Choose some type of object that would make sense to compete in a race (ie. boxcar, horse, person, ships, bikes, greyhounds, snails... be creative). Formulate a class of this type of object. It will have a fixed speed it can run (or drive) and maximum distance it can go before becoming exhausted (or running out of gas). It should also have a name to identify it by, but keep it simple (ie. 'Horse 0', 'Horse 1', etc.). During the initialization, the speed and maximum distance should be determined by a random value within a range that makes sense for that type of object, but with no units (ie. assuming miles you would use 40-44 for horse speedLinks to an external site. and 2 for distance of a horse raceLinks to an external site.). Use random.uniform(val1,val2) if you want to generate a random decimal value rather than an integer, particularly useful with small numbers.

Formulate a race that is initialized with a distance that is specified when it is created (ie. pass as a parameter to the __init__). The number of racers can be determined when a new race is started using a start_race method. You'll also need a method to determine which racer wins (based on highest speed within the given distance). Be sure to consider what happens if no one wins!

In your main function, Formulate a race with a distance of your choice, print the race distance, and start the race with 5 racers, and print out the details of each racer (name, speed, max distance), and then determine which one wins and print the result of the race. Using the same race (don't form a new one), start the race with 8 racers and again print out the details of each racer and then print out which one wins.

Here is a possible output from a Horse race (note that the results of the races will be different each time you run it):
