Event Types

Single Player

Players are given a reward at the end of each event with a pack of four cards of which only one card can be selected, while another card (Blue) is always given.

World Race - The player races against A.I. opponents with additional objectives offer bonus rewards.
Free Drive - The player can practice their skills in a small open world area based on Redview County.

Multiplayer

It features various multiplayer only routes that players compete against each other along to reach the finish line first. Players can also grab power-ups along the route to use against other players or improve their current car similar to Pursuit Tech featured in Need for Speed: Rivals and power-ups featured in Need for Speed: World.

Multiplayer events are initiated through a lobby system that allows players to see the current race route, the driver level of other players, and a list of cars they can select for the event.

Speed - Players compete against each other in races and team races.
Item - Players compete against each other in a race using power-ups.
Drift - Players compete against each other to set the highest total drift score along a set route.
Catch the Tail - Two players compete to pass the other in a set amount of laps
Ranked Speed - Players compete against each other in races to earn a higher rank for a given season.
Challenge Mode - Players compete in multiplayer races to earn points. Earning certain amounts of points gives prizes such as car boxes, part upgrade materials, and SP.
Pursuit - 4 players try to reach a finish line without being busted by the police. Players can use Pursuit Tech to help with their escape.
Time Trial - Players complete the tracks to obtain prizes (card packs, visual parts, or according to the season), and will earn a classification according to the time they set in the race.

Gameplay

Nitrous

Players can earn nitrous through performing driving maneuvers such as drifting, driving in the oncoming lane, and drafting opponents. Nitrous can be used periodically to give a boost to a vehicle's acceleration and top speed.

Drift Boost

Whilst drifting, players can perform a drift boost that will give their vehicle a Short Turbo Boost when exiting a corner. It requires the player to perfectly time a prompt whilst drifting to earn a short drift boost.

Turbo Boost

Turbo Boost is a power-up that increases the acceleration of a vehicle, but once activated it can not be deactivated until it runs out. A turbo boost can be earned by performing driving maneuvers such as drifting,drafting opponents, earning air time, and jump distance.

Power-ups

In Item-Mode events, players can acquire power-ups while racing along their event route. A wide variety of power-ups can be collected; spike strips, shields, turbo. A player can only have two items at the same time.

Customisation

Parts

Players can upgrade their the performance rating of their cars by by installing parts. There are five types of parts; engine, transmission, nitrous, strength, and durability. Using parts upgrade materials, parts which are already installed to the car can be upgraded. Removing parts from the car requires a parts dismount card.

Wraps

Players can visit a wrap shop to customise the appearance of their cars. They can change the body paint and rim colours, or apply a wrap to a car. There are two kinds of wraps; common wraps and exclusive wraps.

Licence Plates

Licence plate are made up of two sets of numbers: individual numbers and distinct numbers. Individual numbers can be changed by using an individual number modifier, but Distinct numbers, however, cannot be changed freely and are randomly given numbers.

There are two types of licence plates;

Normal - A blue coloured licence plate.
Premium - An non-blue coloured licence plate.

Upgrade

If a player owns two or more of the same car, they can combine both to improve ta single car's strength rating, but this also requires spending currency and may fail, resulting in losing one of the two cars. The minimum is +1 and maximum level is +10.

Production

Blueprints can be gathered up to a certain target to produce a car.

Cars
