PitchCar

This game entry refers to two nearly identical games which are not compatible with one another. Ages 6 and up.

Contents:

 Eight car discs
 One black "spacer" disc
 Six straightaways 
 Ten 90-degree curves 
 Rail pieces for straights and curves

     Carabande was produced by Goldsieber and had only the single expansion with the Action Set.  Both are currently out of print.  It was also produced in a special "Audi" edition, titled Rennspiel-Action. In the BGG photo gallery, Carabande has yellow/orange rails.

     PitchCar is produced by Ferti.  It currently has five expansions which add "tight" curves, crossroads, small jumps, long straightaways, 45-degree curves, and curved bottlenecks.  PitchCar apparently also has two editions, where the first edition has the black laminate on the top and bottom of the track pieces, where the second edition only has the laminate on the top of the track pieces.   In the BGG photo gallery, PitchCar has red rails.
