Introduced to [[Kumauri]] a decade ago, sling racing has recently emerged into the [[Caraadian]] cultural mainstream with the influx of media attention and high-priced sponsorships. Sling racers are lightweight air vehicles (like [[Swoop Racing|swoops]]) that are speedily maneuvered through dangerous, narrow mountain canyons. The vehicles have [[Antigravs|antigrav]] drive units, but much of the vehicle's speed and maneuverability comes from the independently adjustable wings and airfoils, which catch the treacherous winds that whip through the canyons.

Piloting a sling racer is no easy task - each drive unit is individually throttled to control speed while acting as a crude maneuvering jet; a pro sling racer can have as many as six small drive units.
