If I use the slip-stream, doesn't I end off track?

Slipsteam left and pick your speed depending on whether you want to hit Skanky or avoid him.

If Jamski can navigate the turn cleanly, he could still win...
SHould be close.

As far as I can see it's a forced win from this position.

Dang, I mixed the two of up, I thought Jamski was in second position. 
I was just supporting the underdog.
Go Doc Go !!!

Alva, I meant forced win for me. Jamski is about to go off the track and be reduced to speed 0.
Rah: Because I calculated a forced win this way. Accelerating last turn was not as clear. Jamski would have much better chances that way. Accelerating wouldn't have made me hit the narrow 2 square part any quicker and I would have had lower speed than I will doing it this way. I think, anyway.

11 turns until a Spikie victory, by my count.

If jamski breaks left, I don't think it's over yet.

It is. A brake left and he goes off by one square. He'll be moving at 3, and there's only 2 spaces for him to go.

Depends on where Rah places him after he crashes. Behind where he went off, Spikie will win by 1 round. To the left of where he went off, Spikie and Jam will probably have an accident somewhere but have the same chance to win.
EDIT: Actually, if Jam can move the turn after he crashes, then if he is placed to the left he should win. Behind and he still has the same chance to win as Spikie. If he has to wait a turn, then my first analysis is correct.

If he only goes off the track one square, he doesn't lose a turn. That's why he has to break left. He's got a 50/50 shot of being placed left since there's only two spots he can be placed.

Well he should be placed where he exits, which means the last square he occupied before exiting since he will go off only one square. No judgement is required (or a 50/50 roll) surely?

Well, why make the orders secret? BRAKE LEFT was always the only option again.

Yes he is.
On a previous "left the track" situation, I randomized which touching space I placed the person. I intend to do the same this time. If you read the rules, it does say that it's my judgement. Checking to see if all orders have been received now and will update the track.

Well it says you will use your judgment on where they exited, and in this case with it being one square off the track I would suggest there is no doubt that where he exits is the last square occupied before exiting. That seems the fairest way to do it to me, rather than moving someone to a square they never occupied.
Still, not my decision. I'm obviously biased. I am interested what others (whose decision it also is not ) think though. Surely one should not get a line advantage from going off the track?
As for orders, coming up.
