Collins hugs the inside of the corner at 60 shedding one wear
Kennard slows to 60 taking the red line and 60s for free

Note: Welage spent one wear into the corner last turn. This turn he accelerates to 100
onto the blue racing line. The rule is you can't spend more wear in the next space, which
he does not. Then, with Bauska blocking the line he shifts to the 60s to finish the corner.
This costs two wear, the one he already spent and one additional.
