4. The countdown event counts down 5 seconds.
5. The start event is sent to every player when the race begins.
6. Send the control command to set the target thrust and angle of your hovercraft.
7. The hovercrafts event is sent repeatedly to every player to update them on the state of all hovercrafts.
