Consolation Race - Motor Sports (gambling)


Sometimes called the "consy", this is a race for teams who fail to qualify for a feature race or main event. (Some people incorrectly use this term to refer to a B-main.) The consolation typically will come with a small amount of prize money for the top few finishers, or the promoter might offer to cover the day' s expenses of the consy winner. The purpose of the consolation race is to encourage the teams that failed to qualify to come back and try again at the promoter' s next event.
