Race Track

There’s a new Race at the track, The Fast Times Race  and it work pretty much the same as last weeks only you need different drivers and a bit more Gas. Basically to start a race tap on the Start Grid in the event area and you will see the Race Screen, now you’ll see you can choose between last week’s Qualifying Race and this week’s Fast Times Race.

You will then see above who can compete in Races. But again before you can Race you’ll need to start collecting Gas Cans, here’s a reminder of how you can get them.

 Gas Can (Common) –  Get from Gas Pump, Premium Gas Pump (Always)

Once you have Gas Cans, you’ll need 4 for each Race, you can choose which characters to send on your Race team. You need at least 1 from Pete Racer, Ricky Bobby, Pit Crew Chris and Cal Naughton Jr. But be aware sending more than one will increase your odds of successful drops. Once you’ve selected your Racers just hit Let’s Go, and the Race will run like a task for 3 hours.

I’m going be honest the UI for racing is poor and doesn’t make clear what you can win, but I’ve simplified it below.

Cost to Race: 4 Gas Cans
Characters you can send Racing: Pete Racer, Ricky Bobby, Pit Crew Chris or Cal Naughton Jr
How many Characters do I send: 1 is enough but 2 is better and 3 is even better. The combination you send increases the chance of Clamade Sponsorship’s & Racing Tyres dropping.
Race Time: 3 hours

At the end of the 3 hour race you’ll see your rewards and these will be from the following.

Win Race
5 Prize Money & 3 Clamade Sponsorship & 3 Racing Tyres

Lose Race
5 Prize Money

Once you have a Road Spike you will find Drag Racers driving on your sidewalks. Simply tap one of them to bring up the targeting screen. Then move the Road Spike until the green target circle is on a Drag Racer, you’ll know it’s in target as it will turn purple, then simply hit the check mark to clear the Drag Racer..
