ok, so this is going to be the very first advertorial i’m doing in Godspotted, but unsurprisingly, it’s not too much of a stretch to spot God here too…
I’m talking about the Northern Adventure Race is a Point to Point Race with Checkpoints. (Manila – Baguio – San Fernando, La Union – Dagupan – Subic)
The goal is to reach the Finish Line with the least time and within the limits of the law. A minimum time from point to point shall be set by Race Director using a theoretical computation between distance and maximum speed limits.
Every minute under theoretical time will mean incurring a penalty of plus 5 minutes.
(I find this race cool and different because instead of racing to set the least time to get to one point to another, a time has already been set, and you must comply to it. Not to beat it, but to do your darndest to meet it, or at least come close. I got a bit confused on the rule that states that you get a penalty if you’re ahead of the time! This requires a different kind of precision driving, and if you’re up for the challenge, this will be awesome.
Kinda like God’s laws and standards, huh? We don’t make the call, the standards have been set. I think this is a lot harder than going out there and setting the standards ourselves.)
Anyway, here are the Mechanics:
