Drift around corners, hit turbo pads and take shortcuts to zoom faster around the track and leave your competition in the dust.
At any time charge up a boost and use it to kick your vehicle into overdrive. Charge boosting is risky though because you lose health for every boost you do.
Ram other racers to lower their health. If you reduce their health to zero you will briefly knock them out of the race.
Collisions with the opponents or the environment can reduce your health too. Hit the repair button to recharge your health bar. Timing is key because repairing your vehicle reduces your acceleration by quite a bit.
Perform exciting actions to fill up your fire meter. When filled your vehicle will become on fire and have increased acceleration and top speed. It's just the X-Factor you need to make that final push to catch the leader!
Race - Arcade style racing just like it was in the 90's but improved!
Tour - A deep and full fledged single player campaign with Over 99 missions to complete! Can you unlock all the vehicles and find all the secrets?
Chase - Keep your eyes open because the Cops use all tactics at their disposal to slow you down as players race to the finish!
Collect - Valuable items are scattered around the track as players race to collect them. The person whos collection has the highest total value wins!
Stunt - Perform crazy stunts to see who can get the highest score! Vehicles can rotate in the air, grind on the sides and drift around to continue combos and increase score.
The Gauntlet - Can you survive till the end in this challenging Roguelike mode? YOUR MISSION: Win a race on every single track in a row. After each race you gain a new random perk or bonus to help improve your chances of survival!
Enhance your vehicles with upgraded parts to improve your stats. Or change your rims, spoilers, paint and more to show off what you’ve unlocked!
Up to 4 players can hop on the couch and race for bragging rights across all tracks and game modes!
Beginners can switch on Dad mode for a fun casual experience where catching up is easier even after making making mistakes.
More experienced players can use advanced techniques such as boost cancels, flawless boosts and more. These techniques along with the general gameplay allow for more skill expression then any racing game that has come before.
