prove, seeing she's more emotion-based rather than fact-based. Her actions have even tempted the Phantromedas to reunite their Pandrosia and Fendrana chapters and counter-protest against her.

## Quotes about the Phantromedas

* *"Those Phantromedas seem like shady people, shouldn't they be attacking us for invading their island and destroying it?"* - Jennifer Mui
* *"They don't seem to mind at all that we're holding MotorStorm here on their island. I think those guys are fans of MotorStorm!"* -
RCI

**Repliche Corse Italiane SpA** (meaning "Italian Racing Replicas"), more commonly known as **RCI**, is a company created by JustAlex93.

They are comprised of a talented group of engineers, designers, machinists, mechanics and technicians. Their goal is to create the best quality replicars of historical racing vehicles that the world has ever seen. They are also known to make their own licensed modernizations of classic Italian sports cars.

After building and showcasing an exact replica of the Italia Cirrus Stradale from scratch and based on the original specifications that proved to be extremely close to an original Cirrus Stradale and of very high quality, the big Italian car manufacturers took notice.

They would contract RCI to manufacture and sell officially-licensed replicars of certain historical racing vehicles for retro racing competitions, such as the Italia Cirrus HF Group 5 silhouette racer.

Over time, other foreign companies would come to offer RCI licensing to make replicars of their own historical racing vehicles, like the Monarch GT101.

The organizers of the MotorStorm Festival had also taken notice of RCI, and would sometimes purchase replicars from them for use in the Festival's racing events.

Ryo Kyung-Su

**Ryo Kyung-Su** is a fanonical 'Stormer created by JustAlex93 for The Cherrybomber's fanon sequels.

## Description

   Kyung-Su comes from South Korea, and traveled to Pandrosia to participate in MotorStorm, having read online about the much-storied off-roading festival, and wanted to experience it for himself. He found the thrill of the race and the freedom of the festival to be intoxicating, and so stayed onboard to become a full-time 'Stormer. He prefers to drive a mix of vehicles from his native homeland and from Japan. He is also off-put by Jingo's attitude, moreso when the latter mistakes him as being a Japanese person. He is also bilingual, knowing both his native tongue and English.

*More to be added*

## Quotes

He can be interacted with at the Festival Site in On-Foot Mode.

### Pandrosia

* *"This is my first time in the MotorStorm Festival! I read stories online about it, and I wanted to experience it for myself."*
* *"I heard a rumor about a 'Stormer who warped in from the past during the 2012 Festival in Nevada in the U.S., and now I'm hearing about another time-warped 'Stormer, this time from World War II. 이 세계는 무엇으로 오고 있습니까?!"* (trans: "What is this world coming to?!")
* *"I don't like that Jingo. He acts very rudely towards that Barry guy for being German!"*
* *"You'd better be careful, this guy named Monjafetta is influencing some people to pull reckless stunts or play these juvenile pranks on others!"*
* *"Wh-Wh-What did you do that for?! 몬자페타에게 손을 대면 이런 종류의 행동을 조장하는 몬자페타를 억제할 것입니다!"* - After getting table topped by the player (trans: "I'm going to throttle Monjafetta for encouraging this kind of behavior when I get my hands on him!")
* *"**내 가랑이!** I'll get you for that!"* - After getting kicked in the groin by the player (trans: "**MY CROTCH!**")
* *"I hear that Shuriken is a mean one, especially if someone's foolish enough to call her a 'Karen'!"* - on Shuriken
* *"What did you call me?! I am NOT Japanese! I am Korean, you idiot! 그는 너무 무지하다!"* - After being mistakenly called a Japanese by Jingo (trans: "He's so ignorant!")
* *"Something about Queen B gives me a bad feeling..."*
* *"Is that Swedish environmental activist Gretchen Falkenberg I see protesting outside the boundaries of the festival site?"*
* *"인종차별적인 돼지야! How dare you call me that!"* - to Giles Cromey (trans: "You racist swine!")

### Fendrana

* *"My decision to stay with the Festival to become a full-time MotorStormer is not one I will ever regret!"*
* *"안 돼. Not those protestors again!"* (trans: "Oh, no.")
* *"What makes Giles Cromey think that God would forgive him for his conduct? 인종차별주의자!"* (trans: "Racist jerk!")
* *"I hope there would be a food stand someday in MotorStorm that serves traditional Korean food. I sure could go for some bulgogi right about now..."*
* *"Acting judgmental and basing everything on one's own emotions is not a good way to present an ecological message."* - Commenting on Gretchen Falkenberg's methods of protesting
Super Coupes

*"Because there's performance saloons, performance wagons and even performance hot hatches are able to compete in the Festival, why not add performance coupes as well?! While they don't have nearly the weight or durability as their four-door counterparts, they're generally better off the line and better at turning. If anything, when it comes to cruising on a Friday night with your drunk girlfriend, and the time feels right, a Super Coupe is the way to go."*

