How to drive

On a phone, turn it sideways. Steer with your left thumb, hold GAS to accelerate and release to coast. Slide across to BRAKE or N₂O. Holding the brake overrides the accelerator.

Menu pauses solo races. Online races keep running while menus are open. Leaving gives up your place. If your connection drops, keep driving and you rejoin the same race where you are.

Racing well

Brake before tight corners, ease into the turn, then accelerate as you straighten. Big steering at high speed makes the tyres slide; if they squeal, ease off. Draft behind a rival to gain speed.

For a perfect start, press GAS just before the lights go out, or tap N₂O when using auto-accelerate.

YOU TRAIL and YOU LEAD show the gap to the cars ahead and behind; a full lap reads 1 LAP. Edge arrows show cars alongside and turn gold when they’re close.

Push-to-pass

Within about a second of the car ahead on a straight, PASS lights up on the speedometer and your car gets a little extra top speed to complete the pass. It works automatically for every driver, AI included.

Car health, N₂O & pit stops

Damage lowers speed and grip. Light rubbing is fine; the driver who shoves or rear-ends another car takes the penalty. At 0% a three-second tow takes you to the pits for six seconds of repairs, and progress on the current lap is lost. Hardcore makes a wreck end your race.

N₂O opens 5 seconds after the start and works while accelerating on the road. The bottle lasts about 16 seconds and refills only in the pits. It cuts out at 85% heat: release to cool. Pressing again while hot risks engine damage, and a blown engine needs a tow.

Tap PIT or press E to arm pit service, and tap again to cancel. You enter at the next pit entry on the start straight; four seconds of service restores car, engine and N₂O. Release GAS or tap BRAKE, then accelerate and steer left to rejoin. Crossing the finish line ends your race, and online races close 30 seconds after the first finisher.

Modes

All six cars perform the same. Play online fills an open grid and finds new opponents after each race. Private rooms race friends by invite. Single player races AI or runs Time trial.

Time trial: set your fastest lap over three laps, chasing a ghost of your best. A green split means you’re ahead.

Knockout: the last-place driver is out every 30 seconds until one remains, with no lap limit. The countdown turns red when you’re in danger. Private rooms can use Knockout too.
