Mechanics

By winning the players gain money that can be spent on special capsules. Inside them, there are powerful new cars or more than seven hundred parts to the cars the player already has. Among the parts, there are tires, brakes and engine parts. They can affect handling, acceleration or maximum speed of vehicles. It is possible to combine various parts in order to strengthen their effects.
