Oh no, What is this?
8WD SRV Endurance Championship is a LIVE racing event held over several weeks.
=> THIS THREAD IS NOT THAT <=
This is the 8WD SRV Endurance TIME TRIALS,
being run alongside the main event.
Ok, but I’m still not sure what THIS is?
Well, like the main event,
The time trials will consist of 7 races in various systems. Each with a unique course. Some of these rallies take a substantial time to complete. This is endurance racing
Unlike the main event,
You don’t need to be present at 17:30 UTC on every second Sunday (that’s like 3am for me in Bucky-time) and is also not limited to PC.
Playing Elite on your peasant console? Show us pc master race players how fast the console SRV racers are!
The standing time trial takes place on your own time, racing the different locations using the in-game clock to record your time.
Did I mention there's points? There's POINTS!
To keep things interesting on the Time Trial side of things, each course will open shortly AFTER the main live event has happened.
For those first 2 weeks until the NEXT live event, time trial entries will be eligible for the points system.
Our own little time trial championship!
Run it as many times as you like, if you raced in the live event, you can torture yourself by join in this too!
After those first 2 weeks are up, you can still put in time trial entries after obviously, but no points!

Rules
- Racers must drive their SRV from start to finish without blowing up
- Repairs are only allowed by recalling and boarding your ship (boarding repairs SRV)
- Refueling is only allowed while parked under your recalled ship (synthesis refuels SRV)
- Ship recall issues are considered pit stop mistakes
- Only basic synthesis is permitted (no upgraded fuel or hull) - 'tis a gentleman's game!
- Racers must obey course specific rules where applicable

FAQ
- I HATE SRV’s, can I just do the time trials with my ship? Wellll, its an 8 Wheel Drive (8WD) SRV
Championshiptime trial.…. buuuut, if your SRV has a ship ‘built’ around it and that ‘extension’ of your SRV were to make the SRV get from the start to finish line really quickly, I’m not going to stop you.….. I might just put you in your own category though! - Did you organise all this? No, I'm just riding the coattails of CMDR BlackMaze's hard work. I've wanted to do more SRV time trials for awhile, but BlackMaze's event cuts out the hard work of finding and testing locations, and that means more racing for everyone... except maybe Sanderling who refuses to race SRVs
- Can I use VR / a second screen with a map / a printed map / elite console controller skillZ / can someone record me doing the endurance? Yes!
When does it end?
It doesn't.
I'll keep taking entries for as long as the game is (or I am) around.
