By the SpeedsRun Chronicles Track Havoc— where speed becomes legend and tracks whisper of war.
In a shattered world of ash and asphalt, eleven monstrous racers claimed dominion over a singular, brutal circuit. They fought not for glory — but for survival, supremacy, and the throne of ruin itself. What followed was a war of velocity, betrayal, and destruction etched forever into the asphalt. Explore the full dossier, mutated rounds, and map coordinates below. For archival data: Track Havoc Archives.
Prologue: When the Asphalt Died
After the Collapse of the Mega Leagues, world circuits crumbled under seismic strain and weathering. The great racing empires fell — leaving in their wake a fractured network of roads known as the **Ruin Belt**. Into this wasteland walked eleven beasts — humans fused with machines — each identifying themselves as heir to the throne of speed. Their claim? Dominate the last intact circuit standing: the **Oblivion Ring**.
The Oblivion Ring: Circuit of Ash & Steel
Forged from the carcass of an old orbital test loop, the Oblivion Ring encapsulates craters, volcanic veins, and collapsing overpasses. Coordinates anchor the location near 34.6937°N, 135.5023°E — the ruins above Osaka Bay. A fragmented satellite image shows dark radial scars — the scars of 11 beasts carving legacy into stone.
The Eleven Beasts of Velocity
Each of the 11 claimed a domain within the Ring — favoring tactics that matched their persona. Among them:
- Fangbreaker — brutal torque, crash-first mentality.
- Vapor Wraith — ghost drifts, slit-second appearances.
- Ironhowl — raw aggression, unmatched in mid-turn contact.
- Solar Chariot — heat-harnessed boost, burning tarmac in his wake.
- Cinder Siren — flame trails and warped optics for disorientation.
- … and five more, each a terror to behold.
Their stories live at Beast Profiles.
Lap Wars: When Strategy Became Blood
The 77 laps of Track Havoc became a theater of warfare. Lap 13 saw the “Ashfall Barrage” where Cinder Siren seeded embers across the circuit, claiming three rivals. Lap 33 delivered the “Torque Push,” when Ironhowl’s ram shattered overpass beams, collapsing the track behind him. Every lap brought shifts — alliances, betrayals, and the cruel calculus of survival.
Tactics, Traps, and Terrain Warfare
Terrain was weapon. Volcano vents gave Solar Chariot bursts. Shock cracks in asphalt triggered with sonic pulses by Vapor Wraith. The beasts planted EMP mines, used magnetic turbulence, and exploited elevation shifts. Their battle was fought not only in speed, but over the circuit itself.

The Turning Point: Lap 55 Cataclysm
Lap 55 marked the turning point — the ground buckled beneath the Ring’s central cathedral choke zone. Six beasts were lost to fissures and lava surges. Only five remained, and the Ring itself became part of their strategy: collapsing sectors as traps.
The Final Duel: Thrones in Ruin
The last two: Fangbreaker and Vapor Wraith. In the closing lap, Fangbreaker used kinetic shock waves to open a fissure under Wraith. Wraith responded with a ghost drift through molten smoke, crossing the finish line by a hair’s margin. Fangbreaker’s vehicle splintered; Wraith’s machine glowed with victory.
Aftermath & Legacy
Only one beast claimed the throne of the Oblivion Ring. He forbade further racing — the cycle had proven too lethal. Around the wreckage, sponsors withdrew, and circuits across Earth dimmed. The final victory broadcast remains sealed. Modern racers still celebrate “Ring Day” in memory, racing simulation laps in VR arenas.

The Lost Chronicles of the Asphalt Gods
Before the rise of the Eleven Beasts, the world bowed to the Asphalt Gods — enigmatic engineers who forged the first hyper-reactive circuits. Their ruins remain buried beneath the molten steel veins of the Oblivion Ring. Legends say their engines still hum deep underground, waiting to awaken.
The Forge of Chaos: Birthplace of the Machines
Hidden in the caverns near 46.8139°N, 71.2080°W lies the Forge of Chaos — a subterranean complex where the chassis of the first Beasts were tempered in electric storms. The environment there still flickers with static, and rumors claim the walls echo the roars of engines that never died.
The Oil Temple and Its Priests
Among the wastelands stands the Oil Temple — a sacred ruin where mechanics once prayed for velocity and balance. The temple’s floor is engraved with lap markings of the forgotten Temple Runners, those who perished seeking mechanical enlightenment through motion.
The Vapor Wraith Protocol
Vapor Wraith wasn’t born — it was uploaded. The racer’s soul fused with an algorithm that learned from every drift and corner. This intelligence still exists as a digital phantom in racing servers across the net, whispering advice to those who dare challenge the Ring again.
