PitchCar Expansion 4, Coming from Ferti at Spiel 08

Ferti will introduce a new expansion for PitchCar at Spiel 08 subtitled Stunt Race, and this fourth expansion will include material that lets you bring the car-flicking race game to a whole new level – literally. Yes, PitchCar: Stunt Race includes support blocks, ramps and track joiners – along with suggested circuits – that create a two-story race structure that will undoubtedly have your car sailing far beyond the rails as you gun the engine up the ramp.

Note, too, that the box cover shows a ramp support being placed in the center of the base level of track, providing an extra challenge on the ground – should working your arm through the supports in order to reach your car not be enough. PitchCar: Stunt Race retails for €40, but will be available at Spiel 08 for €34.

What was expansion 3? The long straights?

Yes, the Long Straights are the 3rd expansion (but it is not numbered).

Maybe you know… what’s about Pitchar mini? Will Stunt Race expansion be only for larger version?

For the moment, this 4th expansion is only for Red Pitchcar. At this time, we don’t know if we’ll do it for Pitchcar Mini.

So what materials are the supports made of?  The white stuff could be painted wood or it could be styrofoam.  Does anyone know?

Rody, is there a weight estimate on the expansion? I’ve got someone willing to pick up things for me at Essen this year, but I have to be careful about weights.

We use polystyrene (a very hard one, not easily friable) .

~ 1,2 kg.
