The Hutton Truckers are busy arranging their next major event, with the inaugural endurance race for the Hutton Cup. You can see the original forum post here, or you can read on below to find out more about the event from the organisers themselves.



"Ladies and gentlemen, after weeks of research and planning, our team have returned with information on a route for the next big mission from Hutton Orbital.



The dates for the race will be released over the next few weeks and you'll have time to get training. This challenge is hard. Following the Hutton Run CG and the GIMPP exploration run (from which commanders are STILL returning), we are launching a multi-SRV endurance challenge.



We have located a planet with locations just under 600km apart. The start of the race is on the level, but it soon descends into craters and then a mountain range before levelling back out for the finish line.



We will be inviting player groups to enter multi-vehicle teams. At the start, they will be allocated some cargo, which between them they will need to truck to the destination using SRV's.



Teams can act as relays, to allow players in different time zones to play together. You can bring spare SRV's and plenty of repair and refuel materials and pause for "pit stops" to change vehicles or hand over to team-mates.



The route takes 12-14 hours to drive. Are you tough enough? Do you want your team to bring home the Hutton Cup and have your name engraved on it?



Over the next few weeks we will be releasing details, including the route so you can get planning your path through the mountain range. We will have a flyby video of the route to help you.



If you die and your teammates can't carry on for you, you lose.... (or start again). The regs will be published along with the route.



All entrants who make the journey, even if they don't win will be sent a Hutton Orbital Truckers patch for their suit. We are also recruiting for a handful of marshals from varied time zones to act as support ships.



So. the Hutton Cup. Are you tough enough? If you're interested, comment below and we'll add you to the list.



The planet is 0.17g, the racing starts on the flat, circumnavigating (or driving into) craters, some of which are 20km across. It rises into rolling hills and then after 370km into treacherous mountains!"
