Blocker: Just as the name implies, he will block other crews trying to pass. The Blockers flaw is he must be behind you to be of any use. Scout: Scouts will find the short cuts on the track for you. The flaw is if you take a turn to fast your scout usually blocks you. Drafter: Drafters will let you draft them to gain speed with less wind resistance. The flaw is that it is difficult to follow so close and really not needed most of the time.
