Formula Dé by Eurogames, Descartes-Editeur and Asmodee Editions

http://www.asmodee-us.com/games/formula-de/formula-de.php

Formula Dé had plastic cars that were in 1X Car Wars scale. Pewter cars for the game were also available. Because Formula Dé is now permanently out of print, auction Web sites and used game dealers are the sources to consult for these miniatures.

February 10, 2008 Update: Formula Dé was reprinted in its Eurogames/Descartes-Editeur version for the last time in March 2007. This reprint was intended to be the last printing of the game. In January 2008, Asmodee Editions announced Formula De will be released in a new format and edition in 2008. As of February 2008, no announcement has been made regarding miniatures for this item.
