Steer to victory is our newest edition of Race Pace. This edition was launched officially at Spiel Essen (October 2023). The main difference compared to the original edition are:
- redesigned modular player boards in the form of a steering wheel, which better fits the context of the game
- all game modes are now integrated in the game: regular version, single player (bot mode), team play mode, driver academy mode
- 2 new circuits
- 2 action buttons are changed, making the game more interactive and allowing more diverse strategies
- redesigned box and a rewritten rulebook
- multiple other changes as well, but these are mainly related to the visual design
Improve your pace & win the race
In the highest racing championship, the drivers stand in the spotlight. They have to be skilled, fearless and experienced. But racing is mostly a true team sport. Hundreds of engineers, designers and mechanics work together to find the optimal Race Pace. The person responsible to lead the team to victory is the Team Manager, and that is you!
First every player selects a team and contracts a driver (or two). At the start of every game round, race situation cards and the weather card are turned. These cards can impact the race pace of your car in a positive or negative way. Then, every player gets to take only 1 action: adjust the car setup to increase the basic race pace, coach the driver to overcome race situations, block your opponents, make a pit stop, et cetera. When every player has selected their action, the race pace of each car is adjusted. The cars are moved forward on the circuit with their race pace (number of race laps per game round), taking special skills of the drivers in consideration, and the tyre degredation marker is moved forward to indicate the tyre age. Whoever crossing the finish line the first, wins!
No race is the same
Choose from 8 drivers, 8 race teams and 14 circuits, each with a different difficulty, tyre degredation and weather conditions. During the race, situations will occur that change the course of the game. From your radio control centre at the pit wall, you anticipate or react to these situations. You give the orders:
- Use the best tyres: Soft, Medium, Hard or Wets?
- Improve the setup of the car: are you upgrading the engine or the aerodynamics?
- Coach your driver: improve their skill or train them to make them more experienced
- Make strategic decisions or defend your position
- Charge or use your Boost-system at the right moment
- Make sure to call your driver to the pit at the right time for a change of tyres!
With each lap your car and driver will improve, increasing the Race Pace…but so does the competition!
Do you have the best strategy to win the race?
Team mode
Race Pace has an alternative gameplay variant: the Team Mode. In Team Mode, each player manages one team with two drivers, or two players can team up with two different drivers for the same team! The gameplay changes in a way that you can now help each other (or your team mate). However, winning the game in Team Mode is also a team effort, so sacrificing one driver for the race win of the other is not sufficient. This gives the Team Mode a new dimension to the race strategies.
Bot / Solo mode
Race Pace is even more fun with more cars on track. But how to manage that when there are no fellow players available of when you’re with a small party? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. You can add bots to the track to fill the starting grid up to the maximum number of 8 drivers (including the real players). The bot actions are taken based on the drawn race situation cards.
