      Once again, no crashes occured on this turn on the race track. However, the sand was still there, as always. This time, Ljube and Spaced both journeyed over the same triplet of previously-hidden sandtraps. Kassi passes Sparrowhawk on the narrow part of the sandbag alley 1. Rah zooms ahead into the 2nd split, opting to take the top route. He's going to have to spend some WCs soon though, and this track has no sympathy for those who overdraw their WC account.

      Back in the back of the pack, Gamecube continues to bide his time. However, with a large stash of WCs, and being able to see most of the sandbags, he is by no means out of this race yet.

      Now accepting your turn 10 orders.

        Wow.......almost forgot about this!

        by the way, part of the circle coming up (still several turns away, even for Rah) looks a bit disjointed.....is it supposed to look this way or is it out by one space?

          Go Kassi!

          And thanks to Jonny for filling in the turns when I was away. I'll just keep rah's champagne cold for him in the pit lane. You only need one bottle to celebrate with right?

                Still lacking orders from Gamecube.

                    Yes, that's an error, it should be over one space.

                      Note: car 3 is sitting on a sandbag.

                      The good news: no crashes, again.
                      The better news: only one sandbag!
                      The bad news: Rah is threatening to run away with the race.

                      Rah zooms through part of the 2nd split track area, but is forced to burn another WC in the process. Futher back, in the 1st Sandbag area, drivers are becoming proficient at sandbag avoidance, with most drivers trying their best to remain within those areas known to be sandbag free and staying away from those known to have sandbags. Perhaps they can use this to have some extra speed coming into the 2nd split track... of course, speed isn't always a good thing...

                      Now accepting turn 11 orders.
