## Rules questions

### Do I have to stop in corners? What happens if I don't?

Yes — you must make the minimum number of stops shown for the corner; if you pass through without the required stops you overshoot and lose 1 tire WP for each space overshot, and if you lose your last tire WP you are placed backwards on your final space and must restart in 1st gear next turn (overshooting beyond available WP or skipping required stops can eliminate you). (pp. 2, 4)

### How does braking work — can I shorten my move or stop if I'm blocked?

You may spend brake WP to reduce the number of spaces you advance (lose 1 brake WP per space not advanced); if blocked you apply the table of 'spaces remaining' to determine brake and tire WP losses, and if you don't have enough WP to stop you are eliminated. (pp. 2, 4)

### How does slipstreaming work — can I slipstream into/through a corner?

If you stop directly behind another car, are moving as fast or faster, and both cars are in 4th gear or higher, you may slipstream: add 3 spaces to your move with the listed lane/move options; if the slipstream carries you into a corner you still lose 1 brake WP, and you may not brake deliberately to set up slipstreaming. (pp. 2, 4)

### What happens when I end my move next to or behind other cars — do we automatically crash?

When you end your move adjacent to or behind one or more cars you roll the black die for a collision check; a roll of 1 causes the car to lose 1 car body WP (and losing your last car body WP eliminates you). Also, losing car body or engine WP places a damage marker that can force future road-handling checks. (pp. 2, 4)

### Can I enter the pits at full speed and what does a pit stop do?

You may enter the pit lane at any speed (you must roll at least the minimum to enter with your gear die); entering instantly restores all tire WP, then you roll the black die — 1–10 is a quick stop (divide the roll by 2, round up, for spaces you may move leaving in 4th), 11–20 means you stay until the next round and then leave in 4th or lower. (pp. 2, 4) 

### When do I have to check for engine damage (20/30) and who rolls?

If a player rolls the maximum on the gear die (a 20 in 5th gear or a 30 in 6th), that triggers an engine-damage check: all players in 5th or 6th gear roll the black die, and a result of 1–4 causes the car to lose 1 engine WP (losing the last engine WP eliminates the car). (pp. 2, 4)
