Summary

The game is provided with peculiar car physics, which can be experienced through various game modes, tracks and vehicles. In the main game mode, Tournament, there is a bronze (2 tracks / 2 laps), silver (3 tracks / 2 laps) and gold (3 tracks / 3 laps) championship for each main vehicle. In each race of a championship, there is a time to beat and the other vehicles in the track are just traffic to avoid. Winning championships unlocks not only the next ones (bronze unlocks silver and silver unlocks gold) but also game features, such as cars, game modes and racing options. Starting with 2 cars, the player will then conquer almost all the game content through these championships. In another game mode, Single Race, the player can unlock the 8 main tracks, in their 4 different versions (Forward, Reverse, Mirrored FWD and Mirrored REV), by simply winning a race with a random car.
