The Dublin Derby

[Highland Laddie]

What: Racing event
Where: Dublin system at the racing track near the HMS Hood
When: Saturday, June 14. 8:00 p.m. GMT
Who: lawful/quasi-lawful ships whose sponsors are not deemed hostile or at war with Bretonia.

Back-story:

In an effort to continue corporate growth and influence within Bretonia, while also promoting economic cooperation and friendly competition between both friends and rivals, Gateway Shipping has decided to sponsor a racing event in cooperation with the Independent Miner's Guild to help bring in life and money to help the war-economy (and Gateway's own coffers, of course).

Who can Participate:

-Ships must be considered non-hostile to Bretonia (pirates/terrorists will hopefully be kept away) (please...no Reavers...unless you're going to race).
-All participants must pay an entry fee of 2,000,000 credits, sent to Gateway|-GSX-Sapphire and should fill out the entry form below
-There will be 2 racing divisions: Freighters (cargo < 700 units)and Small/Medium Transports (cargo should not exceed 3,800). This reflects the "corporate" nature of Gateway, in wanting to see just how well pilots can fly the non-snubs. House corporations are particularly encouraged to attend.

The Race(s):
I'm still looking to iron out the details, but I would like to hold a series of heats of anywhere from 2-4 ships (depending on how many actually show up), where the winners will advance to the final heat, which will determine the final placing.

Prizes: Gateway will be putting up cash prizes in total of 100,000,000 credits as follows (betting on the side not included):

Freighter Division:
1st place: 50,000,000
2nd place: 25,000,000
3rd place: 10,000,000
4th-6th place: 5,000,000
