Suggestion: Sparrows

Hear me out... Sparrow Runs/Racing. This could be done in a dozen different ways; its own game mode, a public event, etc. Whenever I start up a Vanguard Strike, players (including myself) always boot up our sparrows right at the start and zip through the first chunk of the map until we get into combat. I think it's fun, people trying to race past, people with legendary sparrows zooming past exotic sparrows, trying to rush past obstacles. From the people who brought us "The Warthog Run" I think it would be interesting to see some dynamic with sparrows in D2 reflect that. You could have standard races (who gets to the finish line first, or does 3 laps around a map first) You could have races against the clock (ie: Warthog Run) You could also have Last Guardian Standing races where everything is trying to kill you on the map, and the last guardian wins. Devil's advocate; "Exotic sparrows provide an unfair advantage, especially if someone isn't using a legendary or exotic sparrow." True, but I feel like that could play as both an advantage and disadvantage. On my other character I can still zip past some players on my Rare sparrow since I'm going a little slower I have more time to react to obstacles. You could potentially also set a neutral cap on sparrows in that game mode. All sparrows share the same speed. I see a lot of people gripe about PvP, I only really PvP on Gambit, and while I'm not the biggest racing game fan - the idea of doing a "sparrow run" while the map is exploding with several other guardians sounds pretty epic. Also, I know I am by no means necessary the first person to think of this. I also stopped playing Xbox all together for a couple years and hopped back on this year. So maybe it was already somewhat a thing and I just missed it. What do you think? Would you like to do a "Warthog Run" but with sparrows and several other guardians? Would you like testing out your sparrow skills on potentially new maps or old maps?
