Which is one reason for me to refrain fom buying Starfield until at least end of October (when I'll have to run Prison Brake). Instead, I'm getting mired down in BG3.

but it's a whole lot of fun trying 
The good news is that I've improved since last year, the bad news is that Martin Jameson beat me by 10 seconds. If I'd known it was that close I'd have made a few more runs, I "know" that I could get 14 stops with a bit more practice. Till next time CMDR
Google must hate me, once again I'm missing from the final Regulation leaderboard, and I'm sure I submitted my Reg run at the same time as my Unlimited run.

#Stops -10 (Maybe 9, I was mid-launch waiting for the pad to turn around when 20 minutes elapsed)
Time - 21:36 (or just 20:00 if 9)

Unfortunately I didn't manage to upload my attempt in time, but that doesn't matter - I had a great time and look forward to scraping more paint from my fleet in the next race. Thanks very much to Psykit for organising.
I'm just happy to have pipped the white-van of 3308 (the Type 6) with 14 stops in a time of 21:17 in my Cobra Mk IV

I'll join in thanking @psykit for hosting this race: I did get dizzy, I didn't blow up as many times as I though I would, and I did do it again and again. Over 20 Cobra runs and another 20 Courier and Eagle, with another 20-odd starts but didn't finish, usually cos I didn't like the time after the first lap. Docking definitely improved over the week, it started scrabbling around the pad like a drunken spider most of the time and progressed to impersonating said spider at the centre of the pad some of the time, and actually splatting down and docking - like you're supposed to - quite frequently.
Congrats to the podium placers, well done to everyone else and a special well done and welcome to the first-timers. And to Draig, I'll be waiting for you... (he said, from the security of his 10-second cushion )

Since there was no official announcement I did just want to point out for anyone that hadn't noticed that final scores (or at least, almost final bar a few last minute corrections?) have been posted in post #2 of this forum thread.

SUBMIT YOUR RUN IT'S PARECO TIME (Posting this real early because of ECM)!! This is one of my favourite races from all of Elite Dangerous Racing and I felt like it would be criminal for me to not bring it back for a third time given how popular it was last year! Also after the madness that was...

Congratulations to everyone that managed to complete the race and kept their sanity, and big thanks to psykit for hosting.
Just in case people aren't sick of seeing dockings at Pareco yet, a compilation of the fastest landings for each pad, bloopers and the fastest run:
Fast landings
Not so fast landings

It is possible to do this and keep your level of sanity. If someone would manage to improve their level of sanity, however...
That would be a downright miracle.
One thing is for sure. The staff at Neville Ring's Concourse wasn't really happy to be the hosting platform of this event...
I'm still impressed how the STCs kept up with this without losing it on air...

Wow ... that's a LOT of landings ... epic!
I want to have a go at making a splitscreen video of the top 4 runs in each class. If you're in one of these categories could you pm me the link to your video (assuming you have one).
P.S. if you've already seen and responded to this request in the discord server then you can ignore this.

Sorry for the slow response Alec, I'm away and not had mobile signal, it's still too poor to grab the links, forums are the limit right now.
Psykit should have them in the entry spreadsheet, if not i can get them to you next week sometime.

Thanks sgurr, no problem. I've got a youtube link from psykit so all good I think but I'm away too now so won't get to start working on these until for another week.
Have a great time o7
Right then folks ... I've finished doing the Pareco Run unlimited class winners split screen video.
