Obtains racing conditions and starts moving (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
gets going
'starts moving' is the definition.
'gets going' can be an answer for 'starts' ('get going' can be a synonym of 'start'). I am not sure about the 'moving' bit.
'obtains racing conditions' is the wordplay.
'obtains' becomes 'gets' ('get' can be a synonym of 'obtain').
'racing conditions' becomes 'going' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'gets'+'going'='GETS GOING'
'and' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
