Hi again, the formatting of the race report wasn't the only thing gone wrong. There were several typing errors in the report. Thanks to Remi and Jorge for pointing them out. If you had trouble downloading the movie files, that too was the result of a typo. They should work now. I hope this one gets through like it's supposed to... -- RARS Race Report & News About Upcoming Races March 12th, 1999 RARS is the Robot Auto Racing Simulation, a competition for programmers and an on-going challenge for practicioners of Artificial Intelligence and real-time adaptive optimal control.

Maido Remm entered a slightly changed version of Apex8, and Remi and Doug sent me new versions of their drivers. There is also a new driver, SAD (Simple Autonomous Driver) by Miguel Nicolau and Michael O'Neill. As per several people's requests, there are now seperate rankings for driver and programmer.
