Revision 1

Repulsorcraft are the vehicles you race in Star Wars: Galactic Racer. There are four classes, and each one flies differently on purpose, so picking a class is a real choice about how you want to play rather than a skin swap. On top of the class differences sits a deep customization system, which means two pilots in the same class can still end up with very different machines.

The four classes

The four confirmed classes are Landspeeders, Speeder Bikes, Skim Speeders, and Podracers. One of them, the skim speeder, is a brand-new vehicle invented for this game and new to Star Wars canon. The others draw on vehicle types the franchise has used before, but their handling here is tuned for this game's racing.

Customization

You build a ride from over 300 parts, and the developers have described the number of possible combinations as being in the trillions. The system is deep enough that the same class can be pushed toward different races and different driving styles. Parts come from vendors, paid for with the run's persistent resource, and you fit them at the workshop the engineer Hibi keeps in each planet's paddock.

Upgrade stats

Between races you raise four base stats on a vehicle: Afterburner, Battery, Cornering, and Ramjet. Two of those, Afterburner and Ramjet, are also the game's boost components, so upgrading them changes how your boosts behave. The stats and the boosts are described in more detail on Gameplay and Controls.

Chassis traits

Each class carries a signature chassis trait that captures its strength: Drift for landspeeders, Kinetic Burst for speeder bikes, and Knife Edge for skim speeders. The trait reflects how the frame is meant to be flown, which is why the class you choose sets the tone for everything you build on top of it.

Choosing a class

There is no single best class, just different bets. A weighty drifting frame, a fast but twitchy bike, and a knife-edging skim speeder all reward different kinds of driving. The individual class pages, Landspeeders and Speeder Bikes, go further into each one's role, and the returning Podracers class has its own history in the franchise.
