Once again, Jestatis Bess threw in 2M to raise the sponsor prizes. Thank you Jess.

We had only four racers, mostly because the Tube Race happened right after a very intense (and fun) capship battle in Sedina B8, so players were distracted by it. Well, the more events the better, actually, even if I'd prefer to reduce the overlap to a minimum.

We used all five sectors (B, D, E, F and H), leaving out the Maze. Still thinking that the Maze can be used only when there are exclusively veterans in the rooster.

The racers:

Mick (UIT/PA), definitely the tube pilot to beat.
Maiz Man (UIT/PA), very quick track racer.
Ecka Estenk (UIT/TGFT), the only player known to have mined out an asteroid. :)
Elbryon (itani/ITAN), his first race, but very promising.

The results:

Mick: 1, 1, DNS, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1: 90 pts - first place, 4M
Maiz: 2, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2: 66 pts - second place, 2.5M
Ecka: 3, 3, 2, 4, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4: 37 pts - third place, 1.5M
Elbr: 4, 4, 3, 3, 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3: 36 pts

The standings may suggest a very boring event, but on the contrary the gaps were actually quite small. Mick didn't start the third lap (D5/1). The competition between Ecka and Elbryon was always very, very tight. For this reason, PA gave to Elbryon an encouragement prize of 1M.

See you next friday. Same time, and around same sectors.
