And they are off and racing again!
Spaced maintains his lead on the rest of the pack, but has a minor upset when he inadvertantly uncovered yet another oil patch. He started skidding towards the left side of the track but recovered soon enough. Meanwhile Rah is gaining slowly on our champ.
Drogue narrowly avoided an accident as Frozzy rammed Jonny just before he could ram Drogue. The track safety officer, having been fired only moments before the event, had no comment. Adding to the carnage, Pave misjudged the next turn, slamming into the side fence of the track just short of the next turn. He is out of the race.
ADG was stunned that there was a collision that did not involve him.

The end of the race can now be seen! Hooray!!
Besides that, the only noteworthy event is Frozzy crashing into the side of the track, attempting no doubt to emulate Eventis.

Yes, but they will cross the line on the same turn, and rah will be further ahead at the end of that turn. The best way is to look at it this way though:
Rah has 18 spaces left. If he accelerates with both his wildcards he'll be moving at 11 next turn, and 12 the turn after. So next turn he will have 7 spaces to go, moving at a speed of 12, and so will cross the finish line in 1 and 7/12 turns, or 1.583 turns.
Spaced Cowboy has 15 spaces left. If he accelerates with his remaining wildcard he'll be moving at 9 next turn, and 10 the turn after. So next turn he will have 6 spaces to go, moving at a speed of 10, and so will cross the finish line in 1 and 6/10 turns, or 1.6 turns.
Therefore, Rah will cross the finish line first.
