Podracers were repulsorcraft used as racing vehicles.

Podracers were repulsorcraft that were built as racing vehicles. Capable of achieving speeds over 700 kilometers per hour, podracers were used in the similarly named sport of podracing. The P-100 pick-up droid was designed to retrieve valuable components from podracers that had crashed and then bring these pieces to the storage hold of a P-100 Salvage Droid. Podracers came in various shapes and sizes, although the general construction of a podracer was a one-man cockpit towed by two engines which were attached to the cockpit via two cables.