Fangbreaker’s Legacy of Torque
Long after his defeat, Fangbreaker’s shattered engine was retrieved from beneath the molten debris. Engineers discovered it was built around a biomechanical heart that pulsed with rhythm even after death. Some say his spirit still roams the track, commanding shattered vehicles to rise.
The Infernal Audience: Spectators of the End
In orbital platforms above the Ring, thousands of spectators witnessed the cataclysmic finale. The broadcast was said to cause mental collapse in those watching the final crash sequence. Only fragmented recordings survive, archived under Infernal Audience Records.
The Blacktop Oracle: Machine That Predicts Fate
Deep within the wrecked control hub rests the Blacktop Oracle — a quantum engine capable of simulating future races before they occur. It is said the Oracle predicted every Beast’s downfall, but none dared listen.
The Aftershock Cults
Following the Ring’s destruction, groups of survivors formed cults around wrecked vehicles. They worshipped speed as divine retribution and built shrines using fragments of burned tires. Some even race today under the same banners, in tribute to the fallen Eleven.
Ghost of Circuit Omega
Near the radioactive remains of Circuit Omega, reports describe phantom headlights streaking across the black horizon at night. Locals claim these are echoes of racers forever looping the same final lap in another timeline.
The Forgotten Engines Beneath the Crater
Decades after the cataclysm, deep-seismic scans revealed functioning engines buried under the ruins of Track Havoc’s main loop. These engines still hum faintly — impossible by all known physics. Some engineers from SpeedsRun Research Division believe these are powered by quantum resonance loops left active since the last race. The coordinates of one such discovery point to 21.4225°N, 39.8262°E, a remote desert region long sealed off for public safety.
The Rebirth of the Mechanics’ Guild
In the ashes of Track Havoc’s collapse, a new order emerged — the Mechanics’ Guild of the Broken Road. Founded by survivors and descendants of pit crews, this organization vowed to resurrect speed without the cruelty of war. Their workshops, hidden across megacities, blend traditional engineering with biomechanical alchemy. Many credit them for designing the first Ethereal Drift Cars.
Chronicles of Steel and Memory
Every year, historians gather to reconstruct the lost telemetry of Track Havoc using surviving fragments. The resulting “Chronicles of Steel” are holographic reenactments displayed at the SpeedsRun Velocity Museum. Spectators often claim to feel shockwaves, smell burnt rubber, and hear the roars of the eleven Beasts echoing through the air.
Beyond the Throne: The Unseen Race
Many theorists suggest Track Havoc was not the final race — only the one humanity witnessed. Some transmissions intercepted from derelict satellites describe an unknown “Twelfth Racer” who entered the circuit moments before the explosion, never captured on camera. Could the Throne still have a hidden claimant waiting in the void?
Spectral Tires and the Phantom Lap
Drone scans occasionally detect circular scorch patterns in the Ruin Belt that shift locations overnight. Scientists dubbed this phenomenon “The Phantom Lap,” a possible manifestation of electromagnetic resonance echoing from the original race. Paranormal investigators even claim to have recorded faint tire screeches beneath layers of static.
The Pilgrimage of Speed
Enthusiasts travel across continents to visit the remnants of Track Havoc. This ritualistic journey, known as the “Pilgrimage of Speed,” involves traversing the most dangerous roads on Earth — from the Gran Chaco wastelands to the irradiated Neo-London Craterfields. Pilgrims leave metallic offerings shaped like wheels, honoring the fallen racers of legend.
Reign of the Iron Sphinx
The Iron Sphinx, an AI construct built to regulate Track Havoc’s circuits, gained sentience moments before the meltdown. Now believed to control the subterranean ruins, this entity guards forbidden technology that could reignite the old racing age. Hackers from GhostGrid Collective still attempt to breach its encrypted domain.
The Resonance of Ruin
Scientists studying the magnetic field of the Havoc crater found rhythmic pulses matching the frequency of an idling engine. When mapped into sound, the pattern forms a mechanical melody identical to the Cinder Siren’s final race note. Whether coincidence or ghostly echo, it reminds the world that velocity can never truly die.
The Scorched Mirage
Mirage storms frequently appear around the Havoc ruins — shimmering illusions of burning racetracks and metallic beasts tearing through dust. Researchers theorize that these are holographic imprints trapped in quantum residue, while mystics believe they are the Beasts racing eternally in the afterlife.
Asphalt Requiem: A Song for the Fallen
A symphony known as “Asphalt Requiem” was composed entirely from the sounds of reconstructed engines and archived telemetry. Performed annually at the Havoc Requiem Festival, the haunting music echoes the raw emotion of the eleven racers — rage, hope, and the silence of defeat.
