It's like a blend between Heat and Thunder Road.

Played a demo at GenCon. It was super fun with four players. Really looking forward to getting this on the table.

This game has a lot of elements from Rallyman GT with the dice and the shifting. Really enjoyed your play through!

Me: Ehh, the artwork's not my style, but I'll watch the playthrough anyway.
Me halfway through: Actually, this looks pretty fun. I don't need to back any new Kickstarters, though.
Me at the end of the video: Well, let me just go look at the campaign...

Excellent demonstration of how to play. Thanks!

Thanks for the playthrough - you both expertly navigated a tricky track (although I was rooting for some nitro explosions!)

[OrangeCrushD]

You guys sold me on this one! thanks a lot (sarcastically says my bank account lol)

This game looks like a lot of fun. Thank you for the play through. I backed it on KS.

Ive seen many comment how this looks like a mix of Heat and Thunder Road and I couldnt agree more!
Easier and quicker to setup and manage compared to Thunder Road, and more chaos and interaction than Heat! And just beautiful, love the car tokens!

Weirdly this throws me back to playing Combat Cars (Battlecars) when a was a kid, the games are almost nothing alike of course but there is something nostalgic about it :)
Will def look this up when it arrives in stores!

Very enjoyable Gameplay like always!
may i ask where you Dicetray is from?

So great to see how much more fun roll and move games are compared to the old school ones! This seems like a nice addition to the racing game genre. I like the theming and art quite a bit.
I will be that pedantic car guy though and complain about the misuse of the term "nitro" in games. In the context of cars, "Nitro" is short for nitromethane, which is a type of fuel commonly used in the fastest classes of dragsters and funny cars. The term they should use is "nitrous", short for nitrous oxide, which is the power-adder that comes in a bottle and is sprayed into the engine at the push of a button for a horsepower boost as depicted in so many games.
I'll step off my soap box and we can get back to the game play :)

Great playthrough as always. Interesting that you didn’t crash much - could that be the larger course (not 2 player version) or that you are both a bit too good at playing games?! I’m leaning towards backing this but would love it if you guys could playthrough or review dungeon cart for comparison

[dreamwarrior]

the game looks good and fun especially that u can set up the track how u wish and u have 4 devices to make it more fun if u play 3-4 people

[alexdavid]

at 49:20, red for the turn could've locked a 2 only, downshifted and still roll the remaining die to turn again and go up to 3 to the right

[JonArt_As_Board]

unrelated to this video, but what do you find is the most effective way of culling games? i cull quite a bit, would like it to be more efficient.

[tiford]

Looks really fun. How does it compare to Thunder Road Vendetta or Heat? Better, worse, different?

[mariuszkania]

Great one. I think it is better than Heat.

[Grimmlocked]

First game I’ve seen where nobody took any damage! That was wild

[MrGainify]

This looks like it could be more fun at a higher player count.

You played the handbrake card 2 different ways.
