Car Wars 5th edition physics problem

Hi,

I played Car Wars 5th edition for the first time on Saturday. The Three phase system has a problem with the physics in that a car moving at a high velocity can pass a car with a low velocity during its movement phase and then when the lower velocity car moves it can initiate a collision onto the rear of the car with the higher velocity.

In essence you have a slower moving vehicle colliding with a faster moving vehicle that is both in front of it at moving in the same direction, which is impossible.

This could not happen in the Deluxe edition because in each phase a car was only moving one or two inches.

I've been playing Car Wars since I was eight and in my opinion the re-release edition was the best one because it had the deluxe edition phase system with only six phases. The only thing I thought might be better with the 5th edition was the larger scale would be good for hobbyists who prefer building and painting models.
