spending this point the car does not leave a debris counter. Doubled straights A popular house rule is doubled straights, where each space on a straight (i.e., not within a coloured corner area) requires two squares of movement to pass rather than one. On some circuits especially, this encourages the use of high gears (which is otherwise relatively rare) and makes the tactical timing for dealing with the corners even more important. It is very useful in adding elevation and slopage (hills) to a section of roadway. Reception John Kovalic comments: "Aerodynamic as a Lamborghini, the mechanics behind Formula Dé are what let it break away from the pack of so-so speedway games. More than just another racing simulation, the game has become a hobby-market marvel in its own right. Indeed, after a decade and a half in the stores, it's remained as captivating as when it was first introduced." Reviews Backstab (Issue 3 - May/Jun 1997) In popular culture Formula D was played by Wil Wheaton, Grace Helbig, Greg Benson, and Hannah Hart in the second season of Tabletop.
