Racing

Grand Prix and Arcade

In-game screenshot

Twelve drivers, twelve RC cars and 25 tracks built from real Connecticut places, rebuilt at 1/18 scale. Drift to fill your boost, jump and flip, ride the walls, grind the rails, and throw toy weapons at the pack.

Two ways to race

Grand Prix

Five cups of five tracks: the Initiate, Aspirant, Contender, Champion and Elite Cups, each harder than the last. Six cars on the grid, points after every race, and trophies for the top three.

One rival is your nemesis: they stay close and race you hardest, all cup long.

Arcade

Pick any of the 25 tracks for a quick race, or a time trial against your own ghost.

Up to four players can race in split screen on one PC.

LAN racing: or race on separate PCs over your home network. Up to four players, with AI racers filling the grid up to six cars. One player hosts, everyone else joins.

How it drives

  • Drift to boostDrifting fills your boost. Hold it longer for a bigger drift kick.
  • Grind railsJump onto a rail and steer to keep your balance. Fall off and you lose the line.
  • Jump, hover, flipJump, then hold to hover on boost. Land a flip and you get boost back.
  • Wall rideSlam toward a wall in mid-air and drive along it.
  • DraftTuck in behind another car for more speed, then pull out and slingshot past.
  • Toy weaponsFoam darts, water balloons, gum drops, a shield, a drone attack and more. Cars get wrecked, nobody gets hurt.

The story

Anthony and Vincenzo Viento welcoming you to the race track.
Your hosts: Anthony and Vincenzo Viento. Character art.

Win all five cups, take home a $500,000 bonus.

Anthony and Vincenzo Viento dreamed up a giant cross-country race. First, they have to prove the idea to their father, who runs El Viento Heavy Industries. So they’re starting small: RC cars, racing on tracks all over Connecticut, streamed live on VIM, Viento Influencer Media.

Five cups, and each one ends with a boss race. Beat a boss and they join your roster. Story Mode is being built now, for Early Access.

Why they race

  • Amelia WintersShe streams on VIM as ABeeWin, and has to race in her bee costume. She wants the bonus to help Summers Brew, where her best friend Tabitha works.
  • Chase WrightHe streams on VIM as SilverTongue. A $500,000 bonus got his attention, and he told his old friend Vincenzo to bring his A-game.
  • Tabitha SummersShe works at Summers Brew and doesn’t trust the Vientos. Mostly she’s racing to keep an eye on Amelia and Chase.
  • Noah WintersAmelia’s big brother. He wants to win and give half to her, to make up for the years he wasn’t there.
  • Tyrone BarrensAlready a millionaire. He came to see his college friends, and he’ll give any winnings to a charity named after their old friend Wilson.
  • Anthony VientoThe host. He built every track, and his garage is full of RC cars.
  • Vincenzo VientoAnthony’s brother, who runs VIM. He’s streaming the whole race, and he expects to be in front.

The bosses

  • Samantha SpringerInitiate Cup, at The Merry Den Mall. She beat Chase and Vincenzo back in high school, and she wants to prove she still can.
  • Olivia S.Aspirant Cup, at Flurry Ridge. The race splashed snow on her vacation, so she’s back with a Cresponium-powered truck.
  • Casandra EstlewoodContender Cup, at Wolf Forest Casino. An RC car hurt her friend Jeff, and nobody does that to her friends.
  • Wilson F.Champion Cup, at Gillette Castle. He has a secret for his old college friends, and an RC car that runs on D-cell batteries.
  • SnakesElite Cup, at the GumsWorth Museum of Art. The race wrecked his freshly cleaned floors, and he wants revenge.
