Podrace is a high-speed racing event featured in the Star Wars universe, primarily known from the film "The Phantom Menace." It involves specially designed vehicles called podracers, which are powered by large engines and can reach incredible speeds. The races take place on various planets, often in dangerous environments, and attract numerous spectators. Competitors, known as podracers, pilot their vehicles through challenging courses filled with obstacles. The races require skill, precision, and quick reflexes, as the pilots navigate tight turns and avoid collisions. Anakin Skywalker, a young slave from Tatooine, famously participated in a podrace that changed the course of his life.
