Zeroyon drag strip
The local 400 m strip, where the locals run on Friday nights. It is the starter race and the finale of Chapter 0.
The start: pre-stage, stage, three ambers, then green. Launch on green with Space or left mouse.
Who wins: the lowest reaction time + ET wins. Leaving before green is a red light and an automatic loss. Ties go to you.
Rewards:
| Result | Pay |
|---|---|
| Quick match win | 150 coins, 20 XP |
| Loss | 25% of the win pay |
| First time beating a ladder rival | One-time bonus, about 5× a normal win |
A run costs 10 fuel. Your reaction is measured on your machine. Quick match pairs you with a car within ±0.4 s of yours.
Rivals: Jun “Jumpstart” Park is rival 1. Others on the ladder are Sora Hasegawa, Ren Aoyama, Goro Kobayashi and Kaito Shimada. Each rival has a driving style; Jun jumps the start about one run in five.
Chibi GP
An idle ladder you run from the phone.
- It ticks about every 10 seconds, costs no fuel and pays nothing per tick. Ticks move you up the ladder and can earn Podium Points when you reach a new ceiling.
- Every 5 minutes it pays coins and XP, scaled by your level. Climbing pays 100%, repeating a level pays 10% and being offline pays 5% (up to 8 hours).
- Every 10th level is a boss. Losing to a boss sends you back to the start of that bracket; you can challenge the boss again directly.
- Opponents scale with ladder level, not with your car’s power.
- Idle races don’t count toward “first race” or daily race challenges, except climbing five new levels.
Ranked
Instant server-resolved duels against players in your class. Uses a duel rating. Unlocks at level 5.
Street
AI opponents scaled into your class, and a police chase minigame (the same one the crime jobs use). Unlocks at level 10. See Crime and heat.
