“If you were going any slower, you'd be going backwards!”
―Max to Buster

The Tortoise and the Hare is the tenth episode of Jack and the Sodor Construction Company. It was released on Thomas' Trusty Friends.

Plot

Thomas takes Buster to the newly built Sodor Racetrack to smooth the track, but Max and Monty tease Buster about being slow and challenge him to a race. When the work is done, Miss Jenny allows Max, Monty, and Buster to test the racetrack. Max and Monty race off with Buster trundling behind, but Max and Monty argue about who jumped the line and end up in a ditch, while Buster trundles ahead and wins the race. When Thomas takes Buster home, Max and Monty argue over who came in second and third.
