Rules
The game is turn-based. Each of the two drivers issues two orders for each turn. Possible orders are as follows:

1. Change speed:
a. Accelerate - add one to speed
b. Decelerate - subtract one from speed
c. Don't change speed

2. Steer:
a. Left
b. Right
c. Don't change direction

Added:
* Each player also has 6 wildcards, which they can use to double their change in speed or double their turn rate. Multiple wildcards can be used in a single round.
* Steering can now be controlled much finer.
Turning (moving to the left or right) will always move you forward 1 square, but you can now influence when this move takes place.
Say your speed is 3, and you want to go right without changing speed. You send this order in.

code:
.. .o .. Y. Y = you o = oil slick


By default you would move:
code:
.3 .2 .1 Y.

which unfortunately takes you through a known oil slick.

If, with your order, you specified to mmr (move, move, right), then your movement would look like this:
code:
.3 2o 1. Y.

Allowing you to bypass the oil.
If you don't specify when do your turn, it will by default be done on the first move.

A complete order may look like this: (current speed of 4)
"Accelerate left+1
mmlml"
This will move the car forward twice, diagonally left, once more forward and then diagonally left once more, and uses up one wildcard.
code:
..5 .4. .3. 2.. 1.. Y..




* Orders are to be PMed to me. They are not being made public this time. Its not like that helped preventing collisions last time, anyway.

There will be no hidden oil slicks. They will appear at crash sites and come into effect in the second lap.

NEW RULES
There are hidden sand traps that will reduce your speed by two. The will be exposed after hit.

Only two wildcards for a direction or speed on any turn.
accel 2 and right 2 are allowed in the same turn, just no accel 3 or right 3.

Oil spots, random left or right 1-3 spaces, speed reduced in half. (unless you leave the track)

If you go off the road. 1-2 spaces. reduced to speed 0.
If you go off the road 3+ spaces. reduced to speed 0 and lose a turn.
You will be placed back on the track where you last exited, (my judgement)

CRASHes. If you crash, random roll who gets the space and who gets behind. (so first order is no longer an advantage) Both reduced only half speed. (if I determine that two people plan a crash for controlled breaking, I will reduce them both to 0 and they will lose a turn)

TWO LAPS (so watch those wildcards)
Only cars within 20 or so spaces of the lead car will participate in the second lap. My judgement for competitive reasons.

[pedantic] How about saying that when you hit a sand trap, your speed is reduced by two, to a minimum of 0? [/pedantic]

Enter the AD-FREE zone

LAST NEW RULE
The slip stream rule
If you start a turn directly behind another racer, (not including the result of a crash) the car in the rear can slip stream. To do this, his first command must be a left or right and an S is added to your command stream. This will give you a free space forward and it will not count towards your final speed.

1
2

car 1 is at speed 3 and car two is at speed 3
The two card issues a slip
RSMMMM assuming an acceleration
The 2 car will move r and 5 forward but will still be considered at speed 4.

OK,, start your engines.

We'll use a 24 hour rule during weekdays, and longer on the weekends. I may decide to end a turn at anytime based on what is experienced. I'll decide what happens if a person misses and order, based on timezones and players previous experience in being on time.

The decisions of the game master are final.

The goal is for the race to stay competitive.

GOOD LUCK ALL.

The clock has started on Round 1.

Do you only crash if you end the turn on the same square as another car, or also if you are at the same square at a certain point within the turn?
