There will be 8 event days with each 3 stages ranging from:

I've been asked to relay a message:

The Scarab Mastery Championship is purely on the PC due to the live nature but the Elite Racers has Xbox members as well so we invite them to come and join us.
There is a big chance our very own Terrorsidic will be organising a timetrial version of the activities, right Terror? Right?!

I think @BlackMaze (who perhaps missed your question as he's not a big forum user) has inadvertantly answered it rather bluntly.

As you've probably spotted - being a live in-game instanced race event (which is also making use of 3rd party tools for timing/tracking), and without cross-play, I'm afraid this does rather mean that console players are going to be excluded from taking part in this. That said, there's no reason a group of console players couldn't replicate the event for themselves (the 3rd party tracker is non-essential).

Again, on behalf of the organisers I feel obliged to apologise for this - I hate it when events like this exclude people for whatever reason.

All I can add is that if you're into racing then try to keep an eye out here in the Events section of the forum for future Buckyball races as we run these as time trials which means that all are welcome to take part, irrespective of platform and/or availability on particular dates/times.

Thats Outrageous! I have no choice but to do it myself unofficially but alongside in our parallel universes. ;) Oh well, hope theres some future ones we can all join but yeah we never gonna get the cross play for the non-solo rally cross type so we will always be separated by that wall. Never mind. Just one of those things.

Glad to see that the course has been changed slightly, means my total lack of practice has paid off for once :)

I may have missed it but is there an FC to dock / respawn at in System that isnt going to jump out in the middle of the event? Im one jump over, darent dock at an FC until I know its staying lol

Use "Cranky Metrics" if you want outfitting/shipyard, or "Tis a Fleeting Thing" if you don't need that.
Neither will be moving till after the event.

Unofficial XB times:

Hill Climb 21:43 (got stuck on last bit for quite a while) - Blew up on way back down
Descent - DNF missed the time and video stopped recording. (One bounce before pad, 2nd bounce way beyond pad, turned around and morphed into landing pad on arrival and self-destructed / blew up)...and Im not 100% sure I set off from the right bit, I think I jumped early and went over the proper jump point.
Rally X - 20:00 (not 1 complete run without spinning out, crashing or getting stuck on an object) - celebrate by balancing SRV on Entry Sign and blow up falling off

3 SRVs brought, 3 SRVs destroyed. Perfect Planning!

Not impressive Ill grant you, but a lot of fun apart from the last 10 minutes of that hill climb where I couldnt see Jack and kept losing track of where I was trying to get to, wasnt sure if hull was gonna last.

Onwards and upwards, things can only get better....or stay the same or get worse, but one of those three for sure :)
