ENTRY NO.11 -> LEON

A hottie but he has a rep as something of a laughingstock. He’s a highly popular racer who can get through even the toughest situation with his well-timed sense of bluffing and running away. While he’s clearly talented, he’s made many of his rivals into his enemies, and he’s constantly bombarded with all sorts of hindrances and hazards. However, he hides the fact his beloved horse, Star, contains a Unity Of Rider And Horse Function. The supersonic “Star Leon” Mode Change makes even the most persistent assault no big deal. It only lasts for a short time, but it allows him to run at the speed of a comet.

ENTRY NO.108 -> NYTRO HEAD

A hero of the Fire Species “Nytron”, he’s a living legend who served as a general in their military. In order to fulfill his duty as general, which has been handed down from generation to generation, to “Prove He’s The Strongest”, he’s entered the Gold Pride Grand Prix. The tanks driven by the Nytron aren’t just tanks. Because what they fire is their own driver, who becomes a scorching hot cannonball!

The Winner of the Gold Pride Grand Prix gains riches and fame throughout the universe! However, the race’s dangers are also galactic class! During the race, anything goes! Attacks, interference, collusion, surprise attacks, betrayal, and even crank calls! It’s a crazy race, and if you enter it, your only guarantee is that you won’t come back in one piece!

ENTRY NO.332 ->CAPTAIN CARRIE

There’s not a being alive who doesn’t know of the Space Pirate “Captain Carrie”. However, in reality, she is the young lady of the “Mermaid Carrier Company”, the industry leader in intergalactic transport and shipment. If she wins the Gold Pride Grand Prix, other Space Pirates as well as the assassins from rival organizations will aim for her head to try and stop her influence from extending to the entire universe. However, she has her loyal minions (sic: aides) to help her. “We will protect the young lady’s life!” is their rallying cry. And their muscular bodies, which have been put through the wringer, show they’re men of the cosmic oceans on the inside and outside.

ENTRY NO.573 ->ROLLER BALLER

An experimental lifeform from a certain science-centric planet. The result of their research has pushed his telekinesis to the limit, resulting in a tragic psychic boy who has the power to endlessly draw objects in the surrounding area to him. He set out on a journey of self-discovery, carrying his grief inside him, and before he realized, he was competing in the Gold Pride Grand Prix. His excitement increases as he runs, as he grows to feel that this may be the way he wants to live, as he tries to catch up, accumulating the wreckage of those who have ‘dropped out’ of the race along the way.

ENTRY NO.999 ->ERADICATOR

The battle for the first station flag was fierce from the beginning. From behind the racers who reached that checkpoint, there was someone coming for them at a terrifying pace!

End of chapter

TL note: We have previously translated the reference art for Star Leon from a Twitter post.
“Golden Venus” is written as “goddess of gold”, force-read as “Golden Venus”. The Japanese name for the planet Venus (金星, kinsei) is written as “gold-planet”.
And yes, in the description for Roller Baller they make use of how the Japanese name for the theme is written as “GP” (force-read as “Gold Pride”), but force-reading “GP” as “Grand-Prix” instead.
