Hello Commanders! Our Polish faction The Winged Hussars is celebrating its 2nd birthday on 10th November 3303. To mark the occasion the Winged Hussars have teamed up with Buckyball Racing Club to organise a special event for all the community to participate in.
MIROSŁAW HERMASZEWSKI
Mirosław Hermaszewski is a brigadier general of the Polish Army and the first and only Polish astronaut in the history of the space flight.
In the summer of 1976, during the meeting of the representatives of the international Interkosmos Program, which was established by the USSR, it was announced that between 1978 and 1985 there would be space flights with the representatives of the Socialist Bloc countries. However, the order in which individual countries would participate in the project was not established. Natural candidates were Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) as the most technologically advanced countries and having the most significant contribution to the work of Interkosmos. Erich Honecker, the leader of the German Democratic Republic, pressed for his country to be given priority, for at that time the West German physicist Ulf Merbold was assigned to the first non-American astronaut and Honecker was determined for East German citizen to be the first in orbit.
However, after the intervention of representatives of the People's Republic of Poland, which used economic and historical arguments representing Poland as the main trading partner and ally in the fight against the Third Reich, Moscow finally decided that representatives of Czechoslovakia and Poland would be the first in space. The decision was of a political nature - in both countries the social situation was unfavorable to the authorities (the dissenting movement of Charter 77 in Czechoslovakia and protests due to the announced price increases in Poland) and an event that would divert the attention of the public.
In the same year, Hermaszewski was selected by a selection of several hundred Polish pilots as a candidate for a space flight. Finally elected, on the 4th December 1976 he flies to Star City near Moscow, where he prepares for a space flight. From 27 June to 5 July 1978 he took a flight on Soyuz 30. On the 28th June 1978 a mooring with the orbital team "Salut 6" - Soyuz 29 was conducted. After the research program, landings took place on 5 July in the steppes of Kazakhstan. During the 8-day mission, there were 126 laps of Earth and several Polish records approved by the FAI were established; Height - 363 km, speed of flight - 28000 km/h, flight time - 190h 3m 4s, distance traveled - 5,273,257 km amongts others.
Mirosław Hermaszewski was awarded the Golden Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union (No. 11 301), the Order of Lenin and the Order of the Cross of the Grunwald Class. In 1986 he became a Knight of the Order of Smile.

RULES
The race will take place between 10-19 November 3303. It's a Time Trial race, so participants must go around the established route (see below) docking at each station. On each station you need to take a screenshot so that the name of the station, the time and the fact that the ship is docked can be clearly seen (see example on the How to Enter page of the Buckyball Racing Club website).
The course starts and finishes at Hermaszewski Station in Arthaiyati. After departing from Arthaiyati, racers must call at the following stations, in order, before returning to finish back at Hermaszewski Station in Arthaiyati:
You should submit a total of 8 screenshots (2 of them from Hermaszewski Station - to start and finish the race). Instead of screenshots, you can also submit a video of your run. The player with the shortest flight time wins the race.
The race takes place in two categories: Adder Class and Free For All. For Adder Class the following build must be used (the screenshot of it must also be included in the set of screens from the station - or it must be shown in the video). In the FFA second class you can fly any vessel of your choice, with or without engineering. You can take any number of flights on the route within the specified time frame.
ADDER CLASS
In this class we fly the Adder ship with this specific build. Please note the additional fuel tank, otherwise you will run out of fuel!
WARNING! The above build is mandatory for Adder Class and a screenshot of it must be attached when submitting a participation request (along with 8 screenshots from stations as mentioned above). The screenshot of a Modules tab from the right panel is sufficient:
Hardpoints:none
Utility Slots: none
Core Internal:
The ship and all the required modules can be purchased at the first station of the route, where the race starts and ends.
In Adder class, modules must not be engineered; FSD injection is not allowed; and the use of FSD supercharging from neutron stars or white dwarfs is not allowed.
FREE FOR ALL
In this class any ship of your choice can be used, regardless whether it's engineered or not.
FSD injection is not allowed; the use of FSD supercharging from neutron stars or white dwarfs is allowed, but you may not start the race with the FSD supercharged (from double charging).
ENTRY SUBMISSION
Entries should be submitted by filling out this entry form. Please upload your evidence to a separate site (such as imgur for images, or YouTube for video), and provide a link to it in the entry form.

(Note for regulars: This race was put together by Cmdr Mathias Shallowgrave (rootsrat) of the Winged Hussars, I am just posting the thread and collating results at his request because he has several other things going on this weekend as well)
PRIZES
The winner of each category will receive a special prize - a set of 5 cork coasters with Elite-themed engravings on them!
