If they're go-karts, expect a lot of Power Ups to be littering the course- if not, plain old Car Fu will be highly encouraged. If they're cars, expect them to have weapons and other modifications. In addition, the vehicles themselves are often specialized. Courses built around entire cities, courses with rollercoaster-like architecture, Courses floating in midair, courses existing only in an alternate racing dimension, and courses in locations where it's generally not safe to be standing, let alone racing, are common. The race often has rules more akin to a Demolition Derby than a normal race, and often takes place on an improbable course. The result is a Wacky Race, a race so improbable, so outrageous, so dangerous, that it makes Pikes Peak look like a Sunday drive. Because of this, writers tend to spice things up a bit. However, there is also the fact that in real life, except for off-road rallies and endurance races, most races simply involve going from point A to point B, or driving in a circle for 500 or so laps. Things have gotten better, but it is still a potentially deadly sport truly only kept in the reigns of safety by the skill of the drivers. In Real Life, the racing of any kind of vehicle is very dangerous, and many people have died or suffered serious injury while doing so. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.
