This is an important moment in racing history, so the race organizer is not going to DQ entries for failing to submit exact fuel evidence, and instead apply judge's penalty of an effectively full tank. Besides Alec, you got it backwards. ;) Pilots are supposed to burn as much fuel as possible, not as little. CMDR <-lightspeed-> did the same.

As noted, the race is being extended through the 19th. :)

Thanks! o7

Actually I knew I was supposed to burn lots of fuel which is why, at the start of the video (even in my drunken state I might add) I attempted to select a system just inside my max jump range. Which brings me to a question. Why wouldn't it let me jump there? If I've got a 31ly jump range for example, can I not jump somewhere that's 30ly away? (even tho the route plotter might suggest taking 2 jumps to get there?).

P.S. you're dead right tho', I completely forgot about all the fuel evidence screenshots (all I sent you were 2 shots of the fast ring clock, 9m45s apart ... pretty shoddy really, I apologise) :D

I think you forgot to account for the weight of recently added shields.

CURSES!!! Alec ruined my plan of getting last in every class. :( Also my Top Fuel run seems to be missing.

Will be out for a couple days. The little one decided to show up a couple weeks early.

Many congratulations!
Good news on the extension to the race, as well, since I'm finally back in the bubble.
Bad news is that it often takes my desktop PC about three minutes just to open the Galaxy Map. Maybe I should risk my laptop... there should be time to get a run in before the GPU gets too hot...

If you use s small enough fuel tank you don't need to navigate very far away, and could easily do it with the sidebar nav menu. In the Viper I only went about 11 LY each way I think. That way you can avoid the galmap entirely.

Had a few serious attempts this afternoon but seeing as none of them are earth shattering I've decided to leave my "(Super) Pro" time untouched
(especially as I'm actually quite proud of that one :D).

If they have them in stock I might try it with an Eagle as well...
