What this is
In Formula D, players use custom dice to race in the cities and on Formula 1 courses. This forces players to match possible rolls with the optimum distance for that turn, and hopefully plan ahead. Corners have a "stop" rule that requires players to stop once, twice, or three times on that corner in consecutive turns or face a penalty.
