Development footage. - [Night race on neighbourhood streets: launch from neutral, a crowd at the start line and headlights down the strip.](https://shiftrivals.com/assets/video/hero.mp4) (MP4, [poster](https://shiftrivals.com/assets/video/hero.jpg)) - [Daytime practice at the raceway: hold the revs, launch on green and land a perfect shift.](https://shiftrivals.com/assets/video/day.mp4) (MP4, [poster](https://shiftrivals.com/assets/video/day.jpg)) ## Win in the garage, finish it on the strip - **Build it your way.** Engine, gearbox, turbo, nitro, tyres and weight. Every change shows on the dyno and in your time, so you know what a part really does before the light turns green. - **Nail every shift.** Start in neutral, hold the revs and launch on green. Jump too early and you red-light; shift late and the rival pulls away. Timing is half the win. - **Take on your rivals.** Line up 1-on-1 online, challenge friends and race opponents matched by car potential. Your progress, credits and cars live safely on your account. - **Make it yours.** Paint, finishes, decals, neon, wheels and calipers. Looks never change performance: the fastest car is the best-prepared one, not the one that paid more. ## Six places to line up Quiet residential streets, downtown avenues, the industrial district, the harbour, the waterfront and a proper raceway. Race short sprints of 201 m, 402 m, 804 m, by day or under the street lights, with a crowd waiting at the start. - Neighbourhood - Downtown - Industrial district - Harbour - Waterfront - Raceway ## Screenshots - ![Night start in the neighbourhood: two pickups at the line and the crowd lining the street, seen from the driver's seat.](https://shiftrivals.com/assets/img/shot-s01.webp) - ![Paint shop: choose the colour and finish of the car, shown in the workshop.](https://shiftrivals.com/assets/img/shot-s02.webp) - ![Wheels and brakes: rim design, suspension, discs and calipers for a pickup.](https://shiftrivals.com/assets/img/shot-s03.webp) - ![The city map at night, where you pick where to race.](https://shiftrivals.com/assets/img/shot-s04.webp) - ![Race result: reaction time, strip time, total time and top speed for both drivers.](https://shiftrivals.com/assets/img/shot-s05.webp) - ![Daytime practice at the raceway, mid-run, with the analogue gauges in view.](https://shiftrivals.com/assets/img/shot-s06.webp) ## Free to play, fair to race - **Free to play.** Download, race and progress without paying.
