Patchy day. Managed to improve slightly with my Regulation run, but also managed to destroy plenty of ships in the process. I'll hold off submitting it yet, just in case I manage to go a little faster towards the end of the week.

do an ok run, check the live split, drop to the hanger and then notice this..........Very Annoyed!!!!!!!!!!!!
Urgh ... 2% is the worst, I've lost several ships trying to knock that last 1% off before landing but landing with it still on is possibly even more annoying.

I would like to upload my latest failed attempt at this challenge to the forum (haven't had a successful one yet), but apparently a 41 second clip at the lowest resolution (540) is still too large?
And has anybody else been having game lagging/disconnection issues this evening?
Right, a hopefully valid run submitted, a bit slow through the tunnel, I know I'm going to get a penalty there, but after so many tunnel failures this week, I erred on the side of caution.

Well... connectivity issues, a bit of distracted flying, and three severe stopping attempts later, this has to be my best run of the evening:

At least I made it through to the other side! I'm gonna need another Timmy!

7 Couriers went boom tonight, and I never got as far as the Vasilyev system I shall return with renewed vigour, determination and maybe a different ship tomorrow!

I think the Corvette would strongly object to being called a Cutter
That was brilliant! I only hope it doesn't become the standard thing to do after a slight misunderstanding with the rulebook...
Excellent ... another clip for my Wiccan deaths montage!Well... connectivity issues, a bit of distracted flying, and three severe stopping attempts later, this has to be my best run of the evening:

Meanwhile, having got myself a better route yesterday (and given it a quick test run which produced my regulation pb) - today was the day I raced that route in earnest.
Had three excellent runs ... all of which turned out to be around 45 seconds slower than yesterday's test run ... go figure!
Oh well, I did at least manage to catch one of @sgurr's tunnel runs on camera.
So day 6 of the race is upon us. We have had just a few entries today so this will be quite short and sweet.
In regulation we have had our Commander Bruski storm in to second place with an excellent run. The fight for 1st place is now very close indeed. The result of this means that Sgurr is now in 3rd and our Mr Turner has been kicked off the podium.
Further down the field we had a much improved time from Draig Seren and a new entry from Rocky Star so welcome to the party. Looking forward to more runs from you.
In unlimited we have had no change at the top, however a huge round of applause to Commander Bruski who has broken the 13 minute barrier. That is some going indeed. There have been no more new entries today in unlimited, but the podium fight is not over yet.
That’s it today folks
Fly Hard!

No worries, I thought it was me! Thanks for the correction.
Hmmm, if I'd have kept all of my failed attempts the deaths montage would be about four hours long!
