About the game
This is a simple game of demolition derby racing. Each player controls a car and tries to speed into the other players. Various setups are possible, such as the free-for-all or the figure-eight race. Cars keep track of damage in a simple fashion, and collisions are resolved with a simple speed-related table and damage cards. Interesting results are locked fenders (the two cars are entangled sitting ducks for a while) and punctured gas tank (which leaves you just a few turns until you become a wreck).
