[edit] Features
[edit] Combat Weapons
The player is able to mount weapons onto his or her car to be able to attack opponents. There are three different types of weapons: Mines, Ranged (missiles) or guns. The car may only have one of each weapon type at a time. In time attack or racing mode however, players are not permitted to use weapons.[2]
[edit] Game modes
[edit] Strikeracing
In Strikeracing, players race against each other to be first and may use weapons as a deterrent for their opponents. This is one of the most commonly played modes.
[edit] Racing
This mode is similar to Strikeracing, but weapons are not allowed.[6] This lets the players concentrate more on actual racing than trying to evade the opponents' weapons.
[edit] Time attack
This game mode consists of the player racing without other opponents and without weapons to try the best time he can get. gPotato introduced a contest; any driver who wishes to participate donates 50 RP (In-game currency) to upload his time to the high score table. At the end of each contest, the player that has the best time gets all the RP each player paid.
