Is anyone trying to make this more official? The past races have been amazing and could draw a huge crowd :D

There are a select few of us still pushing this along... Problem is we have a difficult time getting the 4 Capt. needed to help us explore and create new maps... Speaking of which... Jace, I would like to get back into the labyrinth, to test out some different track Ideas that I have.... I would love to get more people in on this, Maybe get you to stream it one of these days qwerty :P

Can't Jace just get one other captain and put his alternates in the other slots?

I'll do my best to contribute.  Testing pilots' skill, rather than the gunners or engineers, is something I quite enjoy.

Getting into a 2v2 map to explore should never be a problem.  Just let me know and I'll set that up.

As for making squid racing more official and organizing events I'm stumped.  What is a good day and time?  Can someone put a poll question on here or make a new thread with a poll question?

Could be set up something like this:
check your availability.
Mon
Tue
Thu
Fri
Sat
Sun
After noon US/evening EU/morning AUS
Evening US/morning EU/afternoon AUS
Morning US/afternoon EU/evening AUS

I use the term morning VERY broadly

If you build it they will come :D
Seriously this event is super fun so if you make a post with a confirmed time and date people will turn up to play :D
Also I would love to stream this event as it would make for a great change of pace.

If I can help in any way just let me know

1:13:10 for squid race.
notes:
qwerty missed the ghost tower at 1:16:26
(during the practice lap qwerty lost control of the ship and missed the last 2 obstacle descriptions)
at 1:17:29 flew over the railroad bridge
at 1:17:39 did not circle the cage

In the video they came up with a great idea, Pilot licenses.

So get your Pilots license for the CANYON TRACK 1 and FJORDS TRACK 1 by PMing me and we will meet in game for your certification.

If you would like be be a referee with me (i will ref most of the time and could use help) PM me

If you have an idea for a track PM me so we can make the map and video for it.

If you want to set up an official squid race PM me.
