It’s not the Hurston Hurt Locker or the Daymar Rally; it’s an entirely different community-led racing event in Star Citizen known as the Crux Cup, an hour-long endurance race that’s coming back to the game this coming Sunday, March 20th.
This year’s race will take place at Orison on a course known as the Ahumahi Ring, a circuit that will have four mandatory tunnel segments linked together by track section names like Butter the Bread and the Gentleman’s Mile. The Crux Cup will have three disciplines: Acrux, which is a classic race for the fastest time; Open, which lets any ship into the grid; and Aurora, which is limited to the titular Aurora line of ships.
The event is promising “epic prizes” and has opened an official Discord for those interested in joining in. According to Star Citizen’s Twitter account, practices are being held every weekend until race day. In the meantime, there’s a very drowsy-sounding course preview video and a far more energized sizzle reel below.
