A friend was in from out of town the other night and I knew he’d like the racing game, Championship Formula Racing, so I put it to the table and got us all set up for some three-way racing.  After the obligatory example through the first turn, we reset the track, configured our cars, and started it up.

Bret chose the black Lotus 77 with a slow start speed, high accel/decel and top speed and the worst skill option. Reese went with the blue Tyrrell P34 six-wheel and had lower than average accel/decel, high top speed and a fast start speed.  I decided on the orange March 761 with average accel/decel/start speed, higher top speed and wear, and lower skill.

Earlier this week, I had the chance to break out Championship Formula Racing again. We had 6 players this time with four newbies and two veterans.  As is typical when I play the game with new players, we ran a “practice turn” where we start the race and get through the first turn so that players can understand the rules and have a better idea on building their car.
