The speed limits must all be obeyed. If the gas is out - you need to fill up the tank, flat tire - replace it with a spare one. In case of an accident you need to repair the car before going any further. You will try to reach the finish first, as well as your opponent, and try to hinder your opponent’s way by placing various hazards on it.
