Qualifying for Start Positions in the First Race

Hello Race Managers!

Since the outcome of our first race was inconclusive, we will use the qualifying procedure in the rulebook to determine start positions.

Here is the procedure:

Qualfying Lap with Stopwatch

All players drive a qualifying lap consecutively to set their starting positions. WP are not taken into account.

One player is the referee. The player whose turn it is places his car in the middle lane in front of the starting line. The referee starts a stopwatch before the player rolls for 1st gear, and stops it as soon as the car crosses the finish line. He also records the number of die throws the player needed to finish the lap.

The referee then adds one throw of the die for every full minute the player took to complete the lap, and one throw of the die per space that the car overshot any corner.

The lap is over if the player does not stop at all in corners where 2 or 3 stops are required (he then starts the race from the last position).  The same occurs if a player only stops once in a corner where 3 stops are required.

The car that completed the lap with the fewest die throws takes first position, followed by the other cars in decreasing order. If 2 players tie, the order is decided by the fastest stopwatch time.
