Team Name
The denomination of Racing come from their past as an Omnisport club, their nickname of "Gothic Warriors" come from their geographic origin. The town of Fergus is located in the south-east of Drevstran, in a region that continued to speak a Gothic language for centuries after the arrival of the Ludic people and even after the Lushyods. This Gothic culture remain lively in Fergus, helped by the proximity with Brumen which is only two hours away by car, even if the language is now extinct.
