The different is the possibility to win real money and great material prices. By the end of September we are running weekly tournaments which you can participate for free!

q) Can the drivers make money from this? How will you split up the drivers from professional ones to casual want to try drive?

There are three different skill levels in the game. You start as a rookie and the more cash you spent and the better you get during your races the higher your skill level will get and you´ll be soon an amateur. The highest level is City Master.

q) How will drivers make money and is it worth them getting sponsors like formula one drivers?

Drivers make money out of game-pots they win. To participate at a real money race you have to spent at least € 1,-. So for example, when you have a 8 person race with € 5,- bet, the winner will get € 18,-, the second € 7,5 and the third € 4,5
