## Description
Fasten your seatbelts and get ready for the pure adrenaline of Formula D! In this game, you take the wheel of a racing car in a frantic dash to cross the finish line first. The game blends strategic planning with a healthy dose of luck, simulating the experience of racing on both classic F1 circuits and chaotic street tracks.

The core mechanic revolves around gear management. Each gear uses a different die: the higher the gear, the higher the speed, but the greater the risk. You must decide whether to shift up to gain ground or downshift to navigate a corner without spinning out. Corners are the real challenge, requiring you to stop at the location for a specific number of turns; ignoring this leads to heavy penalties.

As in any real race, things can go south quickly. Collisions, heavy braking, and miscalculations cause damage to your vehicle. You'll need to monitor your dashboard to keep track of tire health, brakes, suspension, engine, and transmission. If any of these attributes hit zero, you're out of the race!

The game is incredibly versatile. Looking for something casual? Use the simple rules. Want to simulate a professional championship? Use the advanced rules with pit stops, tire changes, and even weather effects like rain, which make the track slippery. For those who crave more chaos, the street tracks allow for dirty tricks, nitro boosts, and even weapon battles, turning the race into an action-packed video game experience. With pre-painted miniatures and an intuitive damage management system, Formula D turns your table into a racetrack where precision and audacity are the keys to victory.
