About Elite Racing
Welcome to EliteRacers, the underground racing club that originated in the Sol Sector. Unlike Buckyball circuits, Elite Racers do not use faster-than-light travel. Expensive and highly dangerous, Elite Racing has quickly grown into the most exciting and death-defying sport in the Elite Dangerous galaxy. We believe racing has a place in Elite and have created a community that fits in with or without roleplay.
We're always looking for fresh courses to race. If you find a cool place to fly, submit it here!
Thanks for checking out the subreddit, and remember....Fly Dangerously, Commanders.

Upon boarding their ships, racers will return to the base for the ship segment.

It is with great pleasure that I announce hosting my first racing event, this coming Saturday, December 23rd, at 18:00 UTC. We're going to throwback to the roots of Elite Racers with a classic Orbis Station Race at the legendary Fisher Terminal in Okinura! So it's time to put on your racing pants and slap a fresh coat of Go-Fast Red™️ on your ship! Hope to see you there!

Looking to race
Heyo, I'm back in the game. After a few years of being away I'm finally out of space prison and got my ship out of impound. I only EMP'd Zachary Hudson's flagship with a Thargoid probe for a laugh but he took it way too seriously. Anyway I'm back and itching for a race. Anything planned? If not I've been cooking up a good canyon race at Farseer Inc. in Deciat. Working on a map of the course right now and I'll post it soon. Hanging out there for the time being doing trial runs if anyone wants to join in. Fly Dangerously o7
