## Description
Get your heart racing and floor it! Heat: Tunnel Vision arrives to inject more adrenaline into the 1965 season, bringing new challenges that will test any driver's courage. If you thought mastering the corners was hard, now you'll have to deal with the darkness and tension of tunnels. This expansion introduces two brand-new tracks that completely change the racing dynamic.

In the Spanish Grand Prix, danger lurks in the treacherous tunnels of the Pyrenees. Here, visibility drops and tension rises, forcing you to trust your instincts to avoid a catastrophic crash. Meanwhile, the Netherlands track offers a different thrill: long straights where you can open the engine to full throttle, followed by a succession of tight, dangerous corners that demand absolute precision to keep the car on the road.

But it's not just about new tracks! The expansion introduces the Front Wing upgrade, a technical improvement essential for those who want to master the art of drafting. With this upgrade, you can stick to your opponents' tails and surge forward at the perfect moment. Additionally, new event cards bring unexpected twists that can change the race's outcome in seconds.

For those who love gathering a crowd, Tunnel Vision solves the grid space problem: you can now play with up to seven drivers (including the new purple car). If you already own the Heavy Rain expansion, you can push that number up to eight racers, turning your table into a professional starting grid. It's the perfect blend of strategy and risk for anyone who loves the sensation of speed and the tension of risking everything for the podium.

## How to Play
Goal of the Game
