        Vovan and Sparrowhawk bump and Sparrow wins the toss. There is an O under him.
        Sparrow will limp into the pits along with Vovan.

        Spaces sets his line for the pit, and brakes to try to get good benefit.
        Jonny does not break, will he pit? Can he catch up and maintain without the top speed that Spaced will sure to have coming out.

        Will Sparrow get hit again before making it to the pit? Tune in for lap 16 coming soon.

          I admit i'm not an experienced nascar person, just having read this game basically ... but does anyone have a real shot at Jonny? He probably won't have to pit at all the rest of the race, being sway ... and will be quite a huge amount ahead of spaced, who can't accelerate like mad anyway because he has to save his WCs for hard turns at each curve ?

            If he chooses the inside lane, he most certainly will.

              Lets hope so, as I can't lose any more max speed, so anyone else hitting me hurts them more then me.....though I don't really want to deal with oil.

              As for Snoopy's question....in my opinion it is still early (as this race is three laps) and while it looks like Jonny and Spaced have the early advantage, I think the jury is still out on who will win.

              • I have to agree, but Spaced is going to have a wicked top end speed coming out of the pit. It could be 16,17 and he has the turbo to take advantage of it. Most others are just going to be getting back what they loast.

                I don't know if Jonny can keep a lead with his top end.

                But the race is three laps, so there's plenty to go

                  Can you use meaningfully a top speed that high, except for a couple of turns near the pit? You can't reasonably round the curves on the top and bottom without having what, 7 or 8 speed, max, and that's with sway or using a lot of WCs? And the east 'straightaway' not only is not particularly straight, but has sandbags slowing you regardless of your top speed, before you could realistically bring your speed up by much...

                  • Rah, I'm planning on braking once while in-between limit markers to bring my speed to 4 while crossing the line so I can get 2 more WC. This is not considered a special power right?

                    It would be special if I tried to brake or accelerate twice, correct?

                            Yeah, I can see a strat of intentionally trying to hit him, since I'll get the speed boost from the pit and he will not.

                              good luck Pretty sure you'll be a few turns behind, but who knows ...