SuperMinis

*"They may be cute, but these little bastards looks will definitely decieve you. They all have turbocharged Inline Fours that produce 216 horsepower with permanent front wheel drive, meaning all the power goes to the front wheels. They may not be the fastest thing on the straights, but like their touring counterparts, they're nearly unbeatable in the turns, and are quite hard to hit with a bigger vehicle. Buuuut, all these pluses mean that they're not the best on rougher terrains, and if you do get hit by a bigger vehicle, it's gonna be a wild ride."*

RC Cars

*Sometime after the 2011 MotorStorm Festival, Mash, as the new head of the Festival, decided to host an RC car racing competition. It was held in several past locations where the Festival was previously held, even a certain city. The MotorStorm RC Festival, as it was referred to, was a smash hit with the kids and those who are kids at heart. It was decided that from then on, in addition to the usual down and dirty racing with the full-sized vehicles, that RC car racing tournaments would also be held at MotorStorm.*

**RC Cars** are small-scale radio-controlled vehicles first featured in *MotorStorm RC*.

They make a reappearance in playable form in *MotorStorm: King of the Hammers*.

They're an 1/8th the size of the full-scale vehicles driven in the Festival.
Thad Gordon

*Known for being one of the wealthiest Stormers in the Festival, Thad screams your stereotypical rich kid. He's also known for his annoying obsession towards a certain black video game console. You may not like his ballin' demeanor, but he will brutally kick your ass. Both on the track, and on arguments on the internet, as ballin' as he possibly can. He'll get a rise outta you, and then drag you downwards into a spiral of humiliation!*

*"I shine as brightly as my bling, but can really destroy y'all on the track!" - Thad Gordon*

**Thad Gordon** is an OC created by Bobbyiscooly.

He may be a rich dude, but his driving in the Festival's racing events is no joke. He is also known to be a notorious troll on the internet by even the other 'Stormers, as well as being an absolute fanboy towards a certain gaming console.

His vehicle and music choices are inspired by mid-2000s Gangsta "bling" culture.

## Vehicles

* Patriot Banger (main vehicle)
* Magnum Honkey
* Magnum Hustler
* Magnum Schanker
* Patriot Townie
* Magnum Kramer
* Patriot Wildtrek XR
* Tenrai ZR240
* Italia Torquemada
* Patriot Antelope
* Patriot Silverstein
* Patriot Warner

## Trivia

* Thad Gordon is based off the real-life YouTube celebrity and internet troll known as Chad Warden (real name: Anthony Pinto). His controversial reception and console fanboy-ism is a reference to his belief that the PlayStation 3, which most of the canonical *MotorStorm* games were released on, is the superior console.
* Thad Gordon's personal vehicle of choice is a black Patriot Banger. This is a reference to Chad Warden's personal Cadillac Escalade.
Sandrails

*"Don't let these vehicles fool you, they ain't dune buggies. They're sandrails, lightweight tube-framed vehicles with built-in rollcages made to go driving on sandy terrain, especially sand dunes. With their lower center of gravity, they can make tight turns on even the faces of sand dunes, plus their rear paddle tires allow them to skim over the sand without getting stuck in it. Combine these things with a mid-engined layout (on some models) and the fact that the chassis can weigh anywhere from 800 to 1,500 lbs (363 to 680 kg), it makes the sandrail a pretty sweet ride."*
*-Off the Grid description*
**Sandrails** are a DLC vehicle class created by JustAlex93 for *MotorStorm: Off The Grid*.

## Stats

Favors: Sand

* Special Characteristics: Low center of gravity, rear paddle tires allow for traveling on sand without getting stuck

StreetX

*"This challenge is surely for savages, in the sense that there's gonna be a ton of dirty driving, and sharp corners. To make things more interesting, we've disabled the boost, but offensive maneuvers are still allowed, despite you only get a limit of 5 rams per race. You're gonna have six other drivers either constantly on your tail, or trying to spin you out, so anger and assertiveness on the inside line are a must."*

**StreetX** is a series of Challenges appearing in MotorStorm: Return to the Wild, despite also appearing in the North American Dream Pack during The City part of the tour.

## Details

The races take place in three zones in Pandrosia. The first eight take place in the Port, the next eight take place in a parking structure in Pandrosia City, while another eight take place in an abandoned shopping mall, eight more take place in the industrial zone, and the last eight races taking place at the plant.

The player is restricted to using SuperMinis, and the handling file on the class is different in the sense that the vehicles are a lot more responsive, but will produce a lot more understeer at high speeds, and a lot of snap oversteer at lower speeds. The cars are also a lot more prone to spinning out and produce a lot more wheel spin.

It is quite interesting to note that each race take place at night, while it is raining, which will hinder the SuperMinis handling.

It is also noted that the AI drivers in these challenges are much more aggressive than usual, much like the AI in the Original MotorStorm's event, *Buggy Byway.* Most of the time, the AI drivers will often attempt to perform PIT maneuvers on the player and the other drivers, and will try to force the other vehicles into barriers, which will result in a wreck, which ultimately results in a DNF.

Lastly, the boost is disabled, giving the player a limit of five rams per race.
