About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey there, racing fans! Ready to put the pedal to the metal and rev up your Grand Prix experience? This expansion pack introduces four legendary circuits that will test your driving skills to the limit: Silverstone, Monza, Monaco, and Spa-Francorchamps. Inspired by real Formula 1 tracks, these new layouts promise unprecedented challenges and plenty of adrenaline. Three of them were specifically designed with Grand Prix in mind, but all can also be used in Thunder Alley, adding versatility. Monza stands out, offering three distinct layouts: the classic oval, the road course, and a monster combined course that sends you back through the oval after completing a circuit of the road course. Each track demands masterful hand management to devise the best strategy and cross the finish line first. If you love racing and crave more variety and challenges for your Grand Prix sessions, this expansion is a must-have. Get ready to feel the thrill of racing on the world's most iconic motorsport venues!
