An important part of any competition, especially one that depends on survival, is alliances. Survivor may have popularized this concept of staying loyal to someone… until the time comes to proverbially cut their throat. The Hunger Games took the throat-cutting literally, and now the idea of being loyal up to a point (a knife point, that is) is in every story.
The Scorpio Races is no different. An intense competition such as this one forces people to choose sides even though it's every man and woman for themselves in the end. Surprisingly, the races don't end up tearing most of these loyalties apart; instead they bring them closer together.
