Great Video about the race!!-

and the whole route - ;)
Videos Curtosey of the amazing Valena T-Jay :)


We have organised a few races in the past, but this one is the one we love to do ! it took weeks and weeks of preparation to get everything to click into place. I hope you will all have as much fun racing it as we have had organising it!


Some points of interest about this race and route ( that may be useful to you :wise:)


The Boat race;

You will begin on the bridge at New Switzerland. here you will board your speedboat and await the countdown and fire of the rocket launcher. You will speed off at full throttle around the twisty bends and shallow waters. Watch out! Argo about! These are swimming Argo, who will go after you and your boat, armour or running shoes are advised.

You will beach your boat either beside the Aircraft if you managed to get the boat that far, or you will have abandoned it in the ever shallowing waters and ran for your life.

The Aircraft will all be lined up, gleaming in the sun, get in as fast as you can and take to the air as you speed towards the final stage. Chose wisely, too low and you will hit the trees, too high and you will lose precious seconds.

Landing at the race track you will see the race cars all lined up. Get in and race around the track as fast as those little wheels will take you.

The track is a big circle, you will be being followed by some aircraft who will be making sure that you are at least semi following the circle shape. You can cut corners, but be warned, we have done this route many a time, and cut all the corners you can cut, most of them will slow you down. The terrain is rough out there, trees, logs, stumps, cliffs and rocks could end any chance you had at victory.

You will zoom around the track and veer off to the finish line, where the after party is waiting for you with the prizes.

Good Luck Racers!!!



We are pleased to announce that John Black Knight is going to provide us with some of his lovely aircraft for the race.

Thanks John !

JBK's Fleet
Quick tip - John, Sasha and myself are providing the vehicles. This means if you manage to flip the car or somehow you cant complete the race with the vehicle, Game over!!

This makes it interesting as you have to be fast.... but carefull!!!



Map and description curtosey of the beautiful Sasha.


This does require a little explination...

Sea
The green line represents the first leg. This starts where it says "start" and ends where it says "end 1". There is a little bridge by the the teleport at the start, the boats will be lined up there for your racing goodness. When the race starts you will increase to warp speed along the river to the east following the route to the north, around the curve finishing at a little beach where the planes will be waiting for your boarding pleasure.
Warning! The river is shallow and windey, there are argo here too, if you get grounded you will be attacked!

Air
After heriocly fighting off all the misunderstood argonaut you will be in your seconded aircraft for the second leg of the race. This is on the map as a blue line. This will take you from where it says "end 1" to where it says "end 2". Avoiding the trees you will need to take the most direct route to compete with your fellow racers There is a small crossing with a road on it where you will find your vehicles for the third and final leg of the race.

Land
The yellow route shows the final leg of the race. This is from where it says "end 2" to where it says "finish". You will need to go around the track in an ANTI clockwise direction (counter clockwise). It is one lap. Because you are all very comeptative we do not expect you to take the exact track i.e we anticipate you trying to take shortcuts. This is fne so long as you go around the track in the most part. We know how long this route takes, if you come back to quickly you will be disqualified. Conversly you only have 10 minutes with the vehicles so don't take to long! Shortcuts are also known to be bumpy, rolling the vehicle would be a shame.
GO GO GO
It is recomended to go and practice on this route! It is not as easy as it sounds. Any questions, please ask, if you need more information then please let Alaina or myself know and we will gladley post it here.

Happy racing, Sasha


We are also looking for cheerleaders, party people, ground crew, screenshotters are anyone else wanting to have great fun!

After the prize giving we will be heading up to space for a party on motherhsip Normandie, where the celebrations will continue long into the night!

Could you clarify this part a little? It would be helpful to know the specifics before hand, as one person's interpretation of this could be quite different from another's, I imagine. :laugh:

Also, will the racers be requesting Sleipnir and car permissions for each event vehicle before the race, or will this take place during the race? I ask because the driver permissions have to be added manually once vehicle access has been granted, so this could affect the outcome by a few seconds if it will take place during the race.

Anyhow, this sounds like great fun! I hope to be there.
 
Age of Enlightenment !! Yay!!

Awesome video!!..Right On I love those races..GO AOE!!..:yay::wtg: I'm In!!

Id love to :) For the boat race and the air race there is a set route. There is no way of cutting any corners here.

When it comes to the car race, as you can see from the map it is roughly a circular circuit ( very roughly :silly2:)
There are points along this route, where you can for example drive over a cliff rather than going around it. If you do this, you have a 50% chance of landing on your roof , and as its not your car, you will lose the race. If you make it, you have gained a few seconds :)

Other parts include cutting out a hair pin bend, but.... there are ALOT of trees , rocks and stumps in the way. What you need to add up is wether or not it will cost you in the long run to cut these corners.

What we will not tolerate is cutting right across the route. For example going from 1 oclock to 9 oclock on the map. This however is very difficult anyway... as there is a mountain in the middle ;)

We have found in the past as a general rule, you are quicker to stick to the track on this route, as the off road hazzards outway the benifits. :)

Air support wil be following the cars, just to ensure everyone roughly follows the track :)
Also, will the racers be requesting Sleipnir and car permissions for each event vehicle before the race, or will this take place during the race? I ask because the driver permissions have to be added manually once vehicle access has been granted, so this could affect the outcome by a few seconds if it will take place during the race.
.

Super valid question, in the testing stages of these races, we found that there is only one smooth way to do this. We must ensure all racers have access to all vehicles before the race starts ( apart from the boats as they will be in them ready to go anyway).

So what we do is make a racing team. Whilst in team our 2 very hard working race officials John and Sasha will be adding every member of the team to every vehicle. Its no mean feat, but these two are pros ;)

So when you arrive at stage 2 and 3, you already have access to any vehicle you come across :)

Simplez!!
Anyhow, this sounds like great fun! I hope to be there.

Fantastic, ill add you to the list :)
 
Thanks for the answers, sounds like this course has been well thought out. :D

- Yes All competitors are added to all vehicles. You can jump in which ever one you please ( this is where the hard work from JBK and Sash comes in :) - but they know what they are doing ;) )
