    -Created from scratch within 7 months as a passion project by Burnston Burns, an eccentric English entrepreneur known for his Four-Ize digital spectacles company, Icaras entered into the F7200 League with a very unique approach to AG racing. Their SunGod XVi chassis prioritized top-end speed above all else, and this meant poor agility, very poor acceleration. However, unlike the power-hungry speedsters of previous leagues, this ship also had poor durability. Their first two seasons were disastrous, failing to finish a single race. Humorously, the team complained that this was due to the state of the tracks, and celebrated even finishing a race as if it was a victory. After 30 years of racing as a fan favourite underdog story, the Icaras team closed following the death of Burnston.+Created from scratch within 7 months as a passion project by Burnston Burns, an eccentric English entrepreneur known for his Four-Ize digital spectacles company, Icaras entered into the F7200 League with a very unique approach to AG racing.

     Their return with the announcement of the FX300 League was a surprise to many. With Connor Burns as Team Director, a relative of Burnston, their approach to vehicle design became much more practical and afforded them much more success through to the FX400. Even with a modest privately funded budget compared to the international corporate titans, they developed the lightly-armoured successor to the SunGod to be far more agile and quick-launching without lacking for speed, which gave them much cause to boast and measure themselves against this generation of Piranha ships. Their return with the announcement of the FX300 League was a surprise to many.
