How the races work

When you press Start, the finishing order is decided fairly at random by your device’s secure random number generator. The racers then speed up and slow down along the way, so the lead changes and nobody knows who will win until the end. Tick Remove the winner after each race to pick a different person each time – handy for choosing who goes next.

Questions

Is the winner really random?

How many racers can there be?

Up to 12. Type one name per line, press “Use icon names” to name them after the racers (Apple, Tractor, Red monster…), or press “Use numbers” to number them.
