All Map Styles

Tech

200–400 km/h

Technical precision tracks with tight corners, speed cuts, and sharp transitions. Mastery comes from learning exact lines and braking points.

Best for: Competitive players, ranking grind | Difficulty: High

Fullspeed

400–600+ km/h

High-speed tracks with long straights and flowing turns. Less about precision, more about momentum and air control.

Best for: New players, casual fun | Difficulty: Medium

Dirt

150–350 km/h

Off-road tracks on dirt surfaces with completely different physics. Drifting is rewarded over grip-driving.

Best for: Players who want variety | Difficulty: Medium

Ice

200–400 km/h

Ice surface physics with very low grip. Requires unlearning normal driving — small corrections become huge slides.

Best for: Advanced / novelty seekers | Difficulty: Very High

RPG

Varies

Creative/trick maps with non-standard obstacles, puzzles, or story elements. Often linear 'adventure' style experiences.

Best for: Casual, creative, and streaming | Difficulty: Varies

Mixed

Varies

Combines multiple surface types (road, dirt, ice, plastic) in one track. Tests adaptability across all physics types.

Best for: Experienced players | Difficulty: High
