Yeah, I have no idea why they thought its top speed was 71 km/h. My tests have proven otherwise.

The Formula Star has far and away the highest [[top speed]] of all vehicles usable in [[Air Ride]] mode, with a maintainable top speed of about 71 km/h, and can only be outperformed in [[City Trial]] by the two [[Hydra|legendary]] [[Dragoon|machines]].  It also has decent [[HP]], [[offense]], and [[defense]], and average [[weight]].  However, all of its other attributes are abysmal.  Its [[turn]]ing and [[boost]] are the worst of all; because of this, this vehicle can rarely reach and maintain its top speed without crashing into a boundary or obstacle.
The Formula Star has the second-highest [[top speed]] of all vehicles usable in [[Air Ride]] mode, with a maintainable top speed in the mid-forties of km/h.  It can only be outperformed by the [[Bulk Star]], however, the Bulk Star cannot maintain its top speed even in [[Drag Race]], as it constantly needs to slow down and re-fuel by [[charge|charging]].  However, both of the two [[Hydra|legendary]] [[Dragoon|machines]] in [[City Trial]] can vastly outperform both its and the Bulk Star's top speeds.


These factors render the Formula Star unsuitable for most tracks in [[Air Ride]] mode; it even has difficulty on the relatively straight course that is [[Nebula Belt]].  In [[City Trial]], however, it can be a fearsome contender if the rider holds enough [[turn]] and [[boost]] [[patch]]es to make up for the machine's flaws, and it is almost always a top contender in [[Drag Race]] [[Stadium]]s regardless of patches.
It also has decent [[HP]], [[offense]], and [[defense]], and average [[weight]].  However, all of its other attributes are abysmal.  Its [[turn]]ing and [[charge|acceleration]] are the terrible; because of this, this vehicle can rarely reach and maintain its top speed without crashing into a boundary or obstacle.  On top of that, it is absolutely the worst [[glide]]r in the entire game, in terms of both flight distance and jump height.
