RACE FUEL FAQs

Race Fuel is an interactive card game designed to be played while watching a live motorsports race. Each player starts with five cards tied to events that can happen during the live broadcast. When an event on one of your cards happens, you score the card and draw another. The live race controls the game, so every race creates a different experience. Race Fuel works with NASCAR, Formula 1, IndyCar, and other live racing broadcasts.

Each player starts with five cards and chooses one All-Star Driver before the green flag. During the live race, watch for the events shown on your cards. When one happens, play the card, score its points, follow the card action, and draw a replacement so you return to five cards.

Your hand continues changing throughout the race as different events happen. All-Star Driver bonuses, Challenge cards, and Stage and End-of-Race cards add additional ways to score. The player with the most points at the checkered flag wins.

Race Fuel works best with 2–8 players, and solo play works too. Each player uses their own five-card hand and All-Star Driver. For larger watch parties, players can also split into teams.

No. Race Fuel does not require racing trivia or extensive racing knowledge. If you can follow what is happening during the live broadcast, you can play. The cards tell you what events to watch for, making Race Fuel easy to play with longtime racing fans and casual viewers alike.

Race Fuel works with NASCAR, Formula 1, IndyCar, and other live racing broadcasts that feature common race and broadcast moments such as cautions, pit stops, restarts, lead changes, interviews, commercials, and in-car cameras. The cards react to what happens during the live race, so Race Fuel is not limited to one racing series.

Yes. Alcohol is optional. Players can use water, soda, mocktails, or another non-alcoholic drink and still play Race Fuel. The game is driven by the live race and its card-based scoring, so everyone can participate regardless of what they are drinking. Alcohol should only be consumed by adults of legal drinking age and should always be consumed responsibly.

No app is required. Race Fuel is a physical card game played alongside the live race broadcast. You need the Race Fuel deck and a live race to watch—then the events happening during the broadcast control the game. Drinks are optional.

A Race Fuel game lasts as long as the live race you are watching. Because the cards react to events throughout the broadcast, the game continues from the start of the race through the checkered flag. If you want a shorter game, you can also play along with a single stage or portion of the race.

Each Race Fuel game includes a 108-card deck, a complete instruction booklet, one custom Race Fuel can sleeve, and one Race Fuel sticker. The 108-card deck includes more than 50 unique race and broadcast events, along with Challenges, Stage cards, End-of-Race scoring, and All-Star Driver gameplay.
