Downforce is a card-driven betting, racing, and bidding game for 2-6 players based on Top Race, the award-winning design by the legendary Wolfgang Kramer.

Players first bid to purchase the six cars in the race, then they play cards from their hand to speed them around the track. Most cards will also move their opponents' cars. So deciding just the right time to play a card is the key to victory. Along the way, players also make secret bets on who they believe will win the race. The player who has the most money from their prize money, winning bets, and remaining bank wins.
