Live races 2026

[dreadnaut]

Inspired by previous successful seasons, let's get the live-racing calendar lined up!

I propose four events for 2026: first weekend of March and August, 3rd weekend of May and October.

For experience, two organisers for each event works best. So if you are interested in running a live race but you've never organised one, sign up in this thread and we can pair you up with more experience folks for support!

Possible calendar:

• 28th Feb / 1st Mar - @alanrotoi  and ??
  
• 30th / 31st May - @Overdrijf  and @Erik Barros
  
• 1st / 2nd Aug - @Cas and ??
  
• 17th / 18th Oct - ?? and ??

I want to organize a live race! It depends on the time but there are more possibilities for me in Jan/Feb/March. 2025 was a very busy year! I'll keep you informed.

[Overdrijf]

Yes, we need more of these!

I can do... May? With or without someone else.

[dreadnaut]

Thanks folks, I also love these events! I'll add you to the list for March and May, and it'd be great if you could pair up with another person — nice to have a backup, and share the organising skills!

[Cas]

I could be in the August one. Let's see who teams up with me there

[dreadnaut]

Thank you Cas, added to the list at the top

[Erik Barros]

With or without someone else.

I would be happy to be a co-organizer, and I can even co-organize the other dates if the spots aren't filled and if the organizers agree

[Overdrijf]

With or without someone else.

I would be happy to be a co-organizer

Sounds good! We'll be in touch about it.

28th Feb / 1st Mar - @alanrotoi  and ??

I still don't understand whether this stage will take place given such a busy schedule of other competitions? Is it advisable to carry it out next week?

[dreadnaut]

I'd love to! Still, it depends if @alanrotoi has time to organise

[alanrotoi]

It must be on Sunday 1st of March because its the only free day of the weekend for me. I'll make the announcement in the following days but I can spoil it will be a two stage race to complete the Midnight Desert Rally.

[Duplode]

Great! My personal schedule remains a bit messy these days, but I'll show up for sure on Sunday!

[dreadnaut]

Great! @alanrotoi, are you busy these days? Do you need someone to help with finding a time slot, etc?

[Victor Narl]

16th / 17th May - Overdrijf  and ??

There's supposed to be an online race scheduled soon, but I don't know if @Overdrijf will be hosting it and with whom? @alanrotoi, could you help Overdrijf host this online race?

[alanrotoi]

I have no problem to assist him. I'll ask him what ideas he have and how I can help.
