After waiting 5 months for my order I finally got a copy and boy does it live up to the hype. What a terrific way to map the feeling of racing a car around the track into a boardgame. Pretty easy to teach too, had both my wife and my 10-year-old playing within 10 minutes. Lots of stuff in the box as well to expand the base playing experience.

While I'm not super into the vintage formula 1 theme, the gameplay really looks neat and I dig the elegant engine heat mechanic!
I'm not going to get the game myself but if a friend brought it to the table I'd certainly jump at the opportunity to give it a go. :)

The theme is a big turnoff for me too, which is a shame because I think I'd really like the game.

I know what you mean. Sometimes I am annoyed at myself for theme being so important for me to the detriment of enjoying great mechanics and a fun gameplay loop.

But "the heart wants what it wants" as a friend of mine is always saying.
