    I'm hoping the LONG LONG straightaways will temp someone for the turbo package. I would be tempted to take it.

      There seems to be a contradiction in the rules...

      In the first section about WCs, you say:

      *Only two wildcards for a direction or speed on any turn.
      Which would seem to indicate that I could do A(A+1)(A+1)..., becuase that's only two wildcards I've used.

      But later in the car upgrades section, you say:

      *You still cannot do more than 2 speed changes or 2 directional changes in one turn even with the car options, hence A(A+1)(A+1)MMMMMMMMM is not allowed.
      So which is it: 3 total changes (1 + 2 wildcards) allowed, or 2 total changes allowed, because I'm a bit confused.

      But the changes do look good overall.

        You can only use max 2 wild cards a turn. But if you use two, one must be for direction and one must be for speed. You can't use both for the same thing, so there is no inconsistency in the rules. And since you can't use one on top of your special power, the only way you could use two would be if you took the performance package.

        I guess that "OR" in the first example could confuse people

            It was close, The cincher would have been the turbo/brake package.

                    I guess that would have been a little overpowered.... Although, of course, I haven't been following the past games too closely, so I might be wrong.

                      Okay, as you are waiting on me I will post my orders publicly:

                      I am going for the Performance Package

                      A(A+1)M8

                      Thanks,

                        Hmmm, I did remove the break package and combined it with the turbo package. I guess I wasn't clear enough.

                        IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE, People can have the option to change prior to the second turn.

                          Only only one crash this turn as Tuber thought to get to the outside to avoid the crush. Tuber won the toss so Kassi gets the back spot. BUT remember, no speed penalty and Kassi can use a "S" command next turn, so no real disadvantage. But both of your max speed has been reduced to 11. Unless you get into lots of crashes, they should just be a minor annoyance.

                          At least we had one taker for each, perf and turbo. Maybe there will be another daring soul after I clarified the turbo package. I'm real interested in how they perform on this fast and tight track.

                            Ah, I'm taking the turbo. I was going to take it at first but then assumed that there were no brakes to go along with it.

                              I'll try the turbo too, but only if I get another A for the first turn (becuase that is what I would have done if I had the turbo), if not , then I stay where i am. Your call Rah!
