Alpine Endurance Race

Recommended Posts

Drive a stock rover from the top of a 6000 meter mountain to the top of a 6500 meter mountain, through mountainous terrain the entire way.

Starting point: somehow get your vehicle to the following coordinates. Ideally using alt-F12 cheat.

Start Lat: -68.55, Lon: -27.22

Your goal is to reach the mountain at coordinates

Finish Lat: -74.40 Lon: -17.53

 

That route is roughly 100 km depending on exactly how you go.

Vehicle design rules:

1. Rovers must not use propellers, jets, rockets, parachutes (including Kerbal EVA chutes), reaction wheels (including cockpit torque) or RCS thrusters.

2. Rovers must be Kerballed.

3. Rovers may use aerodynamic and control surfaces to any extent desired, so long as they do not constitute a propellor/rotor in function or usage.

4. No mod parts. DLC is fine. Including BG motors.

5. No exploit-powered thrusters.

 

 

Entry rules:

1. The run officially starts just before you descend below 6000 meters. Make sure the time is set to UT, not MET! when taking your screenshots/video. And your screenshot needs to be strictly at or above 6000. Not 5999.

2. The run officially ends when you break 6500 meters and have at least one part of the rover on the ground. Again be sure to show UT, not MET. This is how your time will be measured.

3. Dropping below 2000 meters is disqualifying. Pay special attention when driving through the less snowy area of the course. There is one correct route there and it's the highest, furthest west one.

4. Quicksave is heavily encouraged. Including Alt-F5 multiple quicksaves. I will be thoroughly surprised if anyone beats this unspliced.

I'll post the whole Imgur set tomorrow once I sort through all the screenshots. For now though, I'll have you know that Summer Kerman has completed the run in 1 hour, 2 minutes, and 16 seconds with her vehicle... mostly intact. I probably could've driven more aggressively the first third to half of the run, as the first quicksave I actually needed was stop 12 out of 25. Then again, stopping to quicksave does waste precious seconds.
