[k] @Ishtar Commentary As everyone knows, it's the mark of a great goddess to give credit where credit is due. [k] @Ishtar Commentary So let's have a big round of applause for this m[line2]uh, this...FOR DA VINCI! They've been a big help!

[k] @Ishtar Commentary Whenever a team reaches one of these checkpoints,[sr]they'll be required to stop... [k] @Ishtar Commentary ...and wait for every other team to reach the same checkpoint. Naturally, each team's time will be closely monitored all the while. [k] [charaFace A 0] @Ishtar Commentary Once every team has reached that checkpoint... [k] @Ishtar Commentary ...the race will resume with all vehicles leaving from that checkpoint's starting line at the same time and continuing to race until the next checkpoint! [k] [charaFace A 7] @Ishtar Commentary Since it's a long way to the finish line, the idea is to break up the race into five smaller courses. [k] [charaFace A 6] @Ishtar Commentary However, at the last checkpoint before the goal,[sr]instead of all vehicles leaving at once... [k] @Ishtar Commentary ...the time difference between each team will be tallied up, and they will have to wait until the corresponding amount of time has passed before they can go. [k] @Ishtar Commentary This is so we don't have vehicles getting too far apart from one another. That'd be really boooring!!!

Also, there's a looot of distance even between checkpoints, so you racers'll probably wanna rest up at the various pit stops you'll find along the way. [k] @Ishtar Commentary Even though each team's got an assistant providing their vehicle with magical energy, this'll DEFINITELY be one exhausting race!
