Flight history

Forge is one of the original four flights. Notable racers in this flight (past or present) includes: Axxturrell, Destroyer Hammer, Hyper Hammer, Ashes, atrg, Last Week of Racing and others.

Forge's history became especially epic during the Hammer Cup III tournament. A new recruit called Ashes, who had just joined the team, proved to be a game-changer for the Red Flight. No one expected Forge to even get past the qualifiers. Not only did the flight qualify, but they also beat Maul in the semifinals in a very closely contested battle, which ended with a margin of 36 races in favor of Forge. Energized by this improbable victory, Forge took on the powerhouse Smite in the finals. Ashes did the impossible and completed 1000 races in a single day. This formidable feat was enough to beat Smite and their 946 races.

After Hammer Cup III, flights were reorganized. 3clipse left Thor's leadership to become the new Forge's leader.

Logo, name and symbolism

When we were searching for flight names, Forge is one that I immediately loved. As soon as it entered my mind I knew that it was a keeper! The decision to associate Forge with the red flight was obvious. The concept for the logo was also quite easy to find. A forge looks cool and there were no reason to not use one for the flight logo!
