I got the second flag and took note that I was about only an hour or so from the last person who left.
Before I took off to the next city, however, I got out of the pod, and made a quick check on the state of the pod. Deeming it still in good shape, I only tweaked a few formations to decrease wind resistance then hopped back on.
This looked strange to the person who handed me the flag since I was probably the only one who checked on the state of my vehicle. The rest took their flags and sped out.
Though I lost a few precious minutes, I felt better when I realized that I could still further push this pod.
I then moved forward blasting towards the next city, White Peaks.
It seems that these are the first three cities we'll need to cross, and they will be the first phase of the race. Three White Cities, Three Red Cities, and one Black city, as the final destination.
