Jonny moving along at 8, and it's decision time, Will he pit?
It's not like he has to slow down much too pit

Spaced hanging in there.
Looking over his shoulder at GR but with no wild cards he has to slow down big for this time.
Vovan becomes the new darkhorse, Enough speed and 2 WCs may allow him not to pit.
TUBER AND SPARROW COLLIDE but no oil since it's in the sand. Sparrow continues to set the record for number of collisions.
Kassi trying to catch up.

The next three turns will be fun.

Now accepting orders for turn 32.

Jonny makes his move to pit.
Spaced closes in by a few squares but will have to pit.
GJ finally negotiates the far turn at an agonizing slow pace in desperate need of some WCs.
VOVAN takes advantage of knowing what GJ has to do to make the turn and positions himself to use a slip. He's going to come screaming out of that turn and not have to pit. Don't look over your shoulder guys. He's going to be right there as the others exit the pit.
Sparrow gets out of the sand faster than Tuber.
And Kassi is moving up to try to get out of last.

Are we having fun yet?

Now accepting orders for turn 33.

Suffering from ads?

Hmm...strange that jonny burned a WC to double brake at the end of his turn, when he could have just braked at the beginning of the next one, I don't see him slowing down below 6, he doesn't really need WC and speed 5 only gets him the one that he burned, speed four means he'll have to burn another.

I hope this does not haunt him on the last straight before the finish.

We must be missing something because I thought the same thing. (or he is )I'm also assuming he was going to only slow to 6 for the pit.

Why does Spaced need to pit? Sure, he's only got 1 WC, but he'll have a large lead on Johnny if he doesn't and doesn't need the extra max speed. Whereas if he does pit he's still behind Johnny, and would require a Johnny mistake to win.

I'd risk it and not pit.

The problem is that I'd have to slow down really slow for the corners since I can only do one left at a time, hence the bottom corner would turn into a four turn corner...with WCs it is 2, and the area right before the sandbag alley (which I want some speed into) turns into a three turn affair.

Sure be nice to see a little Drogue in the next race.

I didn't use any WCs in the bottom right turn, and I had to drop to speed 2 momentarily to navigate it. I wouldn't recommend it, I was third to last before that turn and dropped way, way behind the second last car after it was done with.

Jonny looks like he wants 2 WCs as he drops below 6
Spaced makes up the ground heading in.
VOVAN fires out of the turn and looks like he's going to be able to use his top speed.
It's going to be crowded for the leaders comming out of the pit.
GJ finally clears the turn and gets a little speed up. But he will be pitting.
Sparrow finally gets creates some space from the back of the pack.
Kassi hits Tuber as he comes out of the sand. His top speed is high enough for it not to matter to him, but it will hurt Tuber. And another oil spill will be created in the speed slot coming out of the alley.

Will this impact the leaders on the last lap?

We're poised to drop the white flag in two turns and the crowd is excited.

Now accepting orders for turn 34.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

quote:

CRASHES CAN NOT OCCUR IN THE PIT AREA INBETWEEN AND INCLUDING THE ## MARKERS.
Cars will just be considered sharing the same space.

but it doesn't include the exit area.
I'd be more worried about VOVAN
