Are we doing a d20 for a stall/perfect launch as well?
Not this race. I'm not sure how I feel about that rule to be honest--feels like that's just a "screw you" situation, as you've got no choice in the matter.

WOOOO getting the shitty rolls out of the way before the race starts, am I rite?
I feel like I've let you down Desc.
It doesn't matter. I'll hug second place, you weave through everyone else and draft off me to rocket into first. BAM we got this.
Drafting is pro mode: if you're in (someone check this?) 4th (?) gear or higher and you end the turn right behind someone, you can squirt an additional three spaces past them by slipstreaming off them.

Yep, 4th or higher to boost 3 spaces. And if you end your boost behind someone else you can do it again.
Can't do it if you brake, however.

Is everyone's build set? Probably should have that in the 2nd post.
Once they are set, looks like desc is up first, then me.
We're still waiting for SageinaRage. I was giving him till the end of today before ip messaged him again, since it had been the weekend. Sending him a reminder now.

InkSplat, how are you planning on updating the board? After each person's turn?
I'm going to try and update it as often as possible. If someone wants to go before I update though, they're more than welcome to. Just need to pay attention to who moved before them.
I'll be throwing builds into the second post momentarily.
Also, if anyone does anything that burns a point, mark it in red so it stands out, along with the number value you're burning.

I'm thinking to either do the turns like you did, or spell out each movement like: forward, forward, left, forward, right. If you were overtaking or something.
I'll have the map up in just a second. Just have to edit in your move.
As a note, this is currently a bit of an experiment, as I'm try to see if this is possible all on my iPad, so righth now I've assigned each of you symbols. Either @ or # depending on if you're first or second on your team. The symbols will be next to your name on the leader board. If you have any suggestions though, let me know!

Actually, if any of you guys who haven't gone yet want to go ahead and roll, it should't be a problem. 1st Gear can't really change any positions, so not much to take into account in terms of where/how you're going to move. I just won't actually move you till your turn comes up. But that way it might at least speed things up a little at least.

Ugh! I did a d100 to limit the chances of having to do a roll-off.
Go ahead and roll another d100 and I'll do the same to see who'll be first.
Edit:
Because tofu is already on my bad side! (1d100=54)
1d100 → [85] = (85)
Middle of the pack, that's good enough for me.

I'm gonna go with the default build. Anything else would just make me feel worse when everything goes wrong.
Also, we should make sure all of our posts include the team color.

Edit:: Fuck it, standard car build, enough waiting on me.

Not sure exactly the format we want on writing out our turns, so here goes for now:
Turn 1 - first gear (1d2=2)
Blue Team: Desc
Moving 2 spaces straight forward in my current (the outside) lane. Edit, per below: Forward, Forward.

I could really see myself pitching motor oil in a TV commercial.
And sponsorships come after you manage to complete a race without exploding into a huge blue ball of flames. :P
Why would you want to do that...?
Forward
Move forward two spaces!
edit: What do the colored in spaces on the track represent?
Forward
That's not a bad idea. Should I add some sort of mark on the map-based leader board or would an actual post like that be more helpful?
Good point. I'll start doing that next update.
It'll go faster as we go further and shift into higher gears.
Forward. Forward.
Opening move:
2 lap with optional pitstop.
