GP Race Modes
β’
Race (Qualifier): You will begin with the QUALIFIER RACE (Preliminary), where you will race against the clock for one lap. Your starting position in the FINAL RACE will depend on your time in the QUALIFIER. Scoring the best time awards you the Pole Position, while slower times drop you further back (up to 16th position).

Final: You will have 3 laps to battle it out with 16 racers, including yourself. Contact with other machines makes control difficult and can cause you to fall off. Points are awarded according to your Goal ranking (order of finish) to calculate your overall ranking.
