    Ok thanks a lot! I will try to improve this by the time the tournament live stream begins @Geekpride

    You asked for a test on this. I'm sorry, but at the minute this isn't too good. It fails to finish sometimes, getting stuck looping round a ring, and even when it does finish it sometimes misses rings. Currently clocking a time of 1:29, which is a bit slow. So, what can you do to make this better? There were four issues. First, because your engines are quite slow to power up, the plane is slow to start accelerating up. This isn't necessarily a big problem, the plane does recover from it well, but it is slowing your time. Second, and your biggest problem, is a lack of pitch control. You seem to have made a really tiny control surface on your horizontal stabiliser, I'd recommend either making it bigger or adding a canard wing at the front to improve your pitch control. It's really important for this race, you have to make quite tight turns, so being able to quickly go into a climb or dive is required for good performance. Third, the wings and stabiliser seem a bit insecure. There's a big dive, followed by a rapid change to level flight. Your plane can manage it, but the wings start flapping, which might be slowing you down. Fourth - and a nice easy one - you're carrying way too much fuel. This finishes with 93% fuel left, so you can carry a lot less fuel and make your plane lighter, which should help performance. I know this seems like a lot, and I hope it doesn't sound too critical. I know it's just because you can't test except on the Steam version, and you're struggling because of that. Still, I hope this was helpful.
