Everyone starts will a speed of 6 and has 4 wildcards.

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 can use wildcards during their turn, doubling their change in speed or doubling 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, North)
"(2m)r(m)r"
This will move the car forward twice, diagonally right, once more diagonally right and then straight right once more, and uses up one wildcard. It is now moving East.

.3..
2...

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 you are reduced to speed 0. You will be placed back on the track where you last exited (my judgement) and miss a turn.
If you go off the road 3+ spaces you crash and burn. Game over, dude.

No oil or hidden sandtraps, but there is a shortcut patch and a over/underpass bridge. Going off the bridge is not a good idea.

This will be a low speed, Rah-style track.

Just a suggestion, but maybe wildcards should be temp too.

[rah]

I'll give it a shot.

Last-minute edit: This is a one-round game. It will be long enough, trust me.

[rah]

Your example looks confusing.
Is your car going to be pointing in a certain direction like the last race?

[Skanky Burns]

I just copy-pasted from Spaced's previous thread.

The steering will be like the last race, you permanently change your cars direction by steering rather than just bumping the car over by 1 square.

Since you didn't put me down, I'm in.

[gjramsey]

I will try again

Are we going to race on the full Hockenheimring or something?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Thanks for starting this agian Skankster....I'm in. I need to get revenge on Rah for that last one.

[rah]

It's been so long I forgot what I'm getting revenged for. Or is it just old age.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Your driving while unconcious in the race before the one that I started. Where you got help from the GM and just managed to nip me at the finish line.

[rah]

Ah,, that one.

[Spaced Cowboy]

And just what is up with Jamski? Are you afraid to play with your little spaced man?

This is the minimap. The thin line is a shortcut. How does this look?
