???? SKYLINE — AN UPDATE TO ALL DRIVERS

Skyline Monday, 8/24/2026


Months have passed since we first announced our tournament, and today, we can finally say this with pride:

THE WORLD IS COMING TO THE SKYLINE. ?????????????

From different countries and different corners of the world, drivers have stepped up and sent their entries all the way to Africa. And to every single driver who took the time, effort, and expense to get their car on its way to us — THANK YOU. ??

We truly appreciate every one of you.

Getting these entries here hasn't been easy either. Some of you may not know the battle that happened behind the scenes with customs. ???? Our entries arrived in Africa, but customs decided to make things interesting! Instead of simply looking at what we paid, they valued some of the cars based on their eBay selling prices for taxation. ????

That made clearing the cars a little more expensive than expected, but we didn't give up.

We pushed through.

We cleared them.

And one by one, more and more cars are arriving at the SKYLINE. ?????????

?? BUT NOW WE HAVE A DECISION TO MAKE...
There is one problem.

Some drivers have already sent their entries, but their cars are still on the way to Africa. ??????????

And with the tournament only a few days away, some of these entries unfortunately may not reach Razorback Ridge Mountains in time for the scheduled race.

So now, we're putting the decision in the hands of the drivers.

????? SHOULD WE RACE ON THE ORIGINAL DATE?
OR...

???? SHOULD WE PUSH THE TOURNAMENT TO MID-SEPTEMBER?
We want to hear from YOU.

Would you rather see the tournament start on the original date with the cars that have already arrived?

Or would you prefer that we give the remaining entries more time to reach Africa so that as many drivers as possible can be on the starting grid?

And there's one more thing we'd love to know:

???? HOW EXPENSIVE WAS SHIPPING YOUR ENTRY TO AFRICA?
Was the cost reasonable?

Was it expensive?

Was it extremely expensive? ????

Your feedback will help us understand the challenges our international drivers face when sending their cars to Africa.

Because this isn't just a race anymore.

It's drivers from different countries coming together, sending their machines across borders, and meeting on one track — the SKYLINE. ????????

To everyone whose car has already arrived:

THANK YOU. ??

To everyone whose car is still travelling:

WE'RE WAITING FOR YOU. ????????

And to everyone watching, supporting, sharing, and keeping up with the SKYLINE:

THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THIS JOURNEY. ????

Now it's your turn, drivers...

ORIGINAL DATE ???? MID-SEPTEMBER?

WHAT DO YOU THINK? ????

????????? The cars are arriving.
???? The drivers are coming.
????? Razorback Ridge Mountains is waiting.
???? And soon... we meet on the track.

SKYLINE — SEE YOU AT THE RACE MOUNTAIN. ????????

If customs and the shipping service has held up some of the teams then I'd say wait. That's something unforeseen when it comes to sending cars to other countries. How many teams are currently arrived? And how many are still in transit?


  • We've received most of them but recently went to pick up ABC family and ZERO HP RACING from customs and Numbskuland others are still in transit — Skyline
  • And should I ask about mine? — Crazy_Canuck
  • You have already arrived — Skyline

It depends when they sent them. With months of notice, they should have been on their way at least a month before the deadline. It is expensive to ship things internationally, so I would hate to see anyone who paid to have their cars race miss out. It wouldn't hurt to delay things a couple of weeks to allow everyone to show up. The more competition the better, right? 

Also, it cost me $30 (US) to ship my cars from Ohio (US), and from the time it left my hands till the time he had it in his hands was 14 days!! I was shocked it got there so fast! I've sent things to PA that took longer...lol.
