New Feature - Cup Mode!
- Players can now compete head to head across three races in the new Cup Mode. Once a match has been found the group will be assigned three random tracks to compete across, and will have to perform one qualifying lap to determine initial grid positions. During the qualifying lap players will get a full tank of KERS, but use it sparingly because anything left will carry over to the first lap of the first race! Players will be assigned points based on the position they finish at, and the next race's grid positions will be determined by the reverse of the previous race's results. We look forward to seeing your feedback in the forums!
