Clarifications from the FAQ
- [Crew] The second car moved by a Teamwork card can receive a High Line or Low Line pack bonus if it ends on the required line.
- [Crew] “X Back In It” moves forward until the active car reaches the next car and links directly behind it.
- [Crew] With variable pit stops, you may discard only one Tire or Fuel token even if you hold more.
- [Crew] The designer’s available post says the expansion’s Green Flag pit stop is not used during a Yellow Flag restart because that situation was not tested.
- [Crew] When exiting the pits, base rules ignore the card’s movement type and text. Passive Solo bonuses and separate actions such as Work the Pack can still apply.
