Race starts soon!! Entry form link is now at the bottom of the first post. Good luck CMDRs, I very much doubt I'll actually be putting a time in myself as I've only got a gamepad out here in Angola and I'm not home until July 5th. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how you tackle the course. Fly fast! o7

Thanks guys, yes. I won't be counting any time staring out of your cockpit window on the pad whilst your oxygen runs down before you launch. Fish172 (Sulu) is correct, if you do the entire run with it off your Bonus time will equal your run time. Good try @Alec Turner
anyway .... unlimited run submitted couldn't manage to get the cobra around in one piece today - maybe next week on my return. So good racing till then - over and out !

Think I must have been in the back of the ship doing a number two. Sorry I missed this!
Unlimited run submitted. Not very good, includes 2 orbits of Misty Pool looking for Ward B (it hides somewhere, I tell you!), but it's something up on the board.
Also managed to hack @Epaphus's Livesplit files to include a split for landing on 2e before bombing Matarov. It was a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be!

Couple of botched runs this morning. Keep messing up my approach to Misty Pool. I go too fast and get dragged out of SC by hitting the rings thirty odd km away.
Oh this is an excellent race, really excellent!
Regulation run submitted!

First leaderboards will be tomorrow evening once I have a few more submissions in. Glad you’re all enjoying it so far. Turn and burn CMDRs!
Rules updated slightly after a conversation in the discord. Regulation and Unlimited classes previously stated that ‘a’ 1B or 2B Dumbfire missile rack must be used, but this has now been changed to ‘one’ 1B or 2B Dumbfire missile rack must be used and (slight edit) all other hardpoints are banned in both classes….etc You guys…..
Any submissions timestamped prior to this clarification will be accepted. Please use just one rack in both classes going forward.

Unlimited run submitted! It's pretty rubbish tbh. And no shenanigans. Crap gravity breaking too. But it's a run!
Race? What on earth are you talking about CMDR?? This is a mission, this is war!! War is dangerous. I’ll have none of that race talk on this carrier. Dismissed.
Regulation run submitted. I feel like a proper Buckyballer now: log in, one run, call it good enough and submit. Now the time will turn out to be terrible!
Now the time will turn out to be terrible!I'm with Shaye on this. One weedy little missile? Nah, big missile racks, and lots of 'em. More boom, more betterer!Rules updated slightly after a conversation in the discord.
