    One could use, if available, the board from the game Demon's Run
by Yaquinto.  It has all kinds of nice nebula, hazards, etc.  Another
alternative is Triplantary's board which has planets and asteriods.
Of course each of these games has it's own racing rules, in fact Demon's
Run is only about racing.  For Full Thrust Formula One, just ignore the
hexes on the boards.
