Hi Don I am pleased you started this thread/idea. There seems to be a lot of potential for "racing" and lots of ideas coming in.

(...) Going strictly by physics, you should be able to go faster in the inner lane (which would be accurately represented by having less spaces), but you'll have greater control in the outer lane because you're turning in a larger radius (you could (...)
