Nice event, guys!

Despite saying on the Frontier Forums that I was only going to spectate this I changed my mind at the last minute and had a go at the race, but I hadn't realised each participant had to have a "Go" order from a referee and I don't use TeamSpeak so I probably didn't qualify anyway. I just watched the in-game chat for others going, then I followed.

It was still a laugh though. Amazing how much one can screw up perfectly normal activities when the pressure is on. I overshot several landing pads, completely missed Leesti from the itinerary and had to backtrack, and I forgot what commodity I was meant to buy at one point...

One suggestion for similar future events: make it so you're not allowed to do any hull repairs at the space station. I had several prangs that would have left me flying a collander by the end of the trip if I hadn't kept repairing, and it would have made the whole thing a lot more edge-of-the-seat if I'd been forced to carry on flying with the damage.

FWIW this was my run, 40 minutes and 50 seconds, with some of the dull bits sped up:


Edit: link edited to point to new version of video, this time with all of the dull bits sped up :)

Well, crap, I didn't catch that bit. I was too slow, with a couple detours, but it was fun anyway.
It's time to give this another go.

There was no "Go" order, so you are fine! :)

Bloody hell, I only logged in to edit my video link and to thank Wolf for the info about not having to wait for a "go" signal. That result is quite stunning considering the piloting and navigation SNAFUs I made on the flight. I'm guessing the FA Off departures/arrivals and planetary approaches shaved enough off to make up for them. There wasn't much in it, though. If Roger hadn't hit the slot on his first departure it might have been a different story. :)
