i am working on a top down racing game, and currently i am trying to get the car to go on top of the racetrack. There are 2 cars, one is the computer's car (not finished) and the other is the user controlled car, however when i run the programme the user's car is behind the track, but still moves normally. I have tried a few different things, but the user's car never seems to get on top of the track. So i am mainly asking how to get the user's car on top of the track.
Thank you

The problem lies in the for
loop in which you blit the sprite images:
for sprite in all_sprites:
screen.blit(background.image, background.rect.topleft+camera)
screen.blit(sprite.image, sprite.rect.topleft+camera)
Here you blit the background and one of the sprites, then you blit the background again and the next sprite. So the background will be blit above the previous sprites in each iteration of the for
loop.
Just blit the background once before the loop and then the sprites:
screen.fill(WHITE)
screen.blit(background.image, background.rect.topleft+camera)
for sprite in all_sprites:
screen.blit(sprite.image, sprite.rect.topleft+camera)
