Finish: Edras G-11, entering the sector is crossing the finish line. Race official will be in station to record your entry.
Route. You may not pass through Verasi O-7. A race official will be docked at the station to monitor the sector.
NOTE: The trident pilots are racing, nobody else. Support & escort ships do not need to be in starting or ending sectors, or registered, or identified. Support & escort ships are also not required.
Prize:
1st place gets 60% of the prize credits
2nd place gets 30% of the prize credits
3rd place gets 10% of the prize credits
NOTE: if only 2 finish, the distribution will be 65/35, sole finisher gets it all. Time limit is 15 minutes after the first trident crosses the line or 60 minutes from the start of the race. In the case of no winners the prize is carried over to the next race.

I heard this event was so elitist that nobody was eligible to turn up.
Is scheißhaus vectoring allowed?
@ Niki:
I don't know what vectoring is so I guess it's allowed.
@ TheRedSpy:
I found that the trident pilots were less interested than the other folks who wanted to join in, so I don't think the exclusionary nature of type of race was the problem. I think it was short notice plus the release of the PCB less that 24 hours before the race. But now that the powers of the PCB are no longer a mystery, I hope some trident pilots will come have some fun. I probably have lost more tridents than anyone in the game, the trauma fades. Plus there is no obligation for anyone to finish the race, they could retire from the field if things are not going well. After I run a few of these I hope to pass off the officiating responsibilities so I can join in myself.

Vectoring is what they call lag in Australia.
I'd love to participate but I'll probably be way out of cell phone data range on the 21st. Hopefully somebody videos the event. :)
