It seems Events are returning in force, so will the Galactic Racing Championship !
Races will be held usually on weekend morning(US)/midday(EU). Exact time may vary of a few hours every week but will be announced at least 5 days prior to an event being held. I know it is early but that's the only time i can be 95% sure i am available.
Like for the last time, there will be no official registration required, racers can join-in at any event during the Championship. Of course, the ones who start racing sooner have a greater chance of scoring the highest championship points.
It will be a much simplified version than the one we had last year, just look how the instructions are shorter :
- No weapons allowed except against NPCs. Any ship or equipment is allowed.
- The schedule will be much stricter than before : The time announced will be the time i give the "GO". Ypu be ready in advance or miss the race. If less than 3 racers are present, the race will be rescheduled.
- Courses will be either of :
=== Endurance : across a few systems with required checkpoints (check your reputation with the faction where the race starts, checks and finishes).
=== Sprint : in marked courses (coloseum, dublin) with a defined number of laps.
- Racers will be awarded points for finish as follows : 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8 , 6, 4, 2, 1. Each point gives you 1M credits also (ie : 25M for the winner). DNF gives 0 points. Championship positions 1st, 2nd and 3rd will be awarded : 100M, 50M and 25M at the end of the Championship.
Results will also be simpler because i dont wanna be spending hours again formatting the tables after every event. Only the first 3 leaders will be identified in the full result table and its won't be sorted by the championship position but by the championship entry.
