A calculated gamble
Lord Rochester takes your sovereigns with a wink. "I've heard a lot of tall talk about your Driver's capabilities. Let's see if there's any truth in it."
Your Driver steps into their borrowed locomotive, emblazoned with the colours of one of the retired racers of the Club. They give you a last wave, before the door shuts and steam pours from the engine. The flag falls. They are away. Game note: Return in a month to find out how your Driver fared in the race!

| Collect your winnings
The Driver has returned in triumph.

Triumph!
No sooner has Lord Rochester deposited a fat purse of sovereigns into your hands, than the Driver is clasping you in a fierce hug and covering you in champagne.
After a breathless recitation of dizzying turns taken out past the graveyards of Memoriam, and along the spine of Hostrop's Deep, the Driver embraces you. Muffled in your coat, they thank you very much for your support.

| Commiserate with the Driver
They returned bereft of glory.

One more time
The Driver is in better spirits than you'd have imagined. They clap the Careless Deviless on the back and toast to Lord Rochester's health with the rest of the club.
"Next time, Addressed As(SpeechInformal). Next time I'll win." Their smile is easy, but their eyes are pleading.

| Look for the Driver
They are not in the clubhouse, and the race is over. Where could they have gone?

Distress signal
Lord Rochester takes a moment to remember who you mean. He frowns, ever so slightly. "Oh dear. How sad. A racer down. Must have crashed somewhere." His expression brightens. "Lucky they have you to go and rescue them, eh?"

| Pick the Driver up
It's time they were back aboard your engine.

Back to the stars
The Driver's face falls. Then, they let out a long sigh. "I suppose it has been some time. Just promise me we'll go somewhere exciting. If I have to spend another week on Port Prosper one more time, I shall scream."
