Supercharged

from The Dietz Foundations:

Supercharged is a game about motor racing in the 1930s for 1-5 players. The system allows for a full grid of cars — not just the players’, but also privateers that ran alongside, and usually hindered, the factory teams.

Each player controls two racing teams: one in the top category and another slower team unlikely to win, but capable of reaching the podium and ending in the money. That is important since the game’s winner is based on money earned. Winning, though, is adjusted based on the level of cars a player selects, so taking the “best” cars may not be the optimal strategy for victory when the car ability bonus is applied.
