A straight-to-the-point beginner’s guide to help you understand this game






- Use driving assists at first (auto shifting, braking assist).



- Turn them off as you improve — less assists = more credits.



- Rewind ON — it’s a feature, not cheating.






- Don’t just grab the fastest thing.



- Best early game cars:

• Subaru WRX

• Audi Quattro

• Lancer Evolution



- Match car to race type:

• Off-road = AWD

• Street = good grip

• Cross country = soft suspension, stable






- Road Racing: Clean handling, grippy tires.



- Dirt Racing: Rally builds shine. Use off-road tires.



- Cross Country: High jumps, uneven terrain — use trucks/SUVs.



- Street Scene: Traffic, tight corners — go for agile cars.






- Wheelspins: Earn from leveling up & car mastery.



- Skill chains: Drift, jump, crash = points = perks.



- Auction House: Snipe cheap rare cars, flip them for credits.






- Unlock more festival sites to access more events.



- Do seasonal events weekly — free rare cars.

Don’t overthink it — just drive and enjoy.
