Sprint is a player versus player game mode along an enclosed course with a set start and finish point. Sprint courses are either Class restricted or Open.
Players are capable of entering a Sprint event in either a Singleplayer or Multiplayer circumstance. Players are also capable of creating Private Matches that allow them to invite other players on their friends list or from the freeroam environment.
- Singleplayer
The player is placed against seven other rival drivers that are AI controlled. They will only drive basic vehicles from a Class that is competitive with the player's vehicle.
- Multiplayer
The player is pitted against other players of similar Driver Levels. Rival players are determined using a Matchmaking system.
- Private Match
The player can invite other players to an event of their choosing. Only invited players can join a Private Match.
Gameplay[]
All players are put into a pre-game lobby that allows them to view the performance statistics of each and every other players' vehicle. The lobby has a 1 minute and 15 second delay timer before starting the race event.
Starting Grid[]
The start of the event has all players placed into a starting grid at the start line of the Sprint course. At this point players can attempt to perform a "Perfect Start" by hitting the optimal rev range of their vehicle's engine at soon as the countdown timer finishes. The optimal rev range can be expanded by equipping a "Redline" Skill Mod to a vehicle.
Players that hit this rev range at the right time will receive a limited duration nitrous boost. The duration as well as the force of this boost is determined by the "Headstart" and "Super Shot" Skill Mods.
Course[]
The course that each Sprint event follows is marked out on the player's minimap as a bright blue highlight of a road. The route is also marked out with blue walls with moving arrows that point the direction in which the course is heading.
The distance a player has travelled along the course for an event is shown in the top right of the player's HUD as a percentage amount.
Players can utilise the abilities of several power-ups during the duration the Sprint event. Each power-up has a special attribute that can help aid a player pursue victory and repel the advances of other players.
Rewards[]
Players are awarded Cash and Rep at the end of the event. The amount of each won by the player depends on their performance in the race, finishing position, power-up usage and racing style.
Players will win significantly less Cash and Rep in Singleplayer events then they would in a multiplayer event. Singleplayer events also restrict the player to only receiving basic Lucky Draw cards upon completion instead of any Gold, Silver or Bronze Lucky Draw cards.
