Winning races on the street
TipsThe courses feature sharp turns and narrow roads. Learning each course through repetition gives you a real edge over players who are reacting to the track for the first time.
- Hit full acceleration on straights.
- Ease your inputs through sharp corners.
- Time your turbo — using it at the wrong moment can send you wide on a turn.
- Read what rivals are doing ahead of you and anticipate their lines.
- Run the same course multiple times until the layout feels automatic.
Drifting and slipstream
SummaryTwo advanced techniques — drifting and slipstreaming — let skilled drivers carry speed through corners and straights that would otherwise slow them down.
- Drift sliding the rear through a corner so you hold speed instead of braking hard.
- Slipstream sitting directly behind a rival to cut air resistance and slingshot past them on the next straight.
- Turbo a device that delivers a sharp burst of acceleration, recognizable by its distinctive sound.
The ranking system
CheckRace results feed directly into the street leaderboard. The more wins you stack, the higher your standing — but higher ranks mean you are matched against stronger players. The leaderboard also resets on a seasonal cycle.
- Win consistently each victory raises your position on the street rankings.
- Expect tougher opponents as your rank climbs.
- Prepare for a leaderboard reset when a new season begins.
Racing in a 50-player field
TipsWith up to 50 players on the same course at once, races play out very differently from a one-on-one contest.
- Pick your position early — where you sit in the pack affects every move you can make.
- Use slipstream off the car in front to gain free speed on straights.
