During the Bungie Pentathlon, Daniel Auchenpaugh competed to win a Shrike racing game.
Meanwhile, a cooperative mission was being perverted to suit the cause of a race. Some would call this a speed run. We called it a test of combat efficiency.
Another humid day on Venus. The sulfur pools before me, my hands rest in my lap. The Judge begins the countdown: “3… 2… 1… GO!” Fireteams begin the race to be the fastest Strike team in the land. My Middle School compatriots and I race across the planet on our Shrikes. Our jumps are perfectly timed. The beautiful space magic of a Hunter, Warlock, and Titan working together in harmony destroys all that oppose us. I call out checkpoints to my team and hear mutters of disbelief from my competitors. Team Middle School has already won the first two heats; it is just up to my team to seal our victory. The crack of sniper shots echoes in my ears as we complete the mission. Cheers erupt in the room as multiple souls mutter “WTF?” Victory for Middle School, and it wasn’t even close.

What are your thoughts on the races? Would this be something you would like to play in the world of Destiny?
