As the racers prepared their rides for the final moments before the race, Flame finished the touches on his own vehicle up in his space station and had it transported down to RPM. After about 20 minutes, a darkly colored squarish cargo spacecraft landed slowly in the area where all the racers had set up their pits. The cargo ramp on the back of the craft opened with a pneumatic hiss and touched ground.
2 young men in jumpsuits came out the back and helped bring a car out, leading it down from the sides. It was covered with a tightly wrapped blue tarp. From behind, holding the back of the car, emerged Flame, with a sports jacket on over a black race jumpsuit.
Once the car had been taken down the ramp, they removed the tarp. Under which there were what appeared to be black and yellow armor plates placed on certain angles, all around a harness fitted around the car. They removed these too, and then the car was fully visible.

It also looked padded and possibly armored. He got inside and revved the engine up. It reverberated powerfully and the lights lit up. He turned it back off, giving a thumbs up to his two man pit crew and saw back in the seat, drinking a drink he was given by one of them, waitng for the start of the race to be announced.
