so of course in the political reality that surrounds the action of the movie, one must imagine that the death race started as a way for local paramilitaries and militias to round up undesirables and sacrifice them in the name of sport, and the only reason the race is relatively peaceful and kills are opportunistic is because the continual purge has "cleared the field" so to speak. so vigilante violence and the death race largely supplanted police as the primary mechanism of social order, which is why running the death race is the primary political achievement and promise of the ruling authoritarian regime
