accelerate straight
BUT question about move.
can I accelearte right and stay on the track.
When does the right occur, at the beginning or at the end. (this could impact SK also) OR doesn't it matter.
If at the end or doesn't matter, I want to

Mitch can go "steady right" and hit Skanky.

Despite popular belief, the object of the game isn't to hit other cars for no reason. It slows you down as well.
Besides, it won't kill me.

Accelerate straight ahead.

Better make this a single lap trial run.

Okay, regarding the turns. Like I said before somewhere, the way it works is: on the very first line jump you shift left/right, and then keep on going straight. So, if rah turns right now, then he will go off-track.

I will accelerate and turn right.

Better yet, he could go accelerate-right, and go right by Skanky. And he can stay on track on the next turn even if he goes steady-left.

Just waiting on you, mrmitchell then.

Thanks for the clarification. Especially since it's something I should have already known.

It is now more obvious that cars with different characteristics would make this more interesting, and hidden orders of course.

Yep. Also, just as a little more clarification on turning. Since turning occurs on the first line jump, you essentially move diagonally that once. So, suppose we take Jamski's projected position. From there, he can turn right and stay on track.

Also, if we have a car that can turn by more than one dot at a turn, then the jump occurs gradually, not immediately. So, on the first line jump, the car would shift by one dot to the side, on the next jump - by one more, etc..

Makes sense to me now.
But you'll eventually have to deal with fractions and have to have specifics for doing so.

A car that can turn 2 but is at speed thee is one such example. There are many other possibles.

Yeah... That's what I noticed after I posted the results of the previous turn.... Thing is, I created the whole track in advance, so I didn't have to come up with it during the race... But when I said that mrmitchell could stay on track if he passed by you, I didn't look ahead - only at what was posted above... And then when I processed the results and was planning a comeback for myself, I realized mrmitchell will go off. Sorry man....
