All of the Other Reindeer: Ariel Piper is the first female racer ever to be accepted into the Race School, which was male-only until recently, and she's ostracized by most of the boys. Principal LeClerq even persuades some of the students to sabotage her equipment so she'll lose races and drop out of the School. | |

Bringing Running Shoes to a Car Chase: Xavier Xonora rams into Jason, causing both of their hover cars to crash 500 meters from the Finish Line. Jason is in a position where he can't easily get out of the cockpit, so he removes the steering wheel, gives it to the Bug, and has him run the rest of the way, since according to the rules of this race, the first car to get the steering wheel across the Line wins. When the Bug has almost made it, Xavier gets his car working again and races after him. The Bug dives across the Line, holding the steering wheel in his outstretched hands, and wins by less than a foot. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
| Hover Car Racer / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: Based on the lengths of the race courses we read about, Tasmania in that book is less than a quarter of the scale it is in real life (which would also explain how the entire island being bought by the International Race School would be plausible in any way). | |
