You mention the rail riding and you mention weapons. So do two rail-rider come towards each other parallel and attack each other like jousters? Or do you take on a train with this firepower? Or just do drive-bys in area in which there happens to be people?

Ok heres how it goes

Their are multiple rails in a circle with a number of rail riders of each depending on the number of contestents *Their could be like 5 or 10 rails with not everyone filled or they could have more then one on each.

you go around in a circle at high speed, now Im going to put in a Number of laps to win, but you can attack your enemies with your turret seat or by your driver weapons. Turret weapons can face any way but driver weapons can only fire in a straight line.

The object is to survive, and win, Winning can be acheived by destruction of enemies, winning the race in first place.

Gadgets add new functionality to the Rail riders such as my favorite, the grappling hook.

Spells can effect the game, so can feats and class abilitys.

Enhancements enhance weapons, gadgets and armor, everything show is in its most basic form.

This game is done in areas built for rail riders, The rail is basically a square shaped rod hovering above the ground a little.

Although depending on the campaign that could be the standard rail setup, allowing them to run through city areas and destruction, though that should be up to dm.
