I've switched to regulation class Eagle, first run submitted (was pretty pleased with it despite an "interference fit" engagement with the back of one of the stations). Alas just too late to make today's leaderboard update (which has been posted in the Discord server).

Race Class: Regulation
Ship Type: Eagle
Ship Name: Fairground Hustler

I'll probably switch to a more suitable racer later, but for now watch out for me in the mail-slots folks! o7

There will not be a mail slot if that is coming through, and I would seriously doubt you would notice our more "delicate" ships even if they rammed you at full speed

Not much danger of that @Alec Turner :)

Well yes, the scene in my screenshot is the aftermath of a Buckyball landing by Baymax. :ROFLMAO:

Well Raiko`s idea sounded so much fun I just ran an Imperial Cutter round in 35.01. That dam ship is a sod to turn though. It is not fair to call it drift as you float past looking at the place you would like to be. I would suggest that it steers using guesswork . What a hoot though as you fly through the slot at over 500m/s in an apartment block.

Truth
Point the nose to where you want to go, add 90 more degrees, and THEN you'll get to where you want to go lol

Made some tweaks to my build, primarily engineering my power distributor so I could boost for days. Only made four costly errors this time around, but plenty of minor ones, I'm improving too! :) (y)

You can watch my egregious abuse of the "boost" button in about an hour here:
