In the game, players can choose to play alone or with other cars. Cars have a certain amount of health and fuel, which decreases whenever the player crashes into a wall, into another car or drives off the road. The player can go to a pit-stop to regenerate the health and fuel, however, doing this takes away race time. Winning the Grand Prix rewards players with coins, which can be used to unlock hidden cars.
