Events in Need for Speed: Carbon can be found across Palmont City, the surrounding canyons, and San Juan. New events unlock as the player wins available events and takes control of additional territory across the city.

Unlocked events appear on the player's mini-map and menu map as stars, with start locations made up of glowing stars with the event type logo pulsating in its centre.

Events that the player controls appear as yellow ticks on their menu map, and as yellow stars on their mini-map. A coloured star, that isn't yellow, is an event that is currently controlled by a rival crew.

Winning an event in the career mode will unlock that event for play in Quick Race mode, reward the player with an amount of cash depending on their current career progression, and a reward based on their career vehicle class.
