Watch “Car Wars: Crossbows & Chassis - Two Lap Race #1 - full timelapse,” a gameplay video for Car Wars from Stephen Barber on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Stephen Barber on YouTube:

Welcome to the American Auto Duel Association's Amateur night! Using the low tech, no armour, hand weapons only Crossbows & Chassis variant from Autoduel Quarterly Vol. 1 No. 3. House rule, 2nd hit to pedestrian only 50% chance of unconsciousness instead of automatic. Race Rules: - Each player given a car and $500 to equip driver and gunner. - First and second teams to have at least one member cross the finish line (on foot or in a vehicle) advance to  semi-finals. - No weapons fire allowed until the lead car completes one lap. Tonight's racers: Position 1: Driver: Max - heavy pistol, extra ammo  spikes, Brick Gunner: Stu - Shotgun, extra ammo, spikes, brick Position 2: Driver: Shelley - spikes, body armour Gunner: Crossbow, 20 bolts Position 3: Driver: Cash - heavy pistol, extra ammo Gunner: Snake - Submachine gun Position 4: Driver: Crusher - no gear Gunner: Bruce - light anti-tank weapon (one shot) As the drivers take the first corner, Crusher (4th place) loses control, spins out, and hits the wall. Coming to a complete stop and damaging his tires and chassis. Around the second corner, Cash (3rd place) skids wide and careens off the wall, taking a little damage and losing some speed. Max (1st place) continues to lead around the 3rd and fourth corners with Shelley (2nd place) close behind. Both are pushing 90mph. As Max crosses the finish line for the first time, weapons go live! Shelley's gunner Vicki fires her crossbow at Max and scores a hit on the driver! Luckily Max makes the roll to stay concious. After rounding the first bend, Max throws spikes out the window, unfortunately hitting them with his own back tire. Shelley has no chance to avoid the spikes, but before she hits them, Vicki fires off another crossbow bolt. It's another direct hit on Max, who is killed. Somehow Stu is lucky enough to maintain control as he pushes Max's body out of the car and slides into the driver's seat. Shelley hits the spikes and loses control, her car rolling four times and coming to rest against the outer wall. The car is totalled but Vicki and Shelley make a dash across the track to cover, dropping spikes on the track on their way. They lay in wait to shoot at any cars coming round that corner. Crusher, in last place and about to be lapped by Stu (now driving Max's car), decides to pull into stationary position across the track to give Bruce the best chance with his one-shot anti-tank weapon. As Stu rounds the corner Bruce takes the shot. It's a hit! Unfortunately it passes through the vehicle and explodes harmlessly against the outer wall. Crusher peels out with Stu in pursuit. Meanwhile Cash skids around the first corner of his second lap, causing three of his already damaged tires to blow out. He spins out, bounces off the outer wall, and comes to rest against the inside edge. Cash and Snake decide to wait in ambush for Crusher to reach them. Crusher turns the fourth corner, about to end his first lap, with Stu close behind, about to finish the race! Stu manages to shoot out one of Crusher's tires, but since he's slowed down to 30 mph Crusher maintains control. At the other end of the track a firefight breaks out between the two crew waiting in ambush. Vicki, who is closest to the finish line and has body armour and no weapons, decides to start running for it. If Crusher is taken out around the first two corners she can still get 2nd place. Stu continues to take shots at Crusher, but once he crosses the finish line he is done the race! He slows down to pull into the pitstop as Crusher heads into the waiting pedestrian ambush. As he takes the first corner again, he drifts to avoid the spikes in the road. He skids and loses a second tire, hitting the wall and coming to a stop right in front of Cash and Snake who promptly empty their guns into the car at point blank range, putting and end to Crusher and Snake's autodueling careers. This leaves Vicky, on foot, who is now to far ahead for anyone to catch her. She crosses the finish line to take 2nd place! 1st Place: Max (RIP) and Stu 2nd Place: Vicki and Shelley 3rd Place: Cash and Snake 4th Place: Crusher (RIP) and Bruce (RIP)

About Car Wars, from BoardGameGeek:

Drive offensively! Car Wars is a game featuring freeways of the future in which the right of way goes to those with the biggest guns. Players choose their vehicle - complete with weapons, armor, power plants, suspension, and even body style - then they take them out on the road, either to come home as "aces" or to crash and burn. If a driver survives, his abilities improve and he can earn money to buy bigger and better cars. Advanced rules let players design their own customized cars, trucks, and cycles. This entry covers Car Wars and Car Wars Deluxe, the first two editions of the rules. See also: Car Wars Compendium, a.k.a. CWC and CWCII, for the third and fourth editions of the rules Car Wars (Fifth Edition) for the revised and simplified edition of the game Mini Car Wars, an introductory version of Car Wars originally printed on a single sheet of paper, requiring only a pencil and six-sided dice. Car Wars Series for a complete list of expansions and supplements (including Autoduel Quarterly, the forty-issue Car Wars magazine)
