Landspeeders, Hibi & the Paddock

The first official vehicle deep dive for Star Wars Galactic Racer is about landspeeders. In “Under the Hood with Hibi - Episode 1: Landspeeders,” published on August 7, 2026, the team introduces Hibi, explains where she fits in the Paddock, and says the feature will cover landspeeder features, benefits, and build possibilities. This guide was checked on August 14, 2026.

Who is Hibi?

Hibi is described by the official post as an Ardennian automotive expert and Shade’s mechanic. She appears in the Paddock, the vehicle-focused space where the game can present its racing machines and preparation systems.

That is the confirmed character-and-location answer. The post does not publish a complete mechanic skill tree, a list of Hibi’s upgrades, or numeric vehicle stats.

What the official landspeeder post confirms

The announcement frames landspeeders around three useful search topics:

• Features: the vehicle capabilities the team chooses to highlight.
• Benefits: why a player may prefer a landspeeder in the Galactic League.
• Build possibilities: the idea that vehicles can be prepared or configured around different racing goals.

The official article does not provide a final spreadsheet of speed, handling, boost, durability, or upgrade values. It is therefore too early to publish a “best landspeeder build” or a tier list with made-up numbers.

How to use this information before launch

1. Treat the Paddock as the confirmed vehicle-preparation anchor.
2. Watch the official vehicle episodes for named parts or configuration rules before recording a build.
3. Keep any future setup notes tied to the exact vehicle, track, game version, and mode.
4. Do not infer a vehicle’s competitive ranking from a promotional screenshot.

The official post says future episodes will look at other Galactic League vehicles. When those episodes name more vehicles or provide actual handling details, this page can expand into a comparison table without mixing confirmed facts with trailer impressions.
