Even though I flew in an un-engineered Asp Explorer, that took 46 days to get there. That was truly a challenge.
Ok, as HaggisMuncher69 suggested, lock the thread.

Unengineered Asp? In my day we took an unengineered Cobra Mk III
The thread remains open as the 48hr challenge is still accepting entries.
Uphill.. both ways.. That would be a more challenge indeed. Northwest Passage to get to Beagle for sure.Unengineered Asp? In my day we took an unengineered Cobra Mk III

Just did a run on my stream, undocked from Galileo at 00:00:00 and made it to Beagle Point in 5 hours, 48 mins, and 10 seconds. Took the snapshot in game 3 sec later cause VA is being slow and I am playing VR
As far as I am aware, previous record was 5 hours, 52mins and 28 seconds
VOD is avaliable, but will get it on Youtube after the 24 hour period ends.

Aye, that would be a new record. Point me at video or give me start/end screen grabs to verify the time and you'll be the new record holder.

@Dr_Chives gauntlet thrown...
Challenge accepted.
CMDR: Dr. Chives
Ship: Racing Rodent
Shiptype: Anaconda
Class: Unlimited, with neutrons and a lot of premium injects.
Start: Galileo Station, SOL, 6.1.3307 at 18:00:00 UTC
Finish: Beagle Point, 6.1.3307 at 22:18:53 UTC
Time: 4:18:53
So, how did I do this? After Cmdr @Malic did his record run a week ago, I went to Beagle Point twice. The first journey was to map a custom route out there, fitted to my ship and my fuel consumption, like we do for the Buckyball A* Challenge. In the end I got a route with 267 jumps which needed 54 premium injects to complete (ouch!). Today I went to BP the second time, this time as a record attempt. I could not record the whole journey (not enough space on my harddrive for that...), but I took a screenshot every few minutes. So, if you are interested, here is the link to the full album on Imgur incl. the outfitting of my Anaconda: Sol - Beaglepoint in 4:18:53 (Full Album)
I hope I provided all necessary documentation. @iain666, if you need something else, just pm me.
And now, time for a break. Enough jumping for one day!

OMFG.
o7 Cmdr.
258 minutes. I have no words.
Yeah, that's ... extraordinary! Since Lave Radio just reported on Malic's new record in last week's episode I felt duty bound to alert them to your new record. Hopefully they'll mention it in next week's show. Congratulations!Challenge accepted.

I see the 65,000 ly from Sol challenge is closed - I'm happy to have made it to entry 630 back in my unengineered asp so long ago. But I'm interested in the 48HR challenge. I see it's still considered to be going, almost like Elite Dangerous' speed run of sorts. However, I cannot find an up to date list or document detailing the top times of participants in the challenge. Is there one somewhere?
It's the 2nd sheet on the spreadsheet that's linked from the OP
Things just got spicy in here. No way would I even ATTEMPT such a show of force. :'(
Good job to the two pilots that make the rest of us feel so...
