Players drive around the game map collecting car upgrades as the round goes on. They can challenge others to head-to-head races to eliminate rivals. The player is disqualified if they either leave the safe zone after a given time limit, or lose a head-to-head race. After 10 players remain, head-to-heads will disable (any in course will be aborted) and a final sprint race will dictate the winners of the game mode.
