Time-Limited Event (Asphalt 8)

Events are internet based competitions available to players of Asphalt 8: Airborne. Each event is only available for a limited amount of time, after which players who competed can claim their rewards. For the most part, a racer's rewards are judged by their lap time although Multiplayer Events present an exception.

Events require fuel to play. The amount of fuel an event requires varies, but it is important to keep an eye on your fuel bar or you might run it dry. The fuel bar contains 10 fuel points, each of which take about 7 minutes to refill. Alternatively, you can purchase a free refill for 65 tokens.

Events usually require you own certain cars to play. On occasion events will allow players to drive a car they do not own for free.

Event Rewards
There are two types of event rewards; Race Rewards and Leaderboard Rewards.
 * Race rewards typically include a prize for participating and a prize for finishing in first place. These differ from Leaderboard Rewards in that other player's scores are not taken into account. Once you win a Race Reward, you cannot lose it.
 * Leaderboard Rewards combine scores from all across the world, ranked from top to bottom with the highest scores at the top of the leaderboard, and the lowest scores at the bottom. Leaderboard prizes take in to account your position, and the prizes get increasingly more valuable as your position gets higher. As new scores are constantly being uploaded from around the world, just because it seems you have earned certain Leaderboard rewards dose'nt mean you have secured them.
 * A third (and rare) type of event reward is a method used in the Acura NSX 2005 Cup, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe Final Edition Cup, and the 2015 Ford Mustang Cup. In addition to Race and Leaderboard Rewards, these cups included a unique reward system that gave out prizes provided the players finished all of the races. The racer's score depended on how many trophies they won in each race.

Multiplayer Events
Similar to Multiplayer mode, these events pit racers against other players instead of NPCs (Non-Player Characters). The key difference is that every time you play, you increase your points, raising your Leaderboard position. These events require much more devotion, sometimes hours worth of gameplay, if you want to win anything. The one upside is that once you reach the top it is fairly easy to retain your position. Multiplayer events often are very expensive to play, sometimes costing up to four fuel points, meaning you can only play twice for every full fuel bar.

Apex Wednesday
One of Asphalt 8: Airborne's traditions are Apex Wednesday events. These events always focus on a certain type of prize (for example Pro Kits, Tokens, or Decals) and are open to play every Tuesday-Wednesday evening.
