This is an alternate timeline where Overtel never bought Qirex and failed to take over the F7200 Commission. By extension the F7200 continued after 2156 and were never replaced by the F9000.

Despite millions of dollars in bribes and years of attempts, Overtel finally decided to cease their endeavour to acquire control over the F7200 race commission. Instead, they approached Tigron Enterprises, a Russian industrial corporation specializing in heavy manufacturing. However, this was actually a front for the Russian mafia, who had staged a hostile takeover of the Russian Government some years prior. Overtel and Tigron agreed a set of terms; Overtel would finance the creation of an AG team for Tigron, and in return, the Russian mafia would assist Overtel in expanding their business operations into Russian territory.

The terms were finalised in 2137, and Tigron Enterprises registered to compete in the F7200 AG Racing League seven years later, in 2144. The BULL-606 craft that raced in the league was a beast of a machine: capable of both high speed due to its experimental pulse ramjet, as well as the dangerous ramming manoeuvres often employed by its pilots, coupled with an overall racing style best described as "aggressive". These methods would acquire Tigron few friends during their tenure in the F7200. In particular, Icaras and Goteki 45 found themselves frequently butting heads with the new arrival: Goteki 45 due to their combat-heavy approach to racing, and Icaras due to the fragile nature of their craft. Indeed, Tigron's arrival in the F7200 saw many eliminations, which in turn brought bigger audiences (and bigger explosions) to the sport.

Due to the destruction that trailed in Tigron's wake, the team quickly became a fan favourite amongst the crowds, often referred to "Qirex on steroids". Despite this, there were concerns amongst the F7200 race commission that Tigron were showing little regard for the rules, especially when it came to their aggressive ramming techniques.

This came to a head when Icaras pilot James Wadsworth was hospitalised after an accident involving a Tigron craft. According to Tigron officials, the experimental ramjet system used by the BULL-606 craft malfunctioned, and smashed Wadsworth's craft into the track barrier at high speed. This event sparked inquiries into Tigron's methods on the track, as well as overarching safety standards for the F7200 AG Racing League. As a result, Tigron was heavily penalized for the incident, and became notably less aggressive during later seasons of the league.
