## Description
Hey racers! If you're already hooked on the adrenaline rush of Formula D and want to amp up your races, this expansion is for you! It brings two brand-new circuits to test your driving skills: Hockenheimring in Germany and the urban circuit of Valencia in Spain. Hockenheimring has been revamped, losing those super-long forest straights from the old version and now presenting a modern challenge ready to put on a show. Valencia awaits you with an urban layout that even brings Monaco to mind, winding through the city and the America's Cup regatta areas. Both circuits demand that you think carefully about your gear management and cornering, using dice rolls to accelerate and brake at the right moments. With these new scenarios, the asphalt action gets even more exciting, whether you're a Formula D veteran or looking to experience more of this wheeled thrill. Get ready to feel the speed and competition in a whole new way!
