I am pretty sure it is y to the 24th power.
1 and 8 are alternate exterior
The distance covered by the hare and the tortoise in t seconds are 8t and 5t respectively. (Simple Speed-Distance-Time relation)
The tortoise gets a 510m headstart so at t=0 is 1490m.
The functions representing the distance of both of them from the finish line is,
F(x)=2000-8t,. for hare
G(x)=1490-5t,. for tortoise
