well, usually the track is divided into sectors, so that you can tell if one racer is on a sector that is closer to the finish than other sectors. the added advantage to this is that if you know what sector your racer is on, you only have to perform collision tests against walls in that sector. well, actually, the advantage is the reverse (you get lap data along with your collision system) but that''s how it''s done.
