Looking across the field, aside from the lightning-fast speed unique to sprint races, this Simulation Race differed considerably from the races she had participated in before in every aspect of professionalism.
It could almost be said that most of the examinees were relying solely on the reckless vigor of newborn calves unafraid of tigers, charging and sprinting blindly down the track with no strategy or technique whatsoever.
