From publisher site: Announcing four new tracks for Grand Prix! Every race track in the Thunderverse has a historical counterpart. Some are more famous and well known than others. The four newest tracks, specifically designed to enhance Grand Prix, are no different. Adding to the 13 previous series tracks, the Grand Prix Track Pack provides four new tracks based on the most famous F1 courses in the world; Silverstone, Monza, Monaco and Spa-Francorchamps. Each provides new challenges for racers. Three of the tracks are designed with just Grand Prix in mind. Monza utilizes the historic oval to create three unique experiences, the oval, the road course, and the monster combined course requiring a trip through the oval after completing a circuit of the road course. Each track can be used for both Grand Prix and Thunder Alley.
Grand Prix: New Track Pack supports 2–11 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Grand Prix: New Track Pack is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Grand Prix: New Track Pack for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Grand Prix: New Track Pack has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Grand Prix: New Track Pack belongs to these categories: Racing, Expansion for Base-game, and Sports. Its main mechanics are Hand Management.

The credited designers of Grand Prix: New Track Pack are: Jeff Horger and Carla Horger.

The catalogue lists Grand Prix: New Track Pack as an expansion for Grand Prix. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Grand Prix to use it. Check that your edition of Grand Prix is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
