Hey, Racers!

Spooky month is here which means it is time to decorate, dress up, and eat some candy! We take the celebration of Halloween a million miles away from Earth and incorporate it into Desert Child! Load up Desert Child in October to see the spooky decorations that the residences have put up!

Make sure to keep your eyes on the road when driving your hoverbike and good luck on your next race!

Hey, Racers!

Just because we're not on Earth anymore doesn't mean we don't celebrate All Hallow's Eve! Everyone enjoys a good pumpkin, even if it's gotta be grown in red sand under a sun 150 million miles away. Load up Desert Child and take a look at the spooky decorations hidden all across Olympia.

As always, I wish you the best of luck in the Grand Prix!
