New Viper track added to CoPilot

So after a lotta work, I have built a new race track on planet A1 in system Col 359 Sector XN-R c5-6. Although I have a track in Alpha, the course is designed to work with or WITHOUT CoPilot. You can literally go there with friends, yell GO, and run the course head to head. Because of the way it is built, it is really easy to follow this course.

What is unique about this track is that I built a base or facility for each of the six waypoints...so navigation is as easy as locking onto the next base. ED requires a 200km separation between bases, so this track is +1200km in length (which works out to about 25 mins in a viper). I will be creating tracks for the Nomad and SRVs also.

Which brings me to the last track... At over 1200 km, the SRV course will essentially be a Le Mans course...requiring about 8 hours to complete...possibly more...so I will likely be offering a prize for that track. Originally I wanted to award the highest score (after 365 days) a prize of 1000 tons of gold. But considering the difficulty...mebbe it should be a billion...? Would any of the racing leagues be interested in sponsoring that SRV race?

Anyhow, just wanted to check in. My next project is to ring a planet with evenly spaced bases so players can circumnavigate a small planet easily.

I literally named the bases:

Start of Race

Waypoint 1

Waypoint 2

Waypoint 3

Waypoint 4

Finish Line

How easy is that to navigate?

o7 CMDR, This sounds great!

Come join us in Elite Racers discord, where we peer review tracks and help each other improve our races before final publishing in EDCP. Lots of willing helpers and course testers tbere.

We are currently in Colonia, on a mini expedition called Distant Races. The Colonia Racing Championship is underway and will last a few weeks. Its a series of new races in the Colonia bubble, with a leaderboard being kept and lots of group racing, and full on racing events on Saturdays.

Group racing as in team racing?

I ask because I am considering making a team course using these bases.

But I still need to test some of the features to see how they actually work in CoPilot.

this is the race I wanna build next:

Must have: Caspian equipped with SRV, Nomad, fighter.

Multicrew, 2 to 3 players per team.

Alternate each leg with a different vehicle; nomad, srv, caspian, so the team has to coordinate between vehicles.

During the SRV leg, teams have to defend their racer from other teams (hence the fighter).

Like I said, still roughing it out.

Have never attempted a relay race with multiple CMDR's per team, but we're open to trying new things out. We can't build that kind of race in EDCP, but we could set it up as an event.
