Watch “HEAT Board game review - More like LUKEWARM (Vs. Flamme Rouge),” a board game review for Heat: Pedal to the Metal from Real Jon on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Real Jon on YouTube:
This is probably one of the most overrated board games to date, goodness. Almost no substance in it at all. Game plays itself and anything you do gets over-corrected by the game. It feels like how a kids game would play. This is like an adult candy land if you will. Really baffles me why this game would make into people's top 10 lists this year. The only list I would put this game to is a top 5 worst popular games, if I ever make those lists one day.

About Heat: Pedal to the Metal, from BoardGameGeek:
Based on simple and intuitive hand management, Heat: Pedal to the Metal puts players in the driver's seat of intense car races, jockeying for position to cross the finish line first, while managing their car's speed if they don't want to overheat. Selecting the right upgrades for their car will help them hug the curves and keep their engine cool enough to maintain top speeds. Ultimately, their driving skills will be the key to victory!
Drivers can compete in a single race or use the "Championship System" to play a whole season in one game night, customizing their car before each race to claim the top spot of the podium. They have to be careful as the weather, road conditions, and events will change every race to spice up their championship. Players can also enjoy a solo mode with the Legends Module or add automated drivers as additional opponents in multiplayer games.
