Yes, racing exists in Elite and yes it's awesome -- but accessible it is not.
This project aims to provide a ground-up reimplementation of a similar-enough flight model to provide a training ground and common set of tools to track leaderboards, ghosts and general tom-foolery. Feedback is extremely welcome!

- Laps 1 start block, checkpoints, lap counter
- Leaderboards with automatic replay / ghost upload via Steam
- Download and race against ghosts
- Basic Multiplayer

- Infinite terrain generation
- Freeplay flight, seed generation
Planned:
- Record + share racetracks (format implementation supports it, needs in-game tools)
- Watch own or downloaded replays from various camera angles etc
- Multiplayer game modes for races and small-scale tournaments
