.lowestPlayerNumber

 SKIP 1                 \ Contains 20 minus the number of players, so that's:
                        \
                        \   * 19 if there is one player
                        \   * 18 if there are two players
                        \
                        \ and so on, down to 0 if there are 20 players
                        \
                        \ Human players take the place of drivers with higher
                        \ numbers, so the first player takes the place of driver
                        \ 19 (the aptly called Dummy Driver, as they never get
                        \ to race), and the second player takes the place of
                        \ driver 18 (Peter Out), the third player replaces
                        \ driver 17 (Rick Shaw) and so on
                        \
                        \ So this not only represents the lowest player number,
                        \ but also the highest non-human driver number (which is
                        \ lowestPlayerNumber - 1)
