The climax of a great season with a truely great and enjoyable race. I wish I'd seen more of season 4 but unfortunately personal issues caused me to miss most of it. Congratulations to Tak, Thulla, Kendar and all the pilots of VRT on your trophies. I will try to make it to the celebrations but unfortunately more personal issues will probably prevent me attending.
I'd like to wish a special thanks and congratulations to my team mate Dougalar, twice champion of the AF class. Often racing without any team mates at all she showed that even in the face of the mighty VRT Collective the smallest team in the league can still win a trophy. I hope you will be returning for season 5 and would be honoured to fly with you any time, any where.

Low security systems might add a little risk and spice things up, but going through Rancer (twice) goes too far.
Suffice to say this pilot won't be using the latest high-tech, fine tuned technology next season and won't be surprised if others are discouraged similarly. If that makes the races less exciting, then so be it, but it is brought about by the somewhat recklessness of the organisers in this case
If you don't have the balls that's your problem not the ISGC's. I was racing this week with two active Empire wars, the previous week during the faction frig race it was four or five. My enemies could have dropped on me at any point even in high sec. Did I refuse to race? Did I race a cheaper setup than usual? No, I was still there with a ship and implants worth over half a billion. With skill and courage any racer should be able to avoid being caught by gate camps.

Usually I'd agree, but Rancer is a special case imo. Is like jumping off a cliff and hoping the drop isn't too far, not really very clever nor skilled
Anyway, that aside I did enjoy the few races I took part in at the end of the season. Got some ideas as well how to improve without fancy mods and the like so will have to see how things go next season.
Also would like to re-iterate my offer to the ISGC about holding a race in Proivdence (0.0 region), which I'm sure would be a fantastic opportunity to show off the work that is being done in the region atm

On behalf of the Interstellar Gaming Consortium, it is with great pleasure to announce the champions of the fourth season of the ISGC:Racing League.
This season has been by far the most successful in the history of the League. With the implementation of custom teams, racers have formed their own units and are introducing the next generation of speed demons to the art of interstellar racing. With eleven teams and sixty pilots competing in fourteen events for over 1.3 billion ISK and prizes, the stakes were never higher for fortune and glory. Plenty of twists, turns, and surprising revelations from the racing community have made this experience memorable with the hope for many more to come as the League speeds on.
The following champions are to be commended for their skill, bravery, and tenacity during the fourth season of the League:
Thulla Icin INDIVIDUAL FRIGATE CHAMPION [Venture Racing Team] (124 pts)
HONORABLE MENTION Lucas Avignon [Scuderia Caille] (122 pts) Jasen Nightwing [Venture Racing Team] (116 pts)
Takashi Kurosawa INDIVIDUAL INTERCEPTOR CHAMPION [Venture Racing Team] (217 pts)
HONORABLE MENTION Kayleigh Jamieson [Dragonstar Racing Team] (188 pts) Quintrala [Scuderia Caille] (168 pts)
Dougalar INDIVIDUAL ASSAULT FRIGATE CHAMPION [Venture Racing Team] (159 pts)
HONORABLE MENTION Bastien Lazare [Scuderia Caille] (108 pts) Zelseus [Dirtside] (104 pts)
And now, the teams who earned the championship titles:
Venture Racing Team FRIGATE TEAM CHAMPIONS (199 pts)
HONORABLE MENTION Dirtside (187 pts) Scuderia Caille (165 pts)
Venture Racing Team INTERCEPTOR TEAM CHAMPIONS (221 pts)
HONORABLE MENTION Dragonstar Racing Team (203 pts) Scuderia Caille (182 pts)
M8S Racing Team ASSAULT FRIGATE TEAM CHAMPIONS (159 pts)
HONORABLE MENTION Dirtside (132 pts) Scuderia Caille (108 pts)
Congratulations to all of this season's winners. Especially Kazuo, who after many seasons finally managed to rid himself of a certain Navy Caracal.
On behalf of the Interstellar Gaming Consortium, I would like to thank our sponsors and all those pilots who participated in this season and helped shape the event to be as successful as it was. You all are what make these races so wonderful. We look forward to seeing you all next season along with many new faces in making the Racing League even better than the last.

As an unexperienced racer - Sinq Laison was my second race - I expected before the race that the route will never go through such a deadly place. So I was a little bit shocked when I read "Rancer Star" on a bookmark and considered for a moment to quit the race immediately remembering my early days when I got podded in a T1-frigate in Rancer losing a +3 implant set (they were expensive in those days and were a significant part of my assets).
But then I thought that my skills have improved, I have now warp-to-zero and a faster and more agile interceptor. So I decided quickly to take the risk also taking into account that ship and fittings weren't probably more worth than 50 Mil ISK. (With a value of half a billion or more my decision wouldn't have been the same, I think.)
The second crossing through Rancer I survived luckily with 10% armor.
It was funny to see that the whole racing field caused a little astonishment and confusion to the inhabitants of Rancer who perhaps never saw before a fearless race crossings their heavy gatecamps, as the following short conversion (remembered out of my head) in the local channel might prove:
Pirate/Antipirat?> May I ask you what you are doing here? Pirate/Antipirat?> I am talking to the frig/inties group. Pirate/Antipirat?> For your own safety I would suggest you not to fly and pirate around here! Racer> Racing. Pirate/Antipirat?> RACING ???
I don't want to forget to thank Gyra for the lot of work she spended to organize the race for such an affordable entry fee!
