Top Gear Motorsport 1993

Top Gear Motorsport is one of several board games based on the popular BBC UK television series Top Gear hosted by Jeremy Clarkson.

The object of this racing trivia game is to be the first past the chequered flag at the end of an agreed number of between 1 & 11 laps.

Movement around the circuit depends on answering some pretty tough motorsport questions. Get the answer right and your foot is on the accelerator, get it wrong and you are going backwards!

Though (motoring) trivia based there are many variables which can improve or reduce your chances of winning: The circuit itself is tortuous so keeping to the racing line is essential. Hazard and weather cards, which can turn the track into a skid-pan make life interesting so choice of tires is critical, as is choice of fuel.
