  Formula One is a racing game with a difference. Players need to use tactics to maintain a balance between speed, tyre wear and brake wear over an agreed number of laps. The game board represents a race track around which players race their cars. Each player also has a dashboard corresponding to the colour of their car, which acts as a reminder throughout the race of speed, tyre and brake wear and lap indicator.
  Contents Notes
  1 x flexible cardboard playing board race track
6 x dash boards
6 x racing cars
2 x dice
1 x set of 30 tactic cards
1 x set of pit 16 cards
1 x rule book
 

The rule book includes an option on how to play the game as an ongoing league championship.

In this edition, the penalty chart for excessive speed and braking is printed on the game board. In later editions, the penalty chart is a separate free standing card for all players to see.
A very rare first edition of the game.
