A go-kart circuit next to the casino. Drive it for free, drift for the board, line up a Quick Race with friends, or put up a buy-in and race a tournament for the pot.

  • Free to drive
  • Phones too
  • Up to 16 on a track

The circuit

Karts, drifts and boost pads

Walk in through the Speedway's gate in the city, or open the Speedway from the top bar. It plays on a phone too, with touch controls.

A Quick Race on its final lap: the order on the right, your place under the dash.

Three ways to drive

Free drive, Quick Races, tournaments

  • Free drive

    Spawn on the open track with up to 16 karts and just drive. Every lap and drift combo you set goes to the boards. Press G for ghost mode.

  • Quick Races

    Free races of 1 to 10 laps, up to 16 racers. Join the next public one, or make a private one and share its code. First home wins.

  • Tournaments

    Put up a buy-in from $0.10 to $10, race for the pot, top three paid.

Quick Races

Race your friends, free

  1. 01Press Race

    Pick Quick race for the next public lobby, Private race for your own, or type a friend's code. Stopping by the pits asks too.
  2. 02Line up

    With two or more in, a countdown runs; the host picks the laps and can start at once. Alone, practise against the clock.
  3. 03Lights out

    Your place, the gap ahead and your lap times on the dash. Once the leader is home the rest have 30 seconds. Then Race again.

Tournaments

Lap tournaments for a pot

Public, or private by a code. Up to 16 drivers; the laps are timed by the server, never your screen.

Shares of the pot after the 10% tournament fee. Two drivers with a lap split it 62.5 / 37.5; one takes it all; nobody, and every buy-in goes back.

Fair laps

Laps the server can vouch for

  • The server follows every kart through the timing gates: a lap counts only if you passed every gate in order.
  • It knows how fast a real kart can go. A lap quicker than that costs the difference as a penalty, and one far too quick is thrown out. Nothing under 18 seconds ever counts.
  • Ghost mode changes nobody's speed: it only takes the traffic away.
