I've started practicing for this:

It does cost you a few rebuys here and there, but Eagles are dirt cheap, and the track does get the adrenaline flowing. I wish Fdev would make us a proper racetrack with timing in-game, but this is as close as it gets.

Wow, that's a very cool idea, Cmdr We
Can't hurt to suggest it to FD

I think something similar has been suggested several times. Some of the large installations or the QCQ track could also be used. I've never figured out what Fdev said.
At least the Eagle is getting there.
Now it's just practice. The hardest parts are the mailslot 180 and the landing, and I've yet to do a set of laps without ramming thingies.

Taking a few days off from training up my new crew to get away from it all.So if it all kicks off in Colonia in the meantime it may well be down to the mistresses of mirth,mischief and mayhem,(well she's darn good with a needle,and she's had me in stitches) that constitute my crew.I shall be interested to see how they get on on their own.I've a feeling they'll do fine.I' m often wrong.

Yes,some of those installations are worth having a go at. There's one in the bubble Driveyards?Can't remember the system name offhand,its a BRC track.it's there all year round.and the services are a short hop for re-tuning engines.Or Pomeche if you like wheeeeeels.

This is hilarious! I tumble around inside the station trying to boost out the mailslot. 
Once outside, with FAon, boost turning works just fine, once you get a sense of the ships inertia vs them sweeet EP thrusters. Did two almost perfect laps, only hitting the back wall of the station while doing the 180, holy spaghetti! Hit the wall pretty hard with the rear end of the tiny ship, but the shields ate all of the impact, which then sent me straight towards the mailslot. Now this is racing!
All seemed to sum up, and I had already requested docking deciding to land hard but determined, when boost turning towards the slot, BAAM! SPARKS! TUMBLE! regain control and some consciousness, and then someone smacked a fine on my forehead!
Gotta try that a couple of times more! Just need to pay that fine first!
Even the paint is cheap when -Eagle. This will be my dedicated racer calledEnzo Reckless Fly. Who needs jump range anyways?

Hmmm. Is it just me, or should "large" ships look, well, bigger?
And another thing, whoever said FD likes the colour orange?
And lastly, a lesson learnt: one should not assume SCA will be A Good Thing. While developing the above photo's, I suddenly heard the sickening noise of a ship - MY ship - going into plantary orbit at warp speed because the SCA AI isn't clever enough to avoid such massive objects. 37K credits in hull repairs because the algo's are missing from the code. Bah.*
* Gosh. Is that the first bit of salt I've written on these forums? It was on my to do list

Scaffolding stopping the 'fairy dust' hull dropping to pieces in the gravity well.
It's landing gear. Anaconda has a lot of it.
Sorry panic over....did the logout and re log to not horizons. Recovered to orbit. then logged out and re logged into horizons.
All mats and srv are safe in orbit. Heading back to safety of the bubble to the nearest mat trader. A new phantom needs engineering.
