The race is very simple. Start with you ship on the pad (facing the mailslot) at the Darkes High starport in Epsilon Eridani. When you're ready take off and head for the Barcelo Penal Colony on Mitterand Hollow ("the moon that lands on you") in the neighbouring Epsilon Indi system. Land within 1km of the penal colony and then take off again and head back to the Epsilon Indi system. Land at the Galiano Depot planetary outpost to finish. Your start time is the time shown on the HUD just before take off from Darkes High and your finish time is the time shown on the HUD immediately after landing at Galiano Depot.

To have your run timed automatically and get your name on the global leaderboard shown at the end you need to install the EDCoPilot virtual cockpit assistant (https://www.razzafrag.com/) and then pick the "Mitterand Hollow Landing Challenge" from the Time Trials list which can be accessed via the Places tab.

Fly fast commanders!

Hello there Commanders! I hope you are all well in this wonderful 2025;


When odi released, me and some friends dearly missed pomeche 2c and canyons in general, so I went on to scour the galaxy for some proper racing planet where i can blast some good punk and let that dirty drives scream baby. My favourite spot is without doubt the system: HR 5457, planet 3D. I remember my jaw dropping upon seeing the steep canyons and passages: its a blast to just casually fly at 800 plus meters per second in these ravines.

My friends and I had so many laps in the racetrack below and hopefully someone else will enjoy it too. when building it I had only two rules: it had to be fun and it had to be easy to find (as some friends of mine have a love/hate relationship with planet coordinates).


This is Mccabe racetrack:
For starters just head to McCabe Prospecting Territory (please fdev give us checkpoints creator and laptimes )

General safety guidelines:

1-Start line is between cucumber mountain and the settlement (you cant miss it).

2-Also make sure your hardpoints are not deployed (settlement security will shoot first ask later).

3-keep altitude below 500m for maximum danger My very personal review:

Difficulty:4/10 very simple with a small ship, but once you get the speed going you will have to time your boosts perfectly at the second and third turn. Incredible fun if you manage to do 10 or so laps with a group of cmdrs with one referee at the start.

Scenery: 6/10 pretty good sights when sunny! its an odissey rocky planet with beautiful sky.

Location: 8/10 its in the bubble, its a scoopable M star and it has many hours of daylight.

let me know if you liked it !
