Gameplay
The game begins with the player racing in the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 on the way to the festival.

After arriving at the festival, players create their custom character and can choose one of three cars to start with. A 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, 1992 Nissan Silvia Club K's, or 2008 Alfa Romeo MiTo. After that, players are free to explore the world at their own leisure.

Players can enter various races ranging from circuit races, to sprint, scramble, and cross country races with different race types in them. Even street races.

Race Types
Players will see other characters driving on the roads, and when come across one, they can challenge them to a makeshift race by racing up behind them. Players will also take call from them which has players accepting races or doing tasks for them.
 * Race - players race a in a full grid to finish first
 * Elimination - a clock counts down and if the timer reaches zero, the driver in last place is instantly eliminated. This continues until one driver remains
 * Knockout - players race in a circuit, and the driver in last place is instantly eliminated. This continues until one driver remains
 * Drag - players race one-on-one on a straight road. However players have to shift through gears manually and time them perfectly in order to win
 * Drift - players have to execute a series of drifts in order to score point. The bigger the drift, the more points earned. The driver with the most points win
 * Touge - a point-to-point race in which two drivers race to reach the finish line first or win by gaining a five-second lead
