When completing a race players are rewarded depending on their final position, or the position that their team achieved, and are rewarded with XP, in game currency, Alchemy cards and a variety of other items.

CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION

There are a variety of different characters that players can choose from, each of which are fully customisable and come with their own unique stats that will change how that character plays including such things as their maximum speed, acceleration, power and control.
