How a battle is won

Overtake

Once the Chaser gets ahead, they win the battle on the spot by crossing the finish line first or by opening the track's set gap over the Leader.

Runaway

If the gap between Leader and Chaser exceeds the track's gap limit, the Leader has broken away and wins the battle on the spot.

Tiebreaker

If both rounds finish with no overtake and no runaway, the driver who chased with the smallest gap behind the Leader takes the battle overall.

In game, an overtake or a runaway shows as Sudden death: the battle ends right there, whichever round it is.

Other ways a battle ends

Jump start

Roll before the start and you lose the battle. Tournaments and team wars restart the round instead.

Forfeit

Quit mid-battle and your opponent takes the win.

Disconnect

Leave the server mid-battle and the driver still on the pass wins.

DNF

Once the Leader is home, the Chaser has 10 seconds to reach the line. Miss it and the Leader wins.

Time limit

A round that runs past the server's time limit goes to the Leader.

Three ways to play

Ranked battles are the heart of the server, with two solo modes to sharpen up between fights.

• 1v1 Touge

  Ranked

  The main event. Challenge any available driver from the in-game Hub, then run a two-round battle. Roles swap between rounds so both drivers lead and chase. Win and your MMR climbs; lose and it drops.

• Time Attack

  Solo

  Solo hotlapping. Start from the pit lane and chase the cleanest run you can. Records are tracked per track, layout and car; hold one and your name sits at the top of that board.

• Training

  Practice

  Set your own sector gates and drill a segment on repeat, solo and with no stakes. Click a gate, then drive through the sector at race pace until the line is muscle memory.

Racing the clock

No opponent, no roles. Just you and the road. Time Attack is a solo hotlap mode for chasing the perfect run and putting your name on the records board.

1. 1

   Start from the pit lane

   Roll out solo and get up to pace. Your lap is timed the moment you cross the start of the stage.

2. 2

   Keep it on the course

   Only cutting the course throws a lap out. Clip a wall and the lap still counts, so keep pushing. Reset any time to start a fresh run.

3. 3

   Chase the delta

   Every lap shows as a gap to the record: green under, red over. Only your single fastest clean lap is kept.

4. 4

   Take the record

   Records are tracked per track, layout and car. Hold the fastest lap and your name sits at the top of that board.

Time Attack is unranked: it doesn't touch your MMR. It's pure pace, on your own time. Check the Time Attack board to see the records to beat.

Proximity voice chat

Talk to the drivers around you. Voices come from their cars and fade with distance, so the pass sounds like a real meet.

1. 1

   Nothing to install

   Voice runs through Custom Shaders Patch. It connects on its own when you join the server.

2. 2

   Set a push-to-talk key

   A card pops up in game the first time: click the button and press the key you want. You can change it any time in the hub's Settings, and wheel buttons work too. For more voice settings, use the Voice Chat app in the CSP sidebar. Can't hear anyone? Open its settings (gear icon) and, on the Playback tab, set the Device to your headset or speakers instead of FMOD; your microphone is on the Recording tab.

3. 3

   Voice follows the race

   In a battle you only hear your opponent. In Time Attack and Training you're alone. Back in free roam, you hear everyone nearby again.

House rules

• Trash talk is fine. Harassment and toxicity are not.
• No griefing: don't block gates, park sideways, or sabotage other drivers.
• Checkpoint cutting or lag manipulation means a permanent ban, no appeal.
