Deja vu (Destiny)

My guess is Sparrows will never get much / any faster than they are now. We're already near the point that the fastest ones like Timebreaker or an Xur upgraded rare can cross through many of the transition areas to force a game pausing Loading message. I also vaguely remember hearing that crossing through a transition zone too fast will cancel the matchmaking process and have you entering an empty zone.

I knew that thought sounded familiar :)

Maybe if they can speed up net code and loading, then we'll see faster sparrows. For the racing, I suspect having a race limited to 6 players and a narrow path means they can load the entire thing into memory, or at least swap it out rather consistently since player progression is predictable.
