Spaced's orders were A(M6)RB, which would result in him doing a Chaunk(tm) and being disqualified; however, I dont want to DQ anyone this early in the race because of carelessness (I think it can be assumed that he thought he was headed S, not SE), so I'm moving him AR(M6)B instead. But this is his one and only mulligan for this race...
Now accepting turn 3 orders.

Turn 3 - Warning: Sharp Turns Ahead

On the right track, rah takes the inside of the turn to squeeze past Sparrowhawk, while Duke remains cautiously behind. On the left track, all three racers are quite close together entering the hairpin.Code:NASCAR Car Number Player Name Speed Wild cards Direction Orders 1 rah 8 7 SE A(M6)L(M) 2 Spaced Cowboy 5 6 W BRM(R+1)MM 3 Sparrowhawk 8 7 SE SA(m8)LB 4 Gamecube64 5 8 SW BMR(M3) 5 Ljube-ljcvetko 5 8 SW (2M)R(2M) 6 duke o' york 6 8 S (M6)
Note: Spaced was not allowed to ammend his orders.
Now accepting turn 4 orders!

Sent, and I was pretty sure if I used both Slipstream and Accelerate that I would hit Rah as his square is the obvious choice, so I opted to take the corner wide (though I could have stayed behind him without slipstream, not sure which was the better option in hindsight).
