Introduction Welcome to the Formula 1 championship of 1976. James Hunt and Nikki Lauda are battling out to see who will be the champion for the year. Re-create the drama and excitement of this terrific year of motor racing. Using your skill in acceleration and braking, managing your tyres and fuel you will battle it out to see who wins the race. This is an all skill game, with no luck and no dice. You will rely entirely on your skill to out-finesse your opponents and come in first. 1976 Formula One is suitable for players aged 12 and upwards and can be played solo or with 2-8 players. Components Full colour race map 8 cars in colours 8 car control mats in matching colours 40 Markers Setup Each driver can allocate 12 points between Engines, Brakes and Tyres. Throughout the race, drivers may use these to boost their performance. Turn Sequence The lead car moves first, the inside car moves before an outside car. You have 5 seconds to move your car. The car must move the number of squares indicated on the gear stick. At the end of the turn the driver sets a new speed, normally plus or minus 1 the current speed. The next player should already be making their move while you are doing this. The driver may use one ENGINE point (reduce the marker on the car tile) to accelerate an additional 1 speed The driver may use one BRAKE point (reduce the marker on the car tile) to decelerate an additional 1 speed Handling Corners If the car moves onto the tile too fast then the car crashes. If the car moves onto the tile at too fast, the driver can use tyre points to stay on the road.
