Ship Showdown Top 16 Free Fly

** Take the Top 16 vehicles for a spin until August 22 in the Ship Showdown Free Fly**

C1 vs MSR - Sibling Scuffle | Ship Showdown Phase 2

The Autumn Wind is a Freighter

And away we go! As the first official bell of this year’s tourney rings loud and true across the ‘verse, fans of heavy haulers and crafty couriers are drooling over this explosive opening bout. Your favorite freighters are fighting it out for the rights to ferry their fans further into the fray, while cementing their legacy as the last word in getting stuff from point A to point B. What’s more, we have two ships from the Crusader camp engaging in some friendly fire and perhaps igniting a lasting not-so-friendly rivalry. Will the upstart C1 carry the Crusader torch all the way to the finish line? Or will the tournament stalwart Mercury finally take one all the way? Your votes decide.

890Jump vs 600i Explorer - Points of Origin | Ship Showdown Phase 2

Terrapin vs Gladiator - Underdog Division | Ship Showdown Phase 2

Cult Clash-ic

It’s the battle of misfit ships as two of Anvil’s more niche offerings square up and face off for what promises to be an unorthodox battle (to say the least). The beefy Terrapin scout ship is perhaps surprisingly no stranger to the tourney, having gone as far as the quarter-finals in last year’s event. Up against it is the generally elusive Gladiator, making its first ever trip to the big dance, with visions of a major upset waltzing in its seldom-seen head. Will this match be the beginning of a Cinderella story that will be talked about for years to come? Your votes will help decide.
