How this is tested passed

This tutorial is also an acceptance test. Its report has every step, check and screenshot from the last run.

The user story: As a pilot, I want to race other planes round the pylons, so that I can practise fast, tight turns against somebody.

When the pilot starts a race
Then the game is a race
When the pilot throws the plane with the throttle
Then the game clock is counting down
  And the plane is flying
When the countdown ends
Then the game clock is running
When the pilot flies the race
Then the lap count is 5
  And the game clock is stopped
