Slipping, Blasting and Booming

Hey all! Sparks here!

If you tried out our Test Track, you experienced "single-player" racing. That means your opponents were robo-cars, and you were the only real person racing.

And that's cool. I like it because I seem to be able to do pretty well racing against the computer.

But of course we're also going to take it to the next level: multi-player racing. You'll be able to race against your friends for 1st Place and the sweet spots on the Leader Boards.

This I don't like so much because every time I race against a real live person from the Pit Crew, I seem to come in 2nd. What is up with that?

But maybe I've got a chance. Turns out that if we visit Sarge before a race, we'll be able to get Hazards. We'll be able to use Hazards in a race to cause mayhem and confusion.

Sarge's Hazards allow us to cause other players to slip on oil slicks, to blast racers with smoke screens, and make them run into hay bales that go BOOM!

Here's an oil slick Hazard in action:

I'm going to stock up on Hazards. Maybe then I'll be able to leave the Pit Crew in the dust!

Any ideas for more Hazards? Let me know. Just don't use them on me!

Keep Coolant!
