The Amateur Podracing Circuit was a series of seven podracing courses across planets of the Outer Rim. Beginning on Tatooine and ending on Mon Gazza, these courses were deemed simplistic by seasoned racers, as these courses served as a fast-paced introduction to the deadly sport. The flare of a new pilot crashing towards their death was a common spectacle during these races.
The circuit began at Tatooine's Mos Espa Grand Arena with a shortened version of the Boonta Eve Classic track. The races that followed were held on Mon Gazza, Ando Prime, Aquilaris, Malastare, and Oovo IV before returning to Mon Gazza for the final race.
The courses in the Amateur Circuit featured segments of most of the longer and more complex tracks in the Semipro Podracing Circuit, Galactic Podracing Circuit, and Invitational Podracing Circuit.
Completing races in the Amateur Podracing Circuit would unlock playable characters Teemto Pagalies, Aldar Beedo, Clegg Holdfast, Fud Sang, and Mars Guo. Finishing first in all races would unlock the first race of the Invitational Podracing Circuit.
