Nothing like taking on a 25% chance of losing on the third turn, huh?

5th gear!

20% on Turn 6, but who's keeping track?

Refresh my memory...slipstreaming into the curve, how bad is that for me?

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 1:24 pm

If a car is carried into a corner by slipstreaming, he loses a brake WP (without the number of spaces being reduced).
In a corner, a slipstreaming car must follow normal driving code (e.g. following the arrows).
Braking in order to take advantage of slipstreaming in the wake of another player’s car is not allowed.

You would not be able to slipstream from behind Nick due to the arrows.

Well, crap. Then that's about as suck a roll as I could hope for. Let's go 16 straight, burn off 1 brake point.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 2:47 pm

Done. 5 Brake WP remaining.

4th for Y1

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 3:23 pm

If you roll a number but you can't move the full number of spaces because of cars ahead of you (like, say all three lanes are blocked), and you can't sufficiently brake, you crash, right? Game over?

Assuming that's a yes, then fifth gear.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 3:31 pm

That is correct.

Movement roll is 13.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 3:39 pm

Can I use soft tires out of a slipstream?

In other words - straight 4, right 2, straight 7. Activate nitro, move straight 5 (to behind Hentzau). Slipstream left 2, straight 1, +1 space with soft tires. -1 brake for slipstreaming into the turn.

Isgrimnur · Post by **Isgrimnur** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 3:46 pm

If a car wants to profit from slipstreaming after moving, it has to stop directly behind another car. From this position he can then add 3 spaces onto his last move.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Nooooooooooooo.

The soft tires move would have to be your "last move" to trigger a slipstream, 3 space move.

El Guapo · Post by **El Guapo** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 3:49 pm

Bah. Fascist.

Straight 10, right 1, straight 1, left 1. Around that Isgrimnur fellow.
