So
you want to be a race car driver? Here is your chance! Are you
a fan of Formula Racing? Do you dream of screaming through the
streets of Monaco at over 200 MPH? Well daydream no more! Now
you can experience the thrill of driving a formula class car on
a real racetrack! Risk-taking, anticipation, tactics and a dash
of luck: These are the ingredients for the high-octane cocktail
needed to win on the world's most prestigious racetracks.
Principle
of the game: The goal of Formula De is simple: Be the first
driver to cross the finish line. Accelerating around the racetrack
is even simpler: Roll a die for each gear. The higher the gear,
the larger the die used and the farther you travel. Sounds easy,
right? But there's a catch! You must conserve your tires, fuel
and engine, and above all, use skillful driving techniques to
negotiate the corners. Push any one of these over the limit, and
you will crash out of the race. Get them all just right, and you
will be on the winners' podium! Blasting through a corner in 6th
gear? Don't worry, at 200 MPH no one will hear you scream!
