The Amphesium circuit — three minutes and twelve seconds, Tigron class, first place. The split second and the full second are the racing game's fundamental temporal units: the decision made correctly in less than a second, and the alternative outcome that stretches out over the lap that follows the mistake. Your call is the racing game's defining condition: everything is always your call, and the callus that comes from making enough calls correctly is what separates the gold from the grid.
