I need your help

[snip]Instead of rewarding people for damage, penalize them for not completing laps in a certain amount of time.[end snip]

This is a good idea. What you can do is start the timer when the first vehicle completes a lap and then deduct a certain amount of points per phase or turn until the next vehicle crosses and so on. That way, you are encouraged to go fast to cross as soon as possible. You are also encouraged to damage your opponents in order to stop them from crossing but you cannot just sit back without racing yourself.

This is almost making me want to do a racing event!!!
