Racers! We're back with an EXCITING breakdown of what to expect for Update 0.29!⚡ 

🎬The Ultimate Guide to Publicity Drive 🎬

Get ready to turn up the volume and step into the spotlight! Publicity Drive is our brand-new Crew-only game mode where racing meets reputation. It’s not just about crossing the finish line; it’s about making sure the world knows your name.

Here is everything you need to know to lead your Crew to the top.


What is Publicity Drive? 🎬

Instead of a traditional race series, you are taking on a local Boss (like Trish, Marco, or Bo) in a battle for influence. Your goal as a crew is to generate more Publicity than the Boss to knock them off their pedestal.

Duration: Bosses rotate every 48 hours.
Access: Open to all players in a Crew who have reached Collection PWR 4800.
Attempts: You get 3 free races per day, make them count!
Rewards: Each boss has their own set of rewards, so plan ahead!


Master the Terms 📝

To maximize your score, you need to understand the lingo:
Views: Your base score, determined by your car’s PWR.
Publicity: Your final total score after all multipliers are applied. This is what clears stages!
Buffs & Debuffs: Rotating boss modifiers. Using specific cars might give you a Score Multiplier, while a "Bad Launch" might cut your score in half. Double check before picking your ride!


Taking Down the Boss 🔥

The Boss’s popularity bar is split into three Stages. As a Crew, you’ll work together to clear them:
Stage 1 & 2: Clear these to unlock the specified rewards.
Stage 3: The final showdown. Beat this stage to fully defeat the Boss and earn the biggest payout.


The Rewards 💎

Publicity Drive is one of the best ways to stack resources:
Crew Milestone Rewards: Everyone in the Crew who participated gets rewards (Cash, Blue Gems, or Purple Gems) based on the Stages that the crew has cleared.
Individual Leaderboard: Your rank within your Crew determines how much you take home. The harder you push, the more you earn!
Crew Reputation: Beating a Boss levels up your Crew's standing with them, unlocking even better rewards for the next time they show their face.
That's a wrap for Publicity Drive, coming soon in Update 0.29!
