Octan Racer
Octan Energy's entry into the Wipeout series of races was a fast and feisty handful for its pilots. Built for speed, it was equipped with two massive engines from Whatt & Pritney. Much of the underside of its nose was given to heat exchanger pipes. This cooling array boosted the power of the engines considerably. If the designers had paid as much attention to the steering it might have been a successful racer.
"Looks like a fish, moves like a fish, steers like a cow."
+++++++++++++++++++++++
This ship was inspired by images that I've seen of the Wipeout computer games. I've never played them, so I might have got some wrong ideas!
