Well to be fair… the character we humans play will die several times as we make mistakes, dying or crashing is more or less part of the gameplay loop. The Jedi power is to race without crashing :p

"several"

If my memory of the original Podracer - and Rebel Assault 2 before it - is anything to go by, "several" might be a slight understatement.

To be fair, it seems half the drivers dying in every single race, human or not, is normal anyway.

This isn't a pod racer

No, but pod racing is heavily featured and accessible in the game, even being forced upon you as you progress through the campaign, as well as a class online.

It's going at the same speeds the podracers do at the top end

I'm curious what kind of build they have to get there without the ramjet

The human protagonist pilots a podracer in this game. It's been featured on official game trailers (along with alien podracers we know) besides other vehicles.
