''Ghost Racers'' is a 2015 Creator/MarvelComics limited series written by Felipe Smith with art by Francesco Francavilla.

The series is part of the ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' event, set at a time when reality has been remade and the only remaining planet is Battleworld, a patchwork of different realms held together by the will of ComicBook/DoctorDoom.

The series features all the ComicBook/GhostRider's (Johnny Blaze, Danny Ketch, Alejandra Jones, Robbie Reyes, and [[RetroactiveLegacy Carter Slade]]) competing against each other in a series of [[WackyRacing death races]] held within the capitol of Battleworld.

!!''Ghost Racers'' provides examples of:

* BizarreSexualDimorphism: In contrast to her original incarnation, Alejandra's transformation is rather subdued as she just grows a skull-print mask that covers the lower half of her face. This is in stark contrast to her fellow (and chiefly male) Spirits of Ignition who all look like demonic skeletons of varying make.
* BilingualBonus: One of Robbie's fans holds up a sign that reads "Robbie es el rey" which translates to "Robbie is the king."
* BoringButPractical: Alejandra's main strategy is to hang back as her rivals duke it out, wait for a prime opening, and activate all her NitroBoost charges at once to get ahead. This makes her one of the least popular of the racers, but it is a valid tactic given that the point of the competition is to place first, not blow up the other indestructible contestants.
* IveHeardOfThatWhatIsIt: In issue #1, Alejandra Jones is referred to as being "Nicaraguan", despite the fact that the country of Nicaragua almost certainly doesn't exist in Battleworld, however no one comments on this.
* ImprobablyCoolCar: The Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider gets an upgraded version of his old car for the Ghost Rider Death Race - it's now not only a hellfire powered sports car, but one with mounted machine gun turrets and cannons. Some of the other contestants drive similarly cool Hellfire Cars.
* NiceGuy: Robbie Reyes, who just wants to protect his brother.
