A Checkpoint Race in Need for Speed: Carbon is a single-player game mode along an enclosed course.

The player has to reach the final checkpoint before running out of time. Additional time is awarded as the player passes checkpoints along the course between the start and finish location.

The starting grid of all checkpoint races consists of the player preparing to set off from the first checkpoint of an event. The player has a chance to earn a 'Perfect Start' during the race countdown by hitting the optimal rev range before the countdown is completed.

There are 13 Checkpoint Race events that take place across various locations within the boroughs of Palmont City, and an additional 3 taking place in the canyons.
