Caldari Championship! Cant wait 
Only restriction i saw was that you cant have a negative standing towards the Caldari State when the chanpionship starts. Seems like its open to all .

I doubt that. Especially when it passes by someone's territory. You cant tell them to leave for the day. GM intervention will make poeple mad. At least it would me.
If it was through empire then fine, but it says it spans most of the known universe.
  
thats what they did with the amarr championships

Originally by: Sinist Yeah but the Amarr championship was in 1 system.
This will amount to whoever can come up with the biggest blob so noone can contest their blockade of race routes.
An event catered to the large alliances maybe?
It could be 150 jumps around one of the unconnected regions (e.g. Jove space), that way noone can interfere.

My agents have forgotten all about me, so I doubt i'll be racing. Might do other things to be involved though 
This is not a hijack

If you can't get through an alliance blockade during this race, clearly you don't deserve to win it. ------------- My salsa makes all the pretty girls want to dance and take off their underpants. I <3 ( . Y . ) |

so basicly we're gonna have 800 crows/raptors (or vigils/claws/stilettos if other race ships are allowed) equipped with full overdrives and microwarpdrives+afterburners racing across 150 jumps without even looking at eachoter cause firing at someone will make you lose time and its not really worth it.
Who ever gets lucky (and doesnt CTD/lose connection) and loads fast wins the race.
What would be best would be to give out the route waypoints one by one while the race goes on. This would pretty much limit blockades.
But there wont be much fighting anyway, since everyone will be equipped for pure speed and no one will be able to get a lock on anyone before they warp/jump. Only chance is that if people set up blockades with medium mobiles + bombageddons on the route, in which case everyone will die immediatly (except the guy thats friends with the blockaders), save those who chose to race with battleships or cruisers. They would die a few seconds later.
This is all assuming that the route goes public before the race.
But no jumping to conclusions :P Its not final yet and i bet there's a catch to it all anyway.

Errr since this will be annouced in advance, you can bet your ass on it that people know what time they need to be active and ready to set up a camp.

Originally by: Joshua Calvert There are multiple classes, viceroy, so I think it won;t ALL be frigates.
It says "All ships, modules etc." are allowed on the championship page though. And even if not, I'd prefer to mwd towards a gate with my armageddon instead of firing at the guy next to me and waiting 90 seconds to jump through.
And either way, there's still instajump bookmarks. Bye Bye race, welcome to nanofiber/warpcore and dual microwarpdrive land.
But again, its not final yet so i'm guessing they'll change a lot of things before the event starts (which is like 1 month away), no need to mega-whine about it right away. -

As creator of DUI Racing, I'm delighted to see that racing has finally become noticed enough that the Caldari have created a state-sponsored racing championship. Heck, I'll even join this one if Gallente are allowed!
Wonder what the 1st prize for this race will be... ---------------------
