GMT Games is taking preorders for the Thunderverse Track Pack. The expansion features four new race tracks for use with Jeff and Carla Horger’s Thunder Alley, Grand Prix, and currently out of print Apocalypse Road. You can reserve a copy of the Track Pack for the P500 price of $19.00 with an eventual MSRP of $28.00. On a side note, I’ve reviewed all three of these racing games and they’re excellent!
About the expansion:
The Thunderverse, home of Thunder Alley, Grand Prix, and the wilder little brother Apocalypse Road. Each game has its own rhythm and sensibilities. But each needs specific tracks upon which to compete. Over time these tracks become the comfortable backgrounds in the stories. But eventually, players will seek out and desire new challenges and changing backgrounds. First there was the Thunder Alley track pack, and it introduced dirt racing and a few legendary multi-purpose tracks. Then new tracks were created focused on Grand Prix.
Now we have the first Track Pack designed with the entire Thunder Alley racing series (known by the designer as The Thunderverse) in mind. No matter what your preferred game, this expansion has something for you. I ask that once again; please overlook my horrible artistic endeavors here. I promise these will NOT be the final versions. You can trust me, every track has looked like this before the artists turned them into spectacular centerpieces.
Charlotte
A classic oval perfect for Thunder Alley, but with a few chicanes and an infield course designed to challenge Grand Prix drivers as well.
Chicago
Not only is it a grueling road course setup to challenge Grand Prix and Thunder Alley fans, but we snuck in an Apocalypse Road course in the otherwise unused corners of the course. Chicago invites everyone to compete.
Montreal
Montreal is a primarily Grand Prix course, but it does make a nice alternate for Thunder Alley. We tried to squeeze an Apocalypse Road track into the infield area, but it was not a fun course and not at all an attractive look.
Stowe Circuit
Stowe was designed as an Apocalypse Road track. But the tight footprint allowed us to easily add a Thunder Alley/Grand Prix course around the outside. Sometimes things just work out perfectly.
