OK, due to the confusion. I get to call a restart.
Please post your first orders again and your selection again. Sorry.
But the custom package is a big issue. While I think the turbo package is better than before, the sway bar still has it's advantage since there are at 3 turns a lap that will benefit. And the performance WC option gives flexibility.

Orders sent earlier, but I wonder if anyone gets disqualified after 2 false starts .

I guess using up the extra fuel doing these will mean we need to pit earlier?

(by the way, the "pit stop" has images of an actual NASCAR race running through my head....I am trying to imagine a driver telling the crew that he was only going to slow down so that they could do their work as he passes through pit row ).

And they're off. No crashes this time.
Great to see 3 turbos and 3 swaybars. We'll get a good feel for which works better.
And One performace to see if the compromise works.
Vovan makes a move to get a slipstream, and Tuber ends with the same.
Hopefully with the less harm from crashes, this will be a more thinking man's race.

Good luck to all as we watch positioning for two turns from now as the track narrows.

Now accepting orders for turn 2.

OK, the thinking mans game is starting to come into play like I envisioned it.
Sway people are trying to position for "S"s and turbo drivers are trying to blow it out.

No crashes and the first sharp turn should be exciting as the turbo people try to set timing and determine when to burn those valuable wild cards since they don't have enough for 3 laps.

Keeping in mind that any crash in that narrow turn will produce an oil slick for the next two laps.

Now accepting turn 3 orders.

Yes, but that is my fault I think.......I sent in orders which would have had me going at speed 10 and then sent in revised orders that meant I only accelerated to speed 9.

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

So, wait, let me get this straight, an AB combination is just like a RL combination in that you can do it without using a wildcard? I thought that you could either do A or B during a turn, and for more would have to use a WC...
