New Track: Sector 71-2

Enter the classified course
A top-secret launch base packed with tight turns and incoming rockets.

Time Trials

Race against the clock
Race solo, perfect your route, and compete for the fastest time.

Time Trials puts the focus entirely on speed. Set your best time, compare it with the Weekly and All-Time leaderboards and study the current leader’s ghost replay to find opportunities to improve.

When you’re ready to challenge the fastest racer, select “Beat” and take another run at the top time.
