Full PM-box? Change here!

I'll agree he has an advantage, but if planned right the other racers can spend turns above speed 10 and whittle away the lead. Also having the turbo in the sand area makes it easier to maintain speed. A few squares here and a few squares there can make the difference. Especially since there are probably 25 or more turns to go. 14 squares is not insurmountable.
It all comes down to planning your turns.

Why should he pit for WCs? Except in the sand area, he is nearly at the maximum of his possible speed, and he doesn't need to use WCs to get around turns thanks to his super-duper-swaybar.

The only reason would be if he needed to use 3-4 wc's in the sand, which he may or may not. If he can use only 2 wc's, he is golden.

And even if he does pit, i think he has enough lead to keep it up. Spaced etc. will have to pit again anyway...

But rah is right. In the sand is the question. Can Jonny avoid losing too much speed? Only time will tell ...

He meant his PMed orders for the next turn maybe?

No his next orders only show movement of 7 and it should be 8, now, I'm real confused.

Right, so that makes sense, doesn't it? He PMed orders, showing 7 movement, realized his mistake and asked you here to add another M to the end of those new orders? Only thing that doesn't make sense, though, is why didn't he just PM you the second time.

These are the orders I sent for Turn 24.

BMMLMLMM

According to Turn 23 my speed was 9. I braked it to 8 but only sent 7 move orders, which is why I added the last M.

So my orders for Turn 24 are

BMMLMLMMM.

Is it clear now?

ACK!

I'm probably going to finish last since I'll have to either pit all the time or take the corners very slowly to keep from losing WCs. Either way, I'm screwed...

* snoopy369 suggest playing Nascar Snoopy-style (like I play my copy of Nascar 2004)... when i'm slower than the pack, and I know it, i figure that the only way not to be last is to run the rest of the crew off the road

Jonny sprays up sand from four bags.
Spaced picks up speed for the alley and closes in on Jonny. But with only 1 WC left, may have to pit again unless he runs a cautious last lap.
Vovan makes his move and doesn't hit anybody and has some chance to build some speed up.
Kassi slows down to save the wild card.

GJ and Tuber dancing together as they try to close the gap with the leaders.

Now accepting orders for turn 26.

Rah, new orders incoming, I did not count on jonny being so nice to uncover the path for me. So do not use my queue!

Can you explain to me how jonny hit 4 sandbags and is at speed 8?

Also assuming that he is sitting on top of one.
