Abstract
In a car racing game, one player is given a crown in racecourse units which indicates that the player is the fastest player (champion) of the racecourse. A player can play a crown competition with the player possessing the crown aiming to acquire the crown. For example, when a player Px challenges the crown of the racecourse, the player Px operates a player's car PC and plays a match against a player Pa who is a crown-possessing player of the racecourse. Specifically, the player Px plays a match against a ghost car GC controlled based on ghost data Gaof the player Pa for the racecourse. When the player Px has won the match, the crown of the racecoursepossessed by the player Pa is transferred to (acquired by) the player Px.
