How do you control the vehicle in this car racing game?

Desktop players steer using Left/Right arrow keys or A/D keys and trigger Turbo Boost using the Z key or Spacebar. Mobile and tablet players swipe on the canvas or tap the on-screen directional buttons.

What do the blue shield power-ups do?

Collecting an energy shield grants immunity for one collision, letting your car absorb traffic crashes without forfeiting any of your 3 lives.

How does Near-Miss bonus scoring work?

Overtaking an opponent car within close lateral proximity at high velocity triggers a +25 point Near-Miss bonus accompanied by audio confirmation.
