Thanks again psykit and congratulations EVERYONE for some awesome racing!

Next one is Raiko's "Once Upon A Time In Leesti", coming later this month I believe.

oh wow yes - putting the deadly spinning rings at the return would safe some time - but, looking at 40+ explosions there after 4mins in the run compared to maybe 15mins in - I think I still got it right for me - at least another ship on the blocking list, that is totally fine with me as a result

fantastic race @psykit - usually I say I enjoyed it a lot, but I also hated the hacienda much - such evil

Still workin on dat bit. Need everyone to flaming well slow down

Well I nearly got into top 5 in unlimited and did in reg. Not bad all considered. Well done all

As always, I’m flirting with the top ten, and a bit frustrated with the fact that it’s a lack of consistency that keeps me out of it! Doubly so with the latest version of my Buckyball Racing Spreadsheet, which is coming ever closer to automatically analyzing my performance.

In retrospect, I may have been better off running the entire race shieldless, especially in unlimited, and repaired only if absolutely necessary to complete a run. I think I aborted some runs due to damage that would’ve improved my upon submitted runs.

There’s always next time!

For me, I have a permanent date with 5-7th. Dammed consistent though, and with the skill and speed of the racers it is not that shameful really.

I'm just glad my fierce attack on last place was crowned by success.
I think I'll share my one and only run with y'all.

Shows quite nicely what else can go wrong aside from the "standard" mistakes mentioned in this thread...

many thanks to Psykit, enjoyed the runs except for the crashes, fails, delays, and Commander Timber McWolf for beating me out of last spot.
May all who have enjoyed Elite for 40 yrs enjoy it for many yrs to come.

 

[Ozric]

Thank you to Psykit for organising the race and well done to Alec and Kevin I like that both Kevin and I improved on the last couple of days, but we couldn't quite catch you Alec, so congrats on being back on top of the podium in Regulation!
It was a good race and fun/frustrating in equal measures, but it was only really frustrating because the Hacienda moved around so much that it was impossible for me to work out how to approach it from the correct angle.

Thanks to psykit for hosting.
Looking forward to seeing some videos of runs (or bloopers, I'm told there were a few explosions).

Thanks for sharing. I think I learned something from this video.
I would have commented, but apparently, the video is set as a video for kids, which turns off comments.

I've just disabled comments so I don't have to deal with moderating them. My channel is basically just an archive for racing that I decided to make public so that everyone looking to learn how to do or not do something can find it. Glad you got something useful out of it.

I see. I haven't had any issues with comments, yet. But the comment counter for my videos is still on the bottom of the single digits.

Race post is finally up!

Ruby!

I had heard of Elite. It seemed to achieve legendary status even in the weeks and months after its September 1984 release. My BBC Micro owning friends had boasted to me at school about how brillian…
