and drops onto the Tau, road kill.
 
Well after 5 hours of making right hand turns 4 laps latter (2 of them completed with the golden grot) 3 hull points removed from other racers and only dying 2 times, I managed to finish 3rd. 1st and 2nd place belonged to the Land Raiders which only managed to complete one lap. Strategy just sit around in the first turn shooting at everything as they went over the finish line.
