Mars Guo's Podracer was a Podracer used by Mars Guo prior to the Invasion of Naboo.
Characteristics
The Podracer, one of the largest known, had nonetheless excellent turning as well as impressive speed acceleration and cooling, thanks to its massive intake turbines, which made it one of the best Podracers in terms of performance.
History
Mars Guo utilized a Plug-2 Behemoth engine during the Boonta Eve Classic won by Anakin Skywalker. The cooling turbines almost proved to be fatal for Mars Guo during the Boonta Eve race. The cheating Sebulba tossed a piece of iron into Guo's port turbine, and the entire engine turned into a flying inferno that snagged one of Anakin's steelton cables, almost costing him the race. The vehicle crashed in the desert, but, though he was presumed dead, Guo was found alive.
