Straight from the game

Real races recorded inside the game, with its own dashboard and interface (shown in Portuguese). Development footage.

Night race on neighbourhood streets: launch from neutral, a crowd at the start line and headlights down the strip.
Daytime practice at the raceway: hold the revs, launch on green and land a perfect shift.

Win in the garage, finish it on the strip

Build it your way

Engine, gearbox, turbo, nitro, tyres and weight. Every change shows on the dyno and in your time, so you know what a part really does before the light turns green.

Nail every shift

Start in neutral, hold the revs and launch on green. Jump too early and you red-light; shift late and the rival pulls away. Timing is half the win.

Take on your rivals

Line up 1-on-1 online, challenge friends and race opponents matched by car potential. Your progress, credits and cars live safely on your account.

Make it yours

Paint, finishes, decals, neon, wheels and calipers. Looks never change performance: the fastest car is the best-prepared one, not the one that paid more.

Six places to line up

Quiet residential streets, downtown avenues, the industrial district, the harbour, the waterfront and a proper raceway. Race short sprints of 201 m, 402 m, 804 m, by day or under the street lights, with a crowd waiting at the start.
