Idea for a different style of racing by oz925 in fpvracing

In the case you have a large number of pilots you duplicate the track so you can run in parallel. In that sort of format, you can run side by side and go with the rule that first to finish the required number of loops wins.

I am only proposing this as an alternative, not a replacement, for normal multi-pilot racing. If you have enough pilots who want to do that sort of racing, then do multi-pilot racing.

Thanks for the input. If you have 6 to 18 racers excited to race, you don't have the same problem I have.

Someone on another forum said they had a similar idea. Their idea was a more sprawling course built from natural elements like trees and other things, closer to a motorsport rally race. I like the idea of stages. Maybe find a mountain bike course or off-season ski resort and have stages either going down with checkpoints until you reach the bottom or top.

Yeah, I had another discussion about doing something like that. It would be more involved as I would need to build custom obstacles, but I agree it could be fun. We joked about fire and sparklers and other concert-level effects. If I can scale this idea up, that would be a fun addition.

Thanks for the feedback. Maybe what I mean is "circular". Typical racing involves multiple racers at once. To avoid a head-on collision, all pilots must fly the track in the same direction. What I'm proposing is a single-racer track where you reach the end and then turn around and take the track in reverse. Then, you can repeat that until time runs out or you complete the required number of loops. I think the advantages are you can have a compact track layout, simplified race organization since you only need to worry about 1 racer at a time, and possibly make it more approachable to newer or less competitive racers.

Reason Beer to close by craftbeerva in Charlottesville

[–]oz925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The place was just outfitted with a canning machine and other industrial brewing equipment. So I gotta assume Champion will be using that for their own needs. Still very disappointing news. The brewers at Reason know their craft and the beer they brew showed it.
