The Tracks
The 10 race courses of the Ehzedar Circuit and the Ghan Championship Circuit take place on the planets listed below. There are race course circuits, however they aren't finalized.
Ghan Championship Circuit
The Ghan Championship is a completely different race from the Galactic Grand Prix. Any participant in the Galactic Grand Prix must have at least once, won a solar championship sometime in their career. The Ghan Championship is just that. The race takes place on the planet Ghan, of the Ida System, and race spans across two cities, Xerxes and Kayata. The race starts in the one of the cities main avenues, continues onto a freeway, across a notorious bridge, and the interior of a museum.
This “city-planet” was originally dotted with several small islands. The Kazuzin Empire colonized it since it was to be a “pit-stop planet” to and from their more remote colonies, however they quickly ran out of space as the trade increased, so they built artificial land out of metal extruding from the islands forming massive continents which eventually had cities built over them. The project took 40 years to complete, but it was worth it. This heavily populated planet consisting of skyscraper metropolises is the location of the 2072 Ghan Championship. This planet, in nature, resembles Coruscant, with oceans, from the Star Wars Universe. At this point in development there are no screenshots or additional art available.

Ehzedar Circuit
The Ehzedar Circuit or Galactic Grand Prix is a collection of race courses on planets around the galaxy. There are 10 race course expanding 9 different planets. The event is the result of a government request to have the multi-trillion dollar company, Ehzedar Inustries (EI for short) to split or be divided somehow. Duran Ehzedar, the president and CEO of the company decided to host a Galactic Grand Prix, the winner will obtain 30% of the company. There will only be 14 professional contestants admitted into the race. The events will ensue in the summer of 2073.
Earth (Rio) - Sol System
The first race of the Ehzedar Circuit takes place in the Earth city, Rio de Janeiro. The city is the first to implement space tether (2034) technology, boosting the population and desirability. San Francisco and Tokyo followed soon after. Today the planet's many metropolises have built-in space elevators. The race line runs through the downtown area, beaches, favelas (technology updated, however they are still called that because of their appearance, and city center.
Earth is the human homeworld, and the former capital of the GUG (Galactic Unified Government). The planet has various biomes ranging from deserts to icy wastelands and jungles. The humans have fought several smaller wars and three massive wars all concerned about power and rule over inferior nations (in some cases superior empires). Eventually they realized that they needed to work together in order to advance. Some still don’t agree with such philosophy and cause problems to this day. The planet currently holds a 17 billion+ population making it the third most populous GUG planet. This planet is also home to several other species as of 2073.

Ravar (Quezar Outskirts) - Nimara System
The second race of the Ehzedar Circuit takes place on the outskirts of Quezar, the Ravarian capital city. The area includes a massive open desert, canyons, and caves. A complex, in order for spectators to view the race conveniently, was built around the finish line. The race course had to be as removable as possible in order to preserve the Ravarian outback, as a result the course doesn't look that great.
Ravar’s primary biome is desert and it’s surface temperature reaches 140º Fahrenheit, which is perfectly normal for Ravari, however other life has to adapt to the heat in order to dwell there. The planet is dotted with strangely shaped organic structures, and craters. The planet is the second from the massive Nimara red-giant which has remained stable for millenia. Some conspiracy theorists believe the star may go into supernova within the next hundred years; or that a nearby planet, Hiro, will collide with Ravar wreaking havoc. It is the home planet to the highly advanced Ravari Tribe who were recently oprressed by dictator. The planet has a 6 billion population as of 2073.

Adok (Ordel) - Garan System
Adok, a immense gas giant, is the location of the third race of the Ehzedar Circuit, however participants won't be racing on the surface. Instead they will be racing in the stratosphere, in the notorious "floating city" Ordel. The surface of the planet is a dangerous, radioactive wasteland. The track spans almost the entire city's radius with exception of the northwest and southeast sections. It also runs through the maintenance sections of the city. If the mag-lev super-conductors keeping the city airborne were to ever fail, the city would fall out of the sky.
Adok has a dark past, the planet was once beautiful, filled with plenty vegetation. In fact, it mainly consisted of meadows, forests, and fertile plains. However disaster struck and the planet was transformed into a desolate wasteland, unsuitable for any life.

