IKAO solar system Sunday May 12th 16:00 EVE time WebsitePublic channel FRIGATE RACE Mailing list SRV NEWS Video
Introducing the Standard Unlimited - Standard frigates, unlimited equipment!
Anyone has an opportunity to win, and registration is FREE FREE FREE!
Ship Restrictions: Standard frigates. (No faction, T2 etc.)
This restriction exists for several reasons. To level the playing field between newer and older pilots, as well as preventing someone from showing up and making a complete fool of themselves when they realise their 8 000m/s interceptor is too fast to navigate the race track.
Module Restrictions: Anything goes.
Why? Because the difference between T1, T2, and faction equipment on a T1 racing frigate is not huge, and we don't want the overhead of having to scan every contestant to enforce compliance.
Prizes:
First place: 100 million ISK Second place: 50 million ISK Third place: 10 million ISK
To sign up for the race simply send an eve-mail to Julius Rigel with your character name and your team name.
You don't have to be on a "real" team to compete. Your team name can be anything you want it to be, within reason. But if you are part of a racing team, your captain will probably want you to sign up under your proper team name.
If you are looking for a team to join, or you have any other questions, ask around in channel FRIGATE RACE.

And so it begins, again! The thrill of sub-warp racing returns to my life. I've missed this so much!
I plan to race and I hope to see some worthy opponents on the track.

The video linked in the original post explains how the racing works. [Link]
Also, there are videos of actual races recorded some years ago from our stream. The footage is a little more raw and janky, but it shows proper racing with proper contestants, including some beginners who didn't have a clue what they were doing . Also, it's an older format of race track. We use gates now instead of these big hulking bend things. [Link] Do YOU like to undock? |

Oh, I missed sub-warp racing so much !
Was eating an ear off of everyone I talked to about the thrill of racing when I was at the egonics soundscape conference last week. |

Thanks again. Do YOU like to undock? |

Great fun was had. And we saw an, for me at least, unexpected winner. Congratulations Eko'mo !
My analysis : the track's made for accuracy, not speed. |

This was a blast, so good! Definitely a regular thing for me now. Strongly encourage people to try it. Chuck some mission loot mods on a T1 frig and get out there.
Big thanks to Julius for setting this up and the track marshals. http://ekolikecrayons.wordpress.com/about/ |

If you are at all interested in a little New Eden sportsmanship with a strong element of pilot skill(not the kind you can count or get implants for) I suggest you get out to the track and try your hand at it. |

Much fun was had, hilarious fun at times: the false start at "Oi", me looping the finish 2 times and still finishing first. Lessons were learned, and I look forward to the next race. I'm glad to see there were indeed worthy opponents on the track. I am now more motivated to regain my skills.
I thank the organizer, marshalls, racers and spectators.
Congratulations, Eko'mo.
