When you have to make a armor suit that will be used for racing got to start from somewhere. And that somewhere is from a movie, Maria right now is looking at a base for what will be changed around to a new Suit for her son Jo to use when he becomes a Racer, the general idea of making a Suit is to make sure it can withstand any or all damage that will happen when knocked off the Board.