Infiné (Lesawa Resort) - Varon System
Infiné, an Earth-like world, is the location of the fourth race of the Ehzedar Circuit. Infiné was one of two races not sponsored by Ehzedar Industries, Solstice Corporation took care of the finances instead. The race course is set around a resort, now with added structures in order to accommodate the spectators space. The area consists of a flattened area resting in some coastal mountains. There are mountains to the north, south, and west and oceans to the east. The racing line runs around a lake, through a tunnel, along the coastline, through some mountains, and over a few short bridges along the way. The area is filled with Earth flora and greenery. Although the planet is an official Gemakan Colony, many human Italians have settled there which influences most of the culture there.
Talos (Talonian Wilderness) - Duran System
Talos, a heavily mined frozen desert, is Ehzedar Industries "money-making machine". Ehzedar Industries discovered massive karzite and verzodium (minerals that EI uses in their weaponry) deposits on the planet, now all of the resources are almost depleted. The planet, viewed from space, appears to have had collided with another planet at some point in time. Almost one-fourth of the planet had been mined away, there are megastructures extruding from the mined areas, serving as elevators and docking stations. The planet is desolate, it's permanent population barely reaches a thousand. The race on Talos is not actually a closed loop, instead it is a 10km long stretch of road across icy plains, such races are called "stretches". A few complexes were built in order to house spectators, other than that area is completely empty. However the icy surface causes traction problems for the wheeled vehicles and the airborne vehicle's thrusters won't function properly due to extremely low temperatures.
Danrati (Danrati) - Danrati System
Danrati is the sixth planet involved in the Ehzedar Circuit. The home-planet of the Danratian Empire is highly populated and filled with “stalactite” cities (cities hanging from an extruding natural platform). The capital city, Danrati, happens to be a stalactite city and also happens to be the location of the Danrati Circuit. The Danratian Empire took care of the construction and cost for the race course to be constructed. The race course runs through the downtown area, cavern sections, municipal district, and monorail shafts (of course there are no trains running through them). The planet's surface consists of three main biomes: desert, mountain, and plateau; the planet also consist of one massive ocean and one massive continent (much like Pangea on Earth).
Jovian (Jovian Desert Plains) - Turi System
The Jovians are a subterranean dwelling species, well on their home "planet" at least. Jovian, in fact, isn't a planet at all, instead it is a large moon of the gas giant, Shara. The surface is unsafe due to massive sandstorms and relatively recently, an infectious parasite was spreading up there. However, you will be racing both on and below the Jovian surface in a stretch race spanning exactly 10km's. The track runs through the following areas: open dunes; along a cliff; and down a mesa-like structure into the settled, underground areas where the finish line is located. Weather reports claim that the planet's surface will be safe on the night of the event. However as the actual date nears, they aren't so sure about their claim anymore. Nonetheless the race will carry on.
Sierra (Atria) - Procyon Binary System
Sierra is the location of the eighth race of the Ehzedar Circuit. The race course actually runs through and around several extinct volcanoes. The race track is suspended in the air, only to be supported by beams extruding from the volcanoes.
Sierra is a reminder/memorial of the USG Sierra which crash-landed on the planet after losing power. The case remained a mystery for several years. Many cities on the planet are named after the deceased passengers. The planet is covered in snow-capped mountains, due to a massive earthquake which “squeezed” tectonic plates together creating mountain ranges all over the planet. In addition, the earthquake caused volcanic eruptions, the magma soon hardened and more mountains were formed. The volcanoes have been reported extinct and the planet is safe to live on. There are practically no deep valleys, only short declines leading to another incline. The planet’s beautiful scenery attracts tourists and the fact that it snows indefinitely, several ski resorts are present.The small planet is home to 730 million inhabitants.

Mutax (Petago) - Delta Vega System
Mutax is the location of the ninth race of the Ehzedar Circuit, it is also the last planet involved in the Galactic Grand Prix. The race course is set in a dense, thick jungle pitted unknown hazards. The racing line runs through the jungles, inside of an active volcano, under the surface of a lake, and a few other caves along the way. The reason for its discovery is for solving the Sierra Disaster Mystery. A metal, Pertramium, was discovered on the planet. The metal emits electromagnetic pulses, powered by the core of the planet. The pulses outed the Sierra causing it to crash on Sierra. The metal was mined and excavated, Ehzedar Industries took possession of the mineral and used it to create EMP devices to be used in warfare. The planet is covered in thick, vast jungles and small deserts. People often go on vacations on the planet due to its nice weather and natural beauty. The planet is home to over 2 billion.
Earth (Cairo) - Sol System
The last and final race of the Ehzedar Circuit takes place on Earth, in Cairo. Ehzedar Industries headquarters is located in Cairo. The beautiful city is dotted with skyscrapers and records as the largest city on Earth. The race runs through the city, into the Saharan desert, and runs around the Great Pyramids and Sphinx. This race courses is the largest race of the prix, save the stretch races. At the time of this writing, there is no Cairo race course imagery available.
