Only 3 cars retain their spots as the field jostles for position

Turn 16:
Harley runs the green racing line at 160 for one wear
Kennard swings to the outer racing line at 140 for free
Schultz tops out at 140 starting the green line into Eau Rouge
Harrington plots 160 but with the green line blocked finishes inside (see note)

Bernhardt at 140 starts the green line also
Moratto sheds two wear around the La Source line at 120
Collins drops two wear around the inside of the corner at 100
Bauska does likewise and is also two wear lighter

LaMorte slows to 80 on the line at no cost
Welage starts at 120 then brakes around the inside of the corner knocking off two wear
Rund tosses in two wear to follow around the inside at 100
Kubala clears the corner on the inside at 100 scrubbing off two wear of his own

NOTE: Harrington did not specify what to do if the green line was blocked. The default
is to finish inside. If you think there is any chance your desired path will be blocked
you should specify an alternative.

The chase pack approaches Rivage in a group

Turn 21:
Harley is into Poulon on the line at 140
Kennard stays two lengths behind also on the racing line
Harrington rounds the Rivage 120s at 140 shedding one wear
Schultz takes the inside route at 120 also tossing in one wear

Bernhardt again is M.I.A. taking another RM plot into the 120s at speed
Moratto at 120 is forced to the inside lane for one wear
Bauska runs the Malmedy racing line at 120 dropping one wear
Collins takes the 100s at speed and loses the draft

Welage is one wear lighter after taking the Malmedy line at 120
Rund takes the 100s at speed
Kubala at 100 knocks off one wear on the Les Combes line and the Malmedy 100s
LaMorte swings wide through Les Combes and grabs the Malmedy line at 100 for one wear

NOTE: I know the track is blurry. I've tried several things to clear it up and I have a few
more things I'll try when I get time. The only real trouble spot seems to be the inside
space through Les Combes. It is 60mph, not 80.
