Speedtrap is a player versus player game mode along an enclosed course featured in Need for Speed: Carbon.
Participants pass through a series of checkpoints along a course that record their speed at that point. The racer with the highest total speed recorded combined across all points by the end of the event is the winner. Once the first racer crosses the finish line, the score of the other participants will be slowly reduced as penalty until they cross the finish line.
The starting grid of all speedtrap races consists of seven rival racers (or three rival racers in the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and Wii releases) and the player. All participants have a chance to earn a 'Perfect Start' during the race countdown by hitting the optimal rev range before the countdown is completed.
There are 10 Speedtrap events in Need for Speed: Carbon that take place across various locations within the boroughs of Palmont City.
