New Contender! Greydragon has entered the fray with the time of 3:35!

Check out his video! Can you best 5 minutes or even 3:35?

[LitaAlto]

How about 3:24?

[Jatwaa]

How about 3:24?

NICCEE! I must admit my last run was dreadful at 4 minutes flat, so this blows me out of the water!

[LitaAlto]

In all fairness to you, I was going with the bare minimum needed for the run. If I let either the engines or antigrav pods keep running just a minute longer, I would not have made it unscathed. That's why I killed the engines and let gravity do the work of slowing me down to land. Nonetheless I'm working on Cigare Volare Mk.2 for the next race....

And I posted my craft file if you want to look at it:

If only this challenge allowed jets with auto-hovering scripts...

I'm guessing FAR is a no-no? I despise stock aero.

P.S. While it's easier to go faster with FAR, it's also MUCH harder to control.

P.P.S. I will submit two entries anyway. One all stock (plus gravs) and one without limits (because you can't stop me).

P.P.P.S. I'm wondering if I can beat the 5 minute baseline time with my podracer...

P.P.P.P.S. Jatwa, you actually misspelled Foundries.

1. FAR is good to go, does let you go faster, just note if you are running FAR\NEAR

2. Go for IT! Why not?

3. Pod Racer eh? Rock it!

4. HA I keep doing that and catching it and didn't that time!

EDIT: I just realized that I screwed up. I'll redo the challenge.

EDIT2: And life got in the way and I didn't make the deadline. Fug.
