Race is an event type in Need for Speed: Heat, made up of either multiple lap circuits or single point-to-point sprints, and take place on roads. The first racer to cross the finish line after completing all laps or reaching the end point of a sprint first is the winner.
Every route has multiple checkpoints that racers must pass through in order and they all have a recommended road-grip handling profile.
An event can take place during the day or at night:
- Day - Players earn bank (
) from participating in events hosted by the Speedhunters Showdown and police will not get involved.
- Night - Players earn rep (
) from participating in illicit street racing events and engaging with the PCPD.
