A new circuit on every page
The track is drawn over 5 mm graph paper with a shaded road and a dashed start and finish line. Choose an oval, a curvy circuit or a wild one; change the puzzle number or add pages for new layouts.
How to play
- Each player picks a colour and starts on a grid point on the start line.
- The first move is one point in any direction.
- After that, repeat your last move and adjust the end point by at most one point in any direction.
- Leave the track and you crash: miss a turn and restart slowly.
- The first car across the line after a full lap wins.

Frequently asked questions
How does movement work in racetrack?
Each move repeats your previous move (same distance and direction), and you may then shift the end point by one grid point in any direction. That is how you accelerate, brake and steer.
Why is every page different?
The track is generated from the puzzle number and the page, so adding ten pages gives you ten different circuits.
