Drag Races

 

Drag events are all about pure speed and precision. Like grip races, the goal is to reach the finish line first — but in drag, it’s not about perfect cornering. It’s about perfect timing. Shifting gears at just the right moment and launching off the line with razor-sharp reaction is everything.

 

 

There’s no automatic gearbox here. You’re in full control, and if you shift too early or too late, you’ll lose precious time. Quick reflexes, gear mastery, and smooth driving — especially with traffic in the mix — are the keys to winning.

Tire Warm-Up Phase

Before the race, you’ll have a limited amount of time to warm up your tires for better grip. This is done just before the start line and directly affects your car’s traction and launch.

 

• – A temperature bar appears, divided into 5 zones:
  • • Red: Underheated or Overheated → Weak Burnout
  • • Orange: Slightly off → Good Burnout
  • • Green: Just right → Perfect Burnout
• – Tire heat increases based on engine revs and decreases naturally over time.
• – Your bonus grip depends on the bar’s level when the timer hits zero.

At the end of this phase, you’ll get a quick result notification: Weak Burnout, Good Burnout, or Perfect Burnout

 

The Race Itself

 

Once you launch, it’s time to shift fast and clean.

• – You drive manually, even if you usually use an automatic.
• – The tachometer is divided into zones for shifting:
  • • Perfect Shift (Green)
  • • Good Shift (Yellow)
  • • Bad Shift (Red – either too early or too late)
• – After each gear change, you get on-screen feedback: Bad Shift, Good Shift, or Perfect Shift

Penalties

You can also get kicked from the race if you:

• – Leave the race route
• – Drive the wrong way
• – Hit an opponent with too much force
