By 2078, mankind's quest for industrial supremacy has permanently altered the earth's climate. CO2 emissions peaked in the '40s, and fossil fuel reserves ran out soon after.
The effects were disastrous. The only global constant is the wind, whose velocity has increased to previously unimaginable speeds. Mankind has adapted to these changes like only mankind can. Wind is now the main source of energy, and people have created new means of transport - advanced wind-propelled vehicles driven forward by the relentless gales. Twenty years ago a new sport emerged, blending spectacular action with spellbinding speed and breathtaking skill. The International Racing League is now the ultimate in competition, watched by millions across the globe.
