About the game
Hillclimbing is very similar to normal rally racing, except that Drivers compete for the best time on stages featuring steep inclines, sharp turns and very few safety barriers at altitudes that can exceed 4000m (13 000 feet), making them some of the most dangerous events in the racing world. The kind of cars you’ll find powering up such death-defying tracks are also unique in their own right. These tend to be over 1000 horsepower, custom-made prototype cars that can take hairpin turns at over 60km/h (35 mph) and accelerate to speeds in excess of 250km/h (155 mph) at the drop of a hat. That’s what this expansion is all about! Why give you another simple car category when we can place the choice of what kind of car you want to race in YOUR hands? This expansion contains: 6 recessed Dashboards 4 Track tiles 150+ Tokens 5 dice
