There's a new game mode in town for guardians to battle it out on and it doesn't involve super abilities or guns. The Sparrow Racing League as their calling it, is Destiny's first foray into a real vehicular focused mode and it actually looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Here's the official description of the Sparrow League:

The Sparrow Racing League will welcome competitors to participate in a six-player free-for-all death race through enemy territory. After the update goes live on December 8th, visit Amanda Holliday in the Tower. She’ll be your Quartermaster for the event. Grab and quest and some bounties. Then, take your mark on the starting line. You might also check in with Tess. Eververse Trading will have some flair to make the event a little more fun, and a little more stylish.

The entire event runs for 3 weeks, ending on December 29th, but be can only assume that it will be back in future iterations. Destiny has been facing some pretty tough competition this fall int he form of Fallout 4, Black Ops 3, and of course Halo 5, so anything new they can add to the game will go a long way in snatching some of those guardians back into the fold.
