Launch on the green, shift on the beat, and build a garage of ever-faster cars.

Pull up to the starting line in a little hatchback and race the car in the next lane. Leave on the green, shift when the needle hits the sweet spot, light your nitro at the right moment and cross the line first. Win purses, climb a ladder of 48 rivals in eight places with a boss at the top of each, then spend your winnings on eight cars with six upgrades each and pro parts after that. Each place runs its own class of car, so every car's upgrades count. Earn bronze to platinum medals for fast times, take on the Pro Circuit (the same eight places with tougher rivals and bigger purses), collect paints and decals, and race a new daily challenge that is the same for everyone.

How to play

1. Watch the lights. Three ambers count down, then green. Tap GO, or press Space or Up, the moment it turns green. Leave early and it is a red light.
2. Shift when the needle is in the green zone of the tach: tap SHIFT (the same big button) or press Space. The gold middle gives a bonus kick. Too early or too late costs time, and hitting the redline cuts the engine. The zone lasts about the same time in every gear, so every shift counts.
3. Light your nitro once a race with NITRO, or N or Shift. It works best after your first shift, once the tires have grip.
4. Win purses to buy upgrades and new cars, earn bronze to platinum medals for fast times, and beat each tier's boss to climb the ladder. Each tier races its own car or an older one. Max out a car to open its Pro Circuit round. A new daily race arrives every day.

Every way to play is equal here: touch, mouse and keyboard all move at the same top speed, so scores are fair whichever device you use.

Tips

• Watch the green light, not the ambers. Leave before it and it is a red light.
• Shift when the needle reaches the green zone. The gold middle gives a bonus kick, and a better gearbox widens the zone.
• Save your nitro for after the first shift, when the tires have grip. Lit at the line it is wasted. Each tier races its own car or an older one, so keep upgrading the older cars for medals.
• The garage shows how many seconds each upgrade saves, so check before you buy. Tires matter more once you add power.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. It's free to play in your browser, with no download and no sign-up. The cash you win is for the garage, and coins you earn can never be bought.

How do I shift gears?

Tap the big SHIFT button (the one you launch with), or press Space or Up, when the needle is in the green zone of the tach. The gold middle is a perfect shift.

What is the daily race?

A new race every day, the same for everyone: the same loaner car, rival and lights. Win it for cash, and beat the target time for a bonus.

Can I play on a phone or tablet?

Yes. It's built for touch first, with two big thumb buttons, and it plays the same with a keyboard or a mouse.

Will I run out of things to do?

Not soon. There are 48 rivals in eight tiers, then 48 tougher ones on the Pro Circuit, eight cars with six upgrades each and pro parts after that, four medals in every race, a daily race, and paints and decals to earn. A platinum medal on the Pro Circuit takes a full set of pro parts and a flawless run.
