Car Wars is a vehicle combat simulation game developed by Steve Jackson Games and first published in 1980. Players control armed vehicles in a post-apocalyptic future, so its subject is combat between armed vehicles rather than any real road sport. The English Wikipedia lead supports only this much about the game, so this entry records its publisher, its first publication date, its setting and its vehicle combat subject, and leaves editions, rules and reception to later research.
