Blitz Bolide

BLITZ BOLIDE is a racing car game based on Formula 1 race.

THE PURPOSE OF BLITZ BOLIDE IS TO PLAY WITH 1/64 MINIATURE AND HAVE GREAT FUN IN DOING THAT. At this scale, a car has 7,5 cm or 3 inches length.

Blitz Bolide is played on tracks which are made of spaces. The average length of a lap is between 40 spaces (fast tracks) and 60 spaces (long tracks).

HOW TO PLAY : a car has four levels of gear : low, intermediate, high, and extreme.

Each turn, his driver can increase or decrease this gear by 1 level.

After that, he rolls 2 dice : according to the results of the dice, and according to the gear, the car is moved by a certain number of spaces.

Move bonuses (in terms of spaces) are given by tyres, fuel gauge, suspension, etc...

Once moved, a car can engage another car in order to gain its position.

There are two important difficulties in the game :

a) How to manage the Damage Points (DP) ?

Each car begins the race with 8 DPs. DPs are lost during brutal brakings, during engagement, when the car is going out of track, at extreme gear, etc...

A car is eliminated if it goes under 0 DP.

The higher the speed, the faster you lose DPs. But you cannot win if your speed is too low...Here Pit Stop strategy is very important for purpose of managing DPs.
