Ladies and Gentlemen, let me present the final leaderboard.
First of all, a clerical remark: due to the number of (new) entries, the final leaderboards will only show the final standing of each CMDR. Each of you knows how your race times improved (or not) during this last week.
Next, some statistics:
There have been 93 submissions for this race. 1 had to be discounted, and one was retracted by the CMDR, leaving a whopping total of 91 submissions to check out. The racers with the most submissions have been CMDR Sulu and CMDR Tobias von Brandt with seven entries each. A propos - CMDR Tobias von Brandt, could you get some Heat Dispersion Plates for your girl?
Race entries were almost enevly distributed between Open Unlimited and Regulation Cobra: 51 entries (55%) for Open Unlimited and 42 (45%) for Regulation Cobra.
Most popular ship in Open Unlimited was the iCourier (31% of entries), followed by the Viper Mk.III (24%) and Sidewinder (16%).
And finally, the leaderboards.
In Regulation Cobra, we have 15 new or improved entries, out of 23.
Coming in at the bottom, nominally between places 21 and 22, yours truly in 8-Balls Of Fire. Next, on 20th place, our delightful artist (you should visit the Discord to see his works) CMDR MrIndigo in Pablo Honey. CMDR Willyum-71 follows in Dry-Capping on place 19. After this, we get, on places 17 to 13, spread out over exactly one minute, CMDRs Sinister Hedgehog in Miles Behind (17), FearlessF21 in Ninky-Nok (16), Heliaxx in Name (15), psykit in The joy of hex (14) and Martinjameson in There Goes Me Whippet! (13).
Coming to the countdown, we have CMDR Tobias von Brandt in Sag Wagon on 10th place. CMDR Sulu in Bit of 16 sneaks past him onto 8th place. CMDR Epaphus in Baller follows on 7th. Despite a promising start, CMDR Kevin The Stabber has to content himself with 6th place in Marion Cobretti. And on the last of the non-podium places, we see CMDR Ozric in Spoiler Not Included on 4th.
On the podium in Regulation Cobra class, CMDR Alec Turner in Ask Again Later is pushed down to third place.
CMDR Bruski, breaking the 17 minute barrier, slams into second place with You Break 16 Tons... and a motiviating soundtrack.
And on first place in Regulation Cobra class, CMDR Sgurr in Class of 84 was able to improve his last time by a full 30 seconds.
Coming to Open Unlimited, we "only" get 7 new entries.
Not really worth to mention is again your race host who pummeled his Federal Corvette Roll On around the course, because it can be done. Further up (definitely further up) the leaderboard, we see CMDR MrIndigo again, this time in his Viper Mk.III Antic Pants, painting himself into 13th place. On 11th place, we get CMDR Martinjameson in his iEagle Where's One's Whippet.
The countdown again starts with CMDR Tobias von Brandt on 10th place, this time in his Viper Mk.III Deathtrap. CMDRs Epaphus and Kevin The Stabber have swapped places and the former now sits on 6th place in Open Unlimited with his iCourier Raincoat Raft.
Nothing much else changes until we get to the podium. And even there, CMDR Darplata94 remains solid on third place.
<drumroll>
Both CMDRs Sgurr and Shaye Blackwood were able to shave off a little more time from their performance - 22 and 21 seconds, respectively. However, that single second difference in improvement was insufficient to make up for their 4 seconds distance on the last leaderboard, therefore, we have now, in Open Unlimited,
CMDR Sgurr in his Sidewinder Grow up to be a viper on second place
and
CMDR Shaye Blackwood in his Viper Mk.II Blackbird on first place.
Separated by three seconds.
Have a good night, and hopefully see you all in the next (and final) race of the Swift 16 series.

) but those are some great results for DP, especially in Unlimited.
) So, as with every other race this season, I leave it a far better pilot than I was 10 days ago! Congrats to all for your achievements and personal improvements this week!
