Bringing DEATHSPRINT 66 to Life

With DEATHSPRINT 66’s September 12th launch fast approaching; the Bachman Media Network would like to share more information on the tracks and mechanics of the gameshow.


When concepting DEATHSPRINT 66, the Bachman Media Network knew that three things were critical to its success – fast, thrilling racing, high stakes, and plenty of guts and gore.


They tasked the team at Sumo Newcastle to take on the former by building some of the most brutal and beautiful tracks for the Jockeys to race around. You can see their design philosophy here.

While Sumo Newcastle were busy with the design, it was up to the Bachman Media network to find the perfect locations to host them. With several cities around the world no longer inhabitable due to the recent, multi decade Climate War, it was a no brainer - cheap real estate, and a large amount of space to host the races.


With that part of the puzzle out of the way, it was onto the main problem – how to deliver high stakes, guts and gore, without putting the Jockeys in danger. Learning from their previous show and other ventures by the Bachman corporation, the way forward was obvious. Stem-Link and Clones.






Stem-Link is the birthchild of Braylon Bachman. Originally created in times of war, humans can connect with a host, traditionally a robot, using Augmented Reality Headsets and control their movements.


After the war, the Bachman Media Network combined the Stem-Link technology with mass-scale medical cloning to create lifelike human clones for Jockeys to control.


Each hit is ‘felt’ by the Jockeys. Every death is a heart pounding moment. With 200% more blood, guts, and gore than their human counterparts, the Clones are expendable pieces of entertainment that Jockeys can connect to and from in a flash to continue racing.