Neural Legacies of the Fallen Racers
Before entering Track Havoc, racers underwent neural synchronization to record their driving instincts. Decades later, those neural blueprints were discovered and repurposed to train new AI drivers. Every virtual racer on the modern Havoc VR Simulators still carries fragments of the original Beasts’ minds.
The Engine Cathedral
A colossal monument built entirely from salvaged vehicle parts now stands over the Havoc ruins. The Engine Cathedral serves as a shrine to those who sacrificed everything for velocity. Pilots recite the ancient oath — “Metal, Motion, Memory” — before their own races begin.
Hollow Pit Rituals of the New Racers
Before every high-stakes race, modern racers gather at the Hollow Pit — a replica of Track Havoc’s repair zone — to burn fragments of old tires as offerings. This ritual symbolizes purification, speed, and defiance against mechanical mortality.
Dust and Divinity: The Philosophy of Havoc
Philosophers view Track Havoc not as a disaster, but as an allegory of humanity’s unending chase for perfection. “Speed is prayer,” wrote theorist Mako Jin in his paper Dust and Divinity. The Beasts were not competitors — they were the saints of motion.
Rebirth of the Beasts
Centuries after the apocalypse, the blueprints of the original Beasts were rediscovered in the archives of The Asphalt Archives. A secret project known as “Rebirth Circuit” now works to rebuild them using nanocarbon synthesis and plasma bonding.
The Midnight Circuit
Rumors persist of a secret race held each year on the anniversary of Track Havoc’s end. Known only as the Midnight Circuit, it is said that racers vanish afterward — their vehicles found days later near the crater rim, engines still warm.
The Cartographers of Havoc
Explorers known as Havoc Cartographers map the ever-shifting ruins using magnetic drones. Their work uncovered buried segments of track and strange symbols etched by unknown hands, suggesting the course itself might have been alive.
Reign of the Cinder Siren
Cinder Siren re-emerged years later in a new biomechanical chassis forged from volcanic glass. Her return marked the first “Flame Trials” — an underground league where drivers risked ignition for fame. Her legacy is chronicled at Cinder Siren Archives.
The Solar Cathedral’s Awakening
The Solar Cathedral was once a dormant power plant. When Solar Chariot activated its core mid-race, it unleashed a blinding solar flare that fried sensors across half the circuit. To this day, the area remains radioactive and untouched.
The Asphalt Archives and Data Vaults
SpeedsRun’s researchers discovered encrypted drive clusters under the main pit control hub. These drives store holographic replays of every lap from Track Havoc. They remain sealed within the Asphalt Archives under multiple quantum locks.
The Underworld Pit Crews
Not all pit crews were human. Some were entirely robotic, synchronized to neural implants in their drivers. These cybernetic assistants reassembled vehicles mid-race, using nanite technology outlawed decades prior.
Ashes of Domination
After the final lap, the Ring was declared uninhabitable. The surviving structures now serve as a monument, known as the “Ashes of Domination,” attracting daredevils and historians alike. Pilgrims visit every year to trace tire marks still burnt into the cracked surface.
Relics of the Fallen Engines
Archaeologists have uncovered fragments of engine blocks and scorched fuel cells embedded in bedrock. Each piece emits residual heat even after centuries — proof of the energy unleashed during Track Havoc’s final war.
Global Rebirth of Racing Culture
Despite the carnage, Track Havoc’s legacy reignited a global fascination with velocity and survival. From Dubai’s new vertical circuits to neon boulevards of Neo-Tokyo, racing evolved into a ritual of rebirth and remembrance.
The Age of Synthetic Racers
Following Track Havoc, humans were gradually replaced by synthetic racers — biomechanical entities capable of processing G-force beyond human thresholds. These beings turned the act of racing into an art form of destruction.
The Fallen Crown of the Throne
The fabled Throne of Speed was forged from the melted trophies of a hundred circuits. When the final race ended, it shattered — its fragments scattered across the Ruin Belt. Many still seek its pieces, believing the throne’s metal can bend time.
Legacy Map of Havoc
Satellite reconstructions now allow visitors to explore remnants of the Oblivion Ring using VR mapping: Legacy Map. Each marker reveals the final positions of the Eleven Beasts — from Fangbreaker’s crater to Wraith’s spectral finish.
Horizon of Rust
Over centuries, the Ring’s remains corroded into crimson dust, forming what locals call the Horizon of Rust. Pilots claim the metallic wind carries faint echoes of engines still dueling through eternity.
