Answer:

To determine who will win the derby, we can divide the total distance (25 meters) by the distance covered in every 2 seconds (3 meters):

25 meters / 3 meters every 2 seconds = 8.33

This means that the go-kart will cover the distance 8 times and partially complete another cycle before reaching the finish line. Therefore, whoever completes the 9th cycle first will win the derby. Since we don't have any information about the other competitors, we cannot determine who will win the derby.
