Close inspection will reveal that The Fugitives (due entirely to a
suspect kart, of course) were by no means the second fastest
team, but consistency and lack of collisions paid off. In fact, knowing
that the Fugitives couldn't catch Team Torque, and knowing that they had
a couple of laps in hand, Gil nursed the kart over the last twenty
minutes, avoiding all confrontation.
