02 // STEPS
Step by step
- 01
Pick a circuit
Classic Turbo Duel is Neon Loop. Use the variant picker for Desert Sprint or City Circuit.
- 02
Choose a mode
Online with a room code, Local vs on one device, or vs Computer (Easy / Normal / Hard).
- 03
Wait for the lights
A 3-2-1-GO countdown freezes the grid. Hold throttle so you launch on GO.
- 04
Stay on the racing line
Asphalt grips; grass slows you. Walls bounce. Nudge rivals but don’t spin out.
- 05
Honor checkpoints
Each sector gate must be crossed on-track. Shortcuts across the infield do not count.
- 06
Race to three laps
HUD shows lap, last/best times, 1st/2nd, and speed. First to 3 laps wins — Rematch from the finish overlay.

Pro tips
- Steer less at high speed — tap the wheel, don’t hold full lock.
- Brake before hairpins, then gas on the exit for a cleaner lap.
- On mobile, landscape gives a wider camera and easier GAS/BRK reach.
