Description

Saturnus racer models have been the ride of the winners of the past eight Grande Circuits, including Rhiannon Powers’ record breaking win in 3064 where she set a benchmark of sixteen hours, twenty minutes on the three-thousand-kilometer course. Powered by a Sprague & Charles 950 gas turbine engine, the current model of this durable design can achieve speeds close to 230kph on the Skyway leg of the Circuit. Because of the tremendous speeds and some of the treacherous terrain that the Circuit covers, each vehicle involved in the Grande Circuit is required to have an ejector system as an added safety precaution, along with a reinforced body and crash panels. The Saturnus V series uses the same sensor circuitry and bio-monitoring suites in its ejection seats that are used in Earthwerks Ltd.’s ‘Mech cockpits. [1]
