    Accepting signups for up to 9 drivers.

    Okay this one is similar to the Fomula 1 game with a few exceptions.
    1. The track is round.
    2. A right or left is the method for turning and you'll continue in that direction at 45 degree arcs.
    3. You can turn right and left in the same turn (used to pass on the straights).
    4. I'll probably let the drivers get away with some bumping, but there will be crashes in which speeds and types of crashes (behind, side, cut-off, etc.) will determine the outcome. It is possible and highly probable that a crash can put you out of the race.

    Here are the rules from F1 (somewhat modified)

    Rules
    The game is turn-based. Each of the two drivers issues two orders for each turn. Possible orders are as follows:

    1. Change speed:
    a. Accelerate - add one to speed
    b. Decelerate - subtract one from speed
    c. Don't change speed

    2. Steer:
    a. Left
    b. Right
    c. Left-Right, Right-Left
    d. Don't change direction


    * Each player also has 2 wildcards per lap, which they can use to double their change in speed or double their turn rate. Multiple wildcards can be used in a single round.
    * Steering can now be controlled much finer.

    Turning (moving to the left or right) will always move you forward 1 square, but you can now influence when this move takes place.

    A complete order may look like this: (current speed of 4)
    "mmrmr"
    This will move the car forward twice, diagonally right, once more diagonally right and then straight right once more, and uses up one wildcard.

    Code:
    ..45
    .3..
    2...
    1...
    Y...
    * Orders are to be PMed to me. They are not being made public this time. Its not like that helped preventing collisions last time, anyway.

    There will be no hidden oil slicks.

    NEW RULES

    Only two wildcards for a direction or speed on any turn.
    accel 2 and right 2 are allowed in the same turn, just no accel 3 or right 3.

    If you go off the road. 1-2 spaces. reduced to speed 0. You will be placed back on the track where you last exited, (my judgement)

    If you go off the road 3+ spaces: crash and burn, you are out-of-it.

    TWO LAPS (so watch those wildcards)

    Here is the track:

    Rules are still open to discussion or clarification until the start of the race.

          Cool, I still need to work on the track. Any pointers to using that code thing?

            Hmm, sure why not, same dish different sauce
            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

              Line everything up using a .txt editing programm.

              Notepad will do.

                Use a nonproportional font text editor like "TEXTPAD".
                It takes a little screwing around with it but once you have it completed, maintenance is easy. (and you can remove the Tildes.)

                  No, it will not. That's what I used and it was a disaster because spaces do not take up the same amount of space as * do.

                    Sorry. On the German Windows its called "Editor" I thought that WAS Notepad... it must be called something different in English then.

                    Its the programme that opens for me if I r-click on the desktop and ask for "Neu Textdatei"

                    *shrugs*

                    It works for me.

                          Any text editor with a fixed width font will do. Like notepad. Or wordpad. Or any program that has both text and the ability to choose different fonts.

                              Spaced, have you tried test driving the track? Can you even make those turns? I was testing an oval for my race and the turn rules weren't good enough to do it. Maybe I'm just not understanding the rules clearly enough. And I would allow more than 2 WCs a lap. The track is longer than you think.
