Nitro Starter (Asphalt 8)

Introduction
The Nitro Starter is a powerup in Asphalt 8: Airborne, which allows to start a race with a full nitro bar. As with other boosts the Nitro Starter powerup is effective a certain time during which all the races a player starts are affected.

Usage
The Nitro Starter can be used before the race using a powerup selection before starting a race (if you don't have one, it costs ? Credits to activate one unit). Each unit lasts about 10 minutes. During this period, every race is started with a full nitro bar. If the Extra Tank boost is used, the added extra tank will be full also. The Nitro Starter powerup can be replenished by winning cups or finishing certain collections. The Nitro Starter is also one of the alternating prizes in Multiplayer, when having a nine game winning streak (finishing in the top 3 in nine Multiplayer games in succession) - the other alternative prizes are a C-Class upgrade or 7,500 Credits.

If the Nitro Starter boost is activated, a boost icon will appear in the main menu along with a timer indicating how long the boost will last. A timer will also appear on the Boosts-screen indicating the remaining time of the activated boost.

Trivia

 * In earlier stages of the game (around February 2014, pre Great Wall update era) the Nitro Starter powerups received as trophys in the Time-Limited Events lasted for 2 hours. At that time the Tuning Kit would last for 8 hours and Extra Tank for 4 hours. So, Nitro Starter powerups' duration has been reduced to 1/12 of the original values (a ~91.7 % reduction in duration) and Tuning Kit powerups' duration has been reduced to 1/32 of the original values (a ~96.9 % reduction in duration).
