Note: Cars 4, 5, and 2 are all sitting on sandbags.

Chaos was the main theme found throughout the track on this turn. In the front of the pack, Rah found himself head-to-head with a wall. Apparently, he prefered to dent his hood up a little than to burn a WC. However, his stinginess will cost him 3 speed.

Kassiopeia heads into the 2nd split, opting to take the upper route, and Sparrowhawk is right behind him. Spaced is also approaching the split in the middle of track, and he hits a rogue sandbag. Further back, Ljube hits a previously hidden series of three sandbags, and just behind him Gamecube hits the first of those three bags.

Now accepting turn 13 orders.

And not sure if mine was the right decision, but my thinking was that I was probably headed off the track at some point, so this was as good of place as any. And having two WCs will help when the rest catch me.

At the front of the pack, Rah starts to re-accelerate under the overpass after his run-in with the track wall. Back at the second split, Kassi, Sparrow, and Spaced are all bunched up entering the upper track. Spaced and Sparrow have 4 WCs, and Kassi has 6; so it will probably be only a matter of time until someone tries to bridge the gap between them and Rah... or will they try to bunch up and slipstream off each other to catch up? Further back in the alley, Gamecube and Ljube run into each other as Gamecube is slowed down somewhat by 2 sandbags... Ljube was randomly chosen to get the front spot, and they are both charged with a -2 speed penalty. It seems that the last few turns have been rather problematic for these two, especially Ljube.

Now accepting turn 14 orders.
