Description

Sunrue-Lonne's racer in the 2040 Grand Prix didn't do so hot, placing in the upper middle of the pack, and a lack of funding prevented them from developing a new ship for the 2021 season, leading to them losing even more positions.

Raprez Sunrue and Solstin Lonne knew they needed a new, much faster design, and immediately began seeking out additional funders. They found a couple, the main one of note being the Drantaline Company; who had attempted to compete back in 2040 but mechanical issues with their racer prevented it from competing; and they decided to not compete again themselves.

Despite no longer being a competitor, they were willing to fund another, in this case Sunrue-Lonne, with the requirement that their new DRL-12 "Flare" engines get used in the new racer.

Sunrue and Lonne modified the engines, producing the DRL-12SL, and developing a seperate piece of supercharging equipment for them, and built a starracer areound both pieces of equipment; sticking the supercharging equipment in a long nose. The end product is the SLR-3 Flareout.

The Flareout has raw engine power on it's side, but the compact "flare" engines and amount of supercharging leads to significant overheating issues, and a relatively heavy mass for it's size lead to reduced agility, overall making the ship a bit of a handful. Will Solstin Lonne be able to tame the beast or will Sunrue-Lonne continue to be a team confined to mediocrity?
