Actually this will probably help both cars, but the ref deems it non-intentional.

The cars bunch up for the first tight turn. And the trailing cars can now make a move. THE CROWD IS GOING WILD>

[rah]

No slip orders can be issued when you end up behind due to a crash. (makes sense, but didn't think about prior to start)

[alva]

Some driving on our part eh

[Adagio]

Finally some crashing happened


Oh, and orders for next round has been sent...

[duke o' york]

Did you plan on having it there, or have you introduced the oil slick as a result of the crash? Good innovation if the crashes have an effect on the second lap.

[rah]

Yeah, I'd better not find out it was colusion.

[rah]

And yes, as per the rules, all oil slicks are results of a crash. No self respecting track owner would have oil on the track prior to a race.

[DrSpike]

/me thinks Alva is not so stupid that he would have issued his earlier orders without already planning an artful way to brake.

[Spaced Cowboy]

This is probably stated well in the rules but some clarification. Is it possible to (without using wild cards)

1. Brake and accelerate in the same turn?
2. Turn left and right in the same turn?

Sent as well

[rah]

Brake and accelerate would make no sense since only the final position is what counts. Be silly to waste a WC for something you don't need to do.

Right and Left could happen and be Needed in a tight turn, so using a WC for it could make sense. Especially in the turns coming up.

I thought I was certain to go off track, only tried to delay it as much as possible.

Besides I still get confused with how the wild cards work

Turn six sent btw
