Race through four seasons and a Czech Grand Final. You can retry each race three times. After that, a retirement earns zero points and you can move on. Finishing a season in the top three earns 5, 3 or 1 starting points for the final. Rivals use the same scoring. Each season and its final can be completed once per playthrough. To replay, start the whole championship again.
Practice, time trial, quick race and championship share personal lap records. Each track and difficulty has separate records. Opening laps from the grid and flying laps are compared separately. Recovered laps are not saved. In practice and time trial, a subtle ghost replays your best lap. It fades near your car.
On the easiest difficulty, a thin line shows the recommended racing line. Orange marks the braking zones.

Wrong way: 50% speed and a flashing car. After 3 s, recovery to the track (+3 s). Backing out in reverse for up to 3 s is free of penalty. Longer reversing starts the normal wrong-way warning.
Driving off track slows and damages your car. Go beyond the runoff area and the car returns to the track (+3 s).
A medium car impact costs 5 health points; a high-speed impact costs 10. Damage depends on the closing speed along the contact. In a rear-end impact, the front car takes only a quarter: 1.25 or 2.5 points. A light brush causes no damage. The same rules apply to you and every rival.
A severe crash or violent departure can leave oil. The spill fades over about 30 seconds. A full crossing reduces grip for up to six seconds. Dirty tyres leave weakening trails. They disappear with the original spill.
If your hit sends a rival off the track and rolls it over, your engine briefly loses power. A flashing red exclamation mark shows the penalty.
R · recover to the track (+3 s). You can briefly pass through other cars. The car is not repaired. You keep your remaining nitro.
