Regenerates the circuit at the chosen length.

Past days

Every circuit comes from its date, so a past day races exactly as it was.

Custom seed

Any string generates a circuit nobody else has — share the string to share the track.

How to drive

Rear brakes only. Brake early and straight, then trail off as you turn in — the fastest way round, and correct technique.

Trail braking, common mistakes, and the Data panel

Trail braking is easing off the brake as you turn in, instead of finishing braking before the corner — it keeps weight, and grip, on the front tyres exactly when you need them to turn. Brake harder than the tyres can hold and you lock up; carry too much speed into the corner and you run wide of the apex. Both are drill's most common Note, and both cost the same thing: time against the ideal line.

The Data panel charts exactly this. SPEED and BRAKE/STEER trace what you did. TIME LOST shows where a corner cost you against the ideal lap — click Worst moment to jump straight there. GRIP USED shows how much of each tyre's available grip you actually spent, and the envelope chart beside it is an egg, not a circle, because this kart brakes only its rear wheels — there is front-tyre grip on the table the pedal alone can never reach.

Realism

What does this change?

Grip, brake force and the ideal lap don't depend on the mode, so the braking points you learn always hold. The mode only changes what happens when you go past the limit. More modes will return later; for now every lap is driven in Arcade.

Assists Brake assist Stability control

These two start from your realism mode. Change one and it stays that way until you pick a mode again.

Automatic braking

Brakes into every corner for you, so all you do is steer. Laps driven with it keep their own records and stay off the leaderboard.

Tyres Tyre temperature & wear

Tyres make grip change through the lap, so the ideal lap becomes an approximation rather than a fixed target.

Ghost

The reference ghost drives the solver's own line. A rival ghost is a real lap from the player just ahead of you — needs a leaderboard.

Which should I use?

Track-up keeps the circuit still, so a braking point is always in the same spot on screen — easier to learn a lap. Kart-up turns the world so the kart always points up — easier to read where you are heading. Reduced motion forces Track-up.

Practice a corner

Drop in on the approach at the speed the ideal lap arrives with, and rehearse the braking point. Practice runs are not timed and never touch your best.

Grand Prix

Three circuits back to back — today and the two days before it, on a wider track with a grid of AI racers. Finish position earns championship points; retry a stage as much as you like before moving on.

How elimination qualifying works

Before every circuit you run an F1-style knockout: Q1, then Q2, then Q3. The slowest drivers drop out after Q1 and Q2; the rest fight for pole in Q3. A limited number of flying laps per segment, best one counts. Knocked out early? You still start the race from that slot.
