About the game

What you do in a play session

If you've already hit the gas on the Formula D tracks and feel like you need more, get ready! The "Circuits 1" expansion brings two new layouts to make your races even more electrifying. First up is Sebring, Florida, an endurance racing classic stretching nearly 6km of pure adrenaline. This track is a true test for cars and drivers, blending long straights demanding top speed with slow, technical turns that require surgical precision. Imagine the Florida heat and your vehicle's resilience pushed to the limit!

Then, we switch gears and head to the heart of Chicago with a street circuit that will make you feel like a getaway driver (the legal kind!). This urban track throws you through the city streets, past imposing skyscrapers, charming parks, and, of course, those tight turns in residential areas that will test your ability not to hit anything. We're talking about an urban challenge that demands total control and a bit of luck to navigate city traffic and cross vertigo-inducing bridges. It's a chance to feel the thrill of motorsport in iconic urban settings, adding more variety and challenges to the already fantastic Formula D. Perfect for those who want to extend the base game and experience new strategies and excitements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the base Formula D game to use this expansion?
Absolutely! This expansion only adds the circuits, so you need to own the base Formula D game to play with the new tracks.
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion itself doesn't change the player count. It uses the same rules and limits as the base Formula D game, which supports 2 to 10 players.
Are the new tracks harder than those in the base game?
Yes, the Sebring and Chicago tracks are designed to be more challenging, with more technical and demanding layouts, especially Chicago with its tight urban turns.
What is the average game time with this expansion?
The playtime remains similar to the base game, generally around 60 minutes, depending on the number of players and their familiarity with the new tracks.
Does this expansion add new rules or just circuits?
This expansion focuses exclusively on adding two new circuits to the game. The core rules of Formula D remain the same.
Is it worth it for casual players?
If you already enjoy Formula D and want more variety, yes! The tracks are really cool, but if you're looking for something super straightforward, the base game tracks might be more direct.
