Cortes Base Circuit challenge: An Elite Racers standing time trial

[Alec Turner]

And here's my best SRV lap from last night. Far from perfect (still working on that) and completely muffed the final entrance ramp but worth submitting I think.

@Terrorsidic I sped the video up and added a soundtrack so it's entertaining to watch but hopefully it's still acceptable as a submission video?

It's so good, and hopefully you don't mind, I've used it as the demonstration video for the SRV Course.
I'm so rusty with the SRV, I keep spinning out!

Not at all - I'm honoured. Meanwhile, I done my first ever Giphy!

NICE run Shaye!! That's gonna be very tough to match, never mind top. Great job!!

 

[Alec Turner]

And ditto from me re: the SRV run.

Bloody hell Shaye, are you sure you're not just an alt' account of Cmdr Cookiehole's?

 

[Shaye Blackwood]

Not that I know of.

I've got 7:52 and 3:11

Amazing work! Lets see how long those top spots last

 

[Shaye Blackwood]

Wasn't sure quite where you consider the end to be, I used the last part of the ramp I can see out of the ground. I hope they last a few days at least

 

[Alec Turner]

fwiw I also checked Shaye's run (because, you know, disbelief! sorry!) and I made it bang on 8:00

For the start I'm taking the edge of the tunnel entrance where it seems a bit brighter ..

.. and for the finish, the last bit of tarmac at the bottom of the ramp ..

Ooooh, those are slick!

Puts my little red lines to shame! Cool - race is about 8 meters shorter than I thought!

Hmmm I'll have to see if my Keelback will fit through those tunnels

Just a question, what ships DO fit through these courses? I was thinking of trying out my Mamba on this.

 

[Terrorsidic]

I haven't tested everything yet but I can confirm,
Large - only Orca.

Are we talking about the road gates for the Elite course or just the entrance/exit tunnels? Mamba definitely fits through the tunnels but I very much doubt it would fit through the road gates.

 

[Shaye Blackwood]

If Elite course, T6 and Diamondback Explorer should be the only medium ships that fit through the gates (not tested Diamondback myself).

Many thanks to @ToCoSo for the most fitting soundtrack ever. Keelback love ❤ .
