Nice! What would make this even better is if you'd have a restart, seconds after each elimination. Now, a tactic is just to get a gap, and for the leaders, it feels like mostly a normal race. If you'd force a restart after each elimination, there's no incentive to get a real gap anymore, and it starts to become all about strategy: conserving as much energy as possible, while not letting yourself be surprised/locked in.
