Ahh, but is it? Think of the number of automated things which are taken
for granted on muds - most of these are sideline things, right, because
they involve no player interaction?
If there is a way to create 'racing' but keep the players interactive
(perhaps by letting them take shots at each other as they go around, or
pacing themselves with a speed control - maybe even lane-changing or
trying to cheat and get away with it in a fair environment), then it can
be fun.
Otherwise, as i just said in a previous post, it'll be more interesting to
bet on the outcome, than to participate.
