Series Information
CMDR Ka'Buir is holding a racing series for the Elite Racers!
Teams
Form Your Team - Sign up with a team of 3 players.
OR
You may join alone, One change to the last series is that if you join alone, you will be placed in a random team with other solo players.
The reason for teams is,
During the Qualifier heat & Series races players will be required to keep track of their own finish time, in the event of a dispute (we recommend for those not streaming to take a screenshot) your wing will help verify your time/position.
Ship Builds
Main class - we will be using Non-Engineered Eagle Mk.IIs with 3A Enhanced Thrusters (or 3A Thrusters if you cant afford the enhanced).
Premier class - allows for any of the following ships with any amount of engineering tuning (please no weapons, this is a no-combat racing series)
Important note
Once you've built your ship, fly it as close as possible to the race course and dock safely. You may need to temporarily upgrade your FSD and equip a fuel scoop for the trip, or utilise the Ship Transfer option in the Shipyard. PLEASE TRANSFER BOTH YOUR ENGINEERED SHIP AND THE MAIN EVENT BUILD AHEAD OF TIME. This might be a pain...but it will save us a lot of grief on the day of the event.
It is also recommended that you show up to the event system about 20 minutes prior as instancing will usually begin then.
Event Process
This is the key to our series working as planned: Team officials will collaborate, and pay attention to everyone in these heats. We must do our best to determine all finishing positions in an accurate order. Officials will confer until an official leaderboard is decided upon. Hopefully, in this way, everybody can influence the scores and get your name in the results posts

Event Process
- Wing up with your team. If you have signed up as an individual you will be assigned wing members and help them instance with everyone else
- We will have 3 track sessions at each event:
- 1) Practice Session Everybody hit the track with your engineered ships! This will last anywhere from 10-45min as racers familiarise themselves with the course and just have fun while we handle instancing. Once everyone is fully instanced, everyone including Team Officials may participate in the Premier Heat.
- 2) Qualifier Heat Compete within your team to determine A, B, and C class racers. Pay attention to their blue nametags to determine who crosses the line first, second, and third. Take note, you will be requested for this information as soon as the heat ends. Everyone will start when we say go, but remember, you're only racing against your teammates in this qualifier heat.
- 3) Premier Heat (on August 26th, September 9th & September 23rd) After the qualifying heat determines your A, B, and C racers these participants will compete for the pride of your team. All of the A racers will face off against each other, and so on. Heats A, B, and C are weighted equally on the leaderboards. One win means points for the team and points for the individual as well. You don't have to have engineering to compete in this heat.
- 4) Stock Heat (on September 2nd, 16th, 30th) (Uniform Build Only) After the qualifying heat determines your A, B, and C racers these participants will compete for the pride of your team. All of the A racers will face off against each other, and so on. Heats A, B, and C are weighted equally on the leaderboards. One win means points for the team and points for the individual as well.
