Race Types
Classic
Classic races are the simplest type of race. There will be multiple opponents. You have to cross the finish line before them to win the race. No extra rules in these races.
Versus
In the versus race, you will race against only one race and that’s your rival. Finish the cross cross to win the race. It’s pretty much similar to classic races except the difference in the number of opponents.
Elimination
An elimination race has 8 racers including you. After a certain amount of time, a countdown of 30 seconds starts. When the time’s out, the racer at the last position will be eliminated from the race and a new countdown will be started right after the elimination. This process repeats until only one racer is left in the race and he will be the winner.
Knockdown
In knockdown races, you will compete against only one racer. There will be multiple cars with a red indicator on them. You have to knock them down. This race has a time-limit. The racer with the most knockdowns when time runs out will win the race. Also there is a maximum knockdown limit. If any racer reaches that limit before the time-limit, he will be the winner.
Infected
In the infected races, there are 8 racers including you. The racer at the last position will get a timer of 7 seconds. If he remains at the last position, he will be infected. While infected, he will get infinite nitro. Also a countdown of 30 seconds starts. You can touch the other racers to infect them and gain extra time. When this countdown ends, that racer explodes. After the explosion, his car will be cured and return to normal. Cross the finish line before others to win the race.
Gate Drift
In Gate drift races, there are no opponents. It only has a time-limit and multiple gates on the racing track. When you cross these gates while drifting, you will get points. You have to earn a certain amount of drifting points before the time runs out to win the race.
