Sounds awesome. Multiple ships on the same course sounds like beautiful chaos, especially if there are asteroids/mines in the way.

Echoing above, safety/flags could be difficult to implement so a simpler ruleset might be easier, but you could try a few different tests to see what works. Less GMs means less overhead and we can just focus on the racing. Also +1 to using different ships.

In terms of the course, having dangerous locations like stars/planets/minefields in the way would be nice as it would promote risk/skill (how close do you dare flying to the corona to shave a few seconds off your time etc) as opposed to just flying from point to point.

Count me in if this ends up becoming a thing, I'm definitely keen to try some racing.
