Certain Grav Race drivers are marketed as Idol Drivers - most often the young and beautiful ones. An Idol Driver not only drives a Grav Racer, but becomes a role model and idol to thousands of (mostly teenage) fans as well.
Idol Drivers often do other things besides race - such as singing, staring in Sexy Soaps or otherwise performing. But the most important thing for an Idol Driver is to have their own distinctive style for the fans to imitate.
Idol Drivers rarely drive all that well, but can still make fortunes and even win races because of viewer support. Normal Grav Race drivers often think of them as posers.
Sonia Wight has been marketed as an Idol Driver for the Qirex Kombinat, with Phoenix as her pet/sidekick/fashion accessory.
