When I began playing this, this is pretty much how I envisioned--and how it came to be--the way to play:
GM: Alright, you're exiting the straight. Curve 4. What do you do?
Player: Medium.
Here, the GM rolls the appropriate die for the speed (in this case, 1d6) and sees if the player beats out the curve's level of 4. If the player is successful, I always like to give a resounding "Yes!" or "Alright!" or my favorite, "Got it!"--its up to you, and these little things get the player excited about playing. (Imagine the emotion if he took the curve 4 with a fast motion, rolling a 1d4...and got it!)
...And if he doesn't make it, quickly roll the d20 and report: "Ooh! What a crash/grind/spin out! You lose___meters and your opponent is now catching up!" and the like.
Pretty much, just keep the race going. When I play with my friends, we end up sweating near the end.--That's a great feeling to have when playing a role-playing game, and I hope that all of the fun that I've had with this will happen in your gaming zone as well.
Best wishes,
