Beautiful! Also reassuring in one way as that appears to be EXACTLY what I've been trying to do. On the other hand, disheartening in another way as I'm generally incapable of doing it.
n.b. I've just noticed that if you watch these on certain mobile platforms then you may be missing out on the captions I added.
Yes, that's the spirit.. looks like there are 7 Igor coblimski's on the Zalyotin prisoner manifest.. are you sure you got the right one?
Leaderboard update
1 new entry for the middle of the last day. Cheetah and his buggy 'Pontiac Dream' take to the course to go 9th in the Jailbreak class.

Wow, that's fast! Great
At least I tried to do it the right way then. Now onto practicing...
Great stuff!

Won't be able to race any more today, so I'll just leave this here:

On a side note...was strolling around Zalyotin searching for a way to create a, ehm, "diversion" for our good Igor guy, when some very large kind of bug splat itself on my windscreen...

Leaderboard update last Day 8 PM GMT
2 new entrys on the board.
Aken B puts in a fantastic performance in jail break to take 1st place by 1 second.. wow.. that is the narrowest of margins..
Also posting a great time in county line to take 2nd place back.
Terrorsidic has beaten the timer and posted in all 3 classes.. these times are quick.. placing him 2nd place in Border run, and 3rd in County and jailbreak.
4 Hrs left, will we see a run from rewision and VJ?.. will Raiko have delivered enough coffee to do a run? could we see Ez make an appearance.. rumor is he has a buggy
Will SushiCW respond to Aken B's time.. will anyone break out the correct Igor?.. will Foxtwo find the PSB's at Wells relay?.. when will all the wars stop? who knows?.... we will find out.

Nope, no improvements from me I'm afraid. I've run 4 races today, the first 2 were alongside Aken B. We both aborted the first run after 5 minutes or so when we had separate rock encounters, it was really good to run along side someone, although I notice the damage magnification is still present The second run was 5 minutes slower than my submitted time, 3 ended in... well... another encounter with a *~@£$%# rock
(Note how the first one I hit takes off 2% hull and the next 23%) [sour]
The only good thing is that I've got a couple of hours of footage to break down so I can show the dreadful inconsistency and damage some of these rocks cause, look out for a rant thread and bug reports
It's been really fun and frustrating in equal measures this race, but would definitely do it again

I've got to say that now I've started to get it, I don't want to stop! It's a brilliant feeling. I bow out tonight not with a magnificent time but with joy in my heart.
Thanks for the clips of fail. I've had a few including the game dropping out when the hard disk bit full. All the best to the rest still on course

Agree.
Tried to squeeze a last minute attempt, but the game clearly said me "NOT!"...I had to retry several times just to be able to enter in the game: it's a thing that's happening since 2.1 hit, most of the times on the first start of the game I'll remain stuck after selecting "start game", sometimes after the "open play", sometimes on loading screens...this evening, I got stuck two times on srv deploying, both times I had to close the client and restart, just to find myself hovering 10 km above Zalyot...then, suffered multiple transaction errors, and several occasions of the srv suddenly changing its orientation relative to the ground (a thing that has happened several times even in the past days)...
So, in the end, this is how my attempt ended:

I really needed this Insta-pitching Jumping SRV Bug, just because the Random Boulders of Painfully Sudden Stop weren't enough
...Completely out of Rep.I see you and raise you this [big grin]:

Hello cookiehole
Why, just why didn't you use repair synthesis?
Has been fun driving with you today (until I heard that explosion a few km in front of me).
I've done a few runs and while I still have a lot to learn (especially not messing up with the landings) it's getting better
I really wonder why the Respawn Machine doesn't really work as anticipated, no 'splosions so far (only 4x repairs on the Border Run).
Thanks to Kligg for organizing and to everyone who participated, it has been great fun and I'm really looking forward to more buggy racing. Also looking forward to see the video of that insanely fast 25m run

I have some heavy confession to make...I'm probably unaware of how 75% of this game works, and I've spent so much time running around that I almost forgot there's a game to be played under all of this
. In all honesty I know about synthesis and how it works even if I've never actually used it, but finding the needed materials requires time, and usually I'm on a very tight schedule (today was an exception, day off work + bad weather made for some quality time in front of the screen)...after this, I really need to take a break from racing and start "playing", I'm on the verge of broke and paying 1M insurance on my Asp today didn't help...and maybe, I'll also stock up on synthesis resources while I am at it
It's not my fault, it's because of all this alluring events around...I'm a simple minded guy, I see a starting line, I push throttle forward [yesnod]
Thanks for hosting this great race. It's been infuriating, but fun
Congratulations to the winners.
When I watch Tannik's race, I realise just how much I still have to learn. Impressive.
