About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to hit the gas with the Formula D: Circuits 4 – Grand Prix of Baltimore & Buddh expansion! This beauty brings two new circuits to your base game, one on each side of the board: the Baltimore street circuit and the famous Buddh track in India. Brace yourself to test your nerves of steel in Baltimore, where every corner demands precision to avoid crashing and launch out like a rocket. Meanwhile, in Buddh, speed is key, but watch out! The engineers have optimized overtakes there, so your opponents might appear at any moment. Managing your braking and acceleration effectively is crucial to dominate these tracks. It's an expansion that adds more excitement and challenges for those who already enjoy Formula D, without overcomplicating the rules. Perfect for anyone looking to switch up the tracks and feel the adrenaline of new races.
