Still a rubbish time, but I at least think that I could improve considerably if I could just get a little more reliable at landings.
I've also got over 50m/s quite a few times (first time ever for me) - sadly even my 'good' landings at 50+ result in a big drop off in speed.

I'm going to watch a couple of the videos to try and figure out what to work on improving first.

I'll try to be around tomorrow - family stuff permitting. I need some more repair materials first though (I've got zero iron remaining after my last run).

Make sure you've got drive assist off and the throttle pegged to full (and make sure it stays there, if it drops at any point your wheels spin down and you'll lose speed on landing).

So uhh, I actually got a good run in tonight, was just practicing but i grabbed pics for the hell of it. I didn't even think it was as good as it was, I mean, it was a clean run, but, a surprising time since I was just goofin. not too shabby. http://imgur.com/a/uPIaP a time of 6:15 with SRV La SRV, and I think I can fill out the rest. ;)

Not having video for a run like that is criminal. How are we supposed to admire your work? :D
Click to expand...

yea I know, blame OBS for that, it apparently had an error message I didn't notice till almost done with the run, luckily I had the insight to take backup photos this time. It will be fine, you guys can admire my work as well as others all day tomorrow on the live stream on my Twitch channel. https://www.twitch.tv/darthraijiin ;)

We are going to shoot to start our 24 hour stream at 6pm UK/1pm EST. During that time we will run laps on the course in Plutarch system at King Holdings. we should be able to upload multiple streams to my Twitch, if you wanna participate and upload your own camera to the feed let me know, we can add it to the pile. The idea is to have multiple views when people are making attempts, kinda like a racing event with in car views. We have some other fun ideas to do, like SRV battle Royal and maybe try to kill them with ships and a drunken lap run, every time it blows up you take a shot. https://www.twitch.tv/darthraijiin

I am still unclear as to exactly where the finish line is. From the opening post it appears it should be the trespass area at Lopez de Villalobos Oasis, from other comments in the thread it appears it is sufficient to just be within 300m.

Anyway, here's my first submission:
Cmdr Samwell Drakhyr
Buckyball Racing Club
SRV name: Whirling Dervish
Time: 32:58 or 33:08 depending on finish line

EDIT: Also: Raijin, the leaderboard updates keep on showing up as dark grey text, which becomes a bit difficult to read when viewing the forums with one of the themese that has a black background (as I do). From what I've seen elsewhere, it's a problem that arises when copying and pasting into the forums (though it's better than the black on black that sometimes happens!).

Incidentally, on the subject of flying a ship from Kings Holdings to Lopez (or more accurately, from Lopez back to Kings Holdings, which is what I've been doing), I've been getting much better (and faster) at jumping into SC, then angling down to just above the horizon, then spinning upside down so I can eyeball the approaching station, then flipping back and dropping down just above the station ready to request docking permission. It's an interesting little manoeuvre and one I've been considering making a Buckyball race out of (provisionally entitled something like "Planet Hopping").

You're doing this wrong. Real men* race the distance boosting straight to Kings trying to keep below 100 meters altitude. Mistakes may follow. Sorry about your loss Nitrogue. :D

(Warning: chances of annoyingly loud music)

* women are usually smart enough to avoid such idiotic stunts.

I stand corrected, this time you've managed to go completely black on black...

There's no border or any hostility from Oasis for me.
I've been sitting in various places around the Oasis for the last hour.
Even flew over the red barrier Ghost Giraffe style :S

Ok, so I have given up using tables on the Forum, because its too much of a pain in the to update and move people around. There's literally nothing to help me out to move people up or down, as far as I know. So, I will just use my table I have in Sheets, cause it's always amazing.

Like all the races I've ever done it's an excellent opportunity to learn and improve and to meet like minded people. Looks like you and I are getting similar times ... last one to beat 25mins buys the drinks!
Click to expand...

Looks likes you're buying the drinks Mr Turner, just went sub 25.

Start 22:36:45
End 22:58:57
Time 22:12
Evidence: https://youtu.be/e9PMBZYbFT8

had potential to go sub 20, maybe sub 15, but had a few spin outs. Really chuffed that I reached 400m altitude at one point.

Updated goals:

sub 25 time

sub 20 time (doubt ill get better than that)

Top 10 finish (doing well so far)

Beat a Guild member (also doing well so far)

Have Fun (if last night with ship stacking was anything to go by, already done)

Don't know whether to challenge the leader to a SRV vs FAS race (no boost on my part, just surface skimming)[/QUOTE]

We are just over 7 hours into our 24 hour stream now, CCG racers have not improved any times, Unless you count Ninja's amazing 1 hour and 22 minute drive to last place. He didn't want to use any repairs. We have a few new Entries from Diamond Frogs and Elite Racers as well. anyway, come join us in twitch and chat with us, or maybe pop into our voice chat on our discord, the link is provided on my twitch channel.
