Elite class
Elite class is a race class. Tuned craft that rarely wait. Null cores in every podium box.
Opening it
Podium the Pro Championship, then pay the ELITE licence fee and pass its three tests (below).
The field
- Rivals' craft: +9 on every driving stat.
- Pace: 102% of the base.
- A leader waits for you once 320 m clear.
- Rivals boost in bursts. They drift.
Purse
A grid race pays by place (nine craft), times 6:
| Place | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Credits | 2,400 | 1,800 | 1,350 | 960 | 660 | 450 | 300 | 210 | 150 |
Cups
- Storm Cup
- Elite Championship (final)
Each pays its first podium of the day in Krypton.
