About the Game

Unusual game in that there are no dice or spinning wheels - a player would advance on the course based on driver skills, car performance, track conditions, and/or aggressiveness compared to the other players!

Both the Sebring and Watkins Glen race course layouts are very accurate to the actual real race courses in 1956! Sports Car Characteristics cards include Ferrari, Austin Healey, Jaguar, Porsche, Mercedes, Talbot Lago, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, and others!

A modified version of the game was published by Avalon Hill as Le Mans.

Contents: 12 cars 8 wet corner markers (pins) 12 car specification cards 30 chance cards 1 double-sided board Rules Score sheets
