Race Ace

How to play

Just steer

Your ship accelerates for you. Slide the wheel, or tap and hold the arrows. Small moves make gentle turns. On desktop, use ← →, A/D, or a sideways two-finger scroll.

Keep it in one piece

Watch heat, hull and fuel. Too hot, too battered or an empty tank means race over. Steer into the yellow pit lane before trouble hits; your crew takes over, cools, repairs and refuels you.

Grab the good stuff

Green chevrons launch you forward. Ice removes 5% heat, shields restore 5% hull, and gold coins earn credits. Pickups keep appearing—and rivals can grab them too. Boosts burn extra fuel and give half their usual kick when overheated.

Build your team

Buy a ship and hire a pilot. Spend your winnings in the Shop: more speed, a bigger tank, stronger hull or better cooling. Train your crew for more reliable stops. Each Autopit charge takes you into the pits when you need help, then gets used up.

Chase promotion

Finish in the top two over the season to earn promotion. Each career race is one shot; a DNF means no race points or prize, but you carry on to the next round. Keep your team and upgrades between seasons.

Series 1 is free. At promotion, unlock Series 2 + 3 or keep racing Series 1. Your team stays yours either way.

Fancy a practice lap?

Quick Race lets you practise your available tracks without changing your career. No stakes—just racing.
