    Looks like a hovering blender. What could go wrong?

    Wonder how good the "forcefields" are if the collision is immediate and at high speed.

    Car - a four-wheeled road vehicle that is powered by an engine and is able to carry a small number of people.

    Airspeeder Mk3 - Erm, not a car

    Me too, i think i was at 80 KG for a day as i rapidly went from 75KG to 120 in a matter of a few months.
    I was well into the 30ties before i was steady over 65 KG, when i hit 40 i was around 70 KG, then my back went out - my shoulders went out, and as you all know my brain went out, and then BAM !!!! here is 40 - 45 KG more to carry around.

    I can see this as a sprint event with 1 "thing" at a time, no way in hell will 5 - 7 of these racing at the same time be any good.

    Yeah, I was comfortably (as in comfortable to sit on) over 100 at one point, but then dropped down into the mid/high 70's, lost a good few inches off of my waist, then did my back in, just muscle pull, but then the NHS physio twisted me and I cracked from neck to arse and now have a dodgy disc, I'm low 90's now and if I get much over that then I start to get back pain...

    As much as I'd like to have a play in one, I think I'm physically past it now lol

    Considering I'm ~90KG, and my non-flying car can cope happily with my weight, I think I'll stick to the ground versions.
