About the game
Start up your engine, find the ideal track and leave your opponents behind. Follow the Golden Line to victory. This game simulates real speedway races and lets you and your fellow players to take part in nerve-wracking races in the comfort of home. Experience not only the ride, but also what it is to set up a bike for a race. Faithful models of motorcycles move around the track without frames and the help of an ingenious distance gauge. Bikes perform the classic speedway skid when going around corners. The speed of motorbikes depends on their position on the oval as well as the tuning of the motorcycle and chance, as decided on the throw of a dice. Chance alone, however, is not enough to win; you have to be able to tell when luck will help a bit and some healthy risk-taking is required, and when it is better to step on the gas. The game can be enjoyed with children and friends
