man sprintf.

sprintf (buf, "%-10s", racename)

%-10s means that this argument will be padded so it takes up at least 10
spaces, by adding spaces on the RIGHT side.

%10s however ,means to pad on the right side. This is useful for numbers
,e.g. %2d will show " 2" or "22".

%02d (leading 0) means to use 0s rather than spaces.
