Bugs/Glitches[]

  • Despite Boss Battle: Chrome Marauder (2) does not count towards the progress in a Racing Pass, the animation when a new level is reached or a new page is unlocked is still shown.
  • Audio Ad Relay Offers bug: Despite being announced in the official patch notes (available after playing a Career, Event, or Gauntlet race), the feature was not materialized, or at least not available to some players on different platforms.
  • 2025-09-11 "Game On" Cup's bugs:
    • The Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder, the Bugatti Mistral, and the ATS GT, despite being required to participate, were displayed as "Free-try".
    • When accessing directly from the Event tab, even if the duration of each Sprint has not ended, the event cannot be played, as the "Play" button is greyed out and displayed as "Finished". A workaround is to access it from the Calendar tab.
    • On the 2nd Sprint, Barcelona Sprint 5, using the Donkervoort D8 GTO or the Buick Riviera at stock, even with boosters and possibly with VIP buffs, does not guarantee that the player can finish the race without being disqualified.
      • This was fixed on September 15, 2025, with the aforementioned 2 cars were changed to a free-try, PRO one.
    • If the player accumulated more than 10 Cups, the indicator would display as if no Cups were accumulated.
  • Players on Windows platform are once again unable to watch ads to get rewards.
  • The first time the player opened the game, the buttons to watch ads to get rewards were inaccessible. Restarting the game would fix the issue.
  • 12th Anniversary Cake Hunt's bugs:
    • In the 2025-09-19 Airborne Anniversary Cup, one of the Goals requires the player to do 5 stunts 2 times, which is impossible to do as only bikes can do a stunt and this event features cars only.
      • This was changed to "Nitro distance: 200" on September 20, 2025.
    • Some players reported no Cakes appeared on the track, despite playing multiple races in the aforementioned Airborne Anniversary Cup and the 2025-09-19 Oktoberfast Cup that feature Cakes as a collectible item. This possibly happened if the player already finished a race in the Airborne Anniversary Cup.
      • This also possibly happened if the player is already in Champion League or above in any of the World Series season.
      • On September 25, 2025, affected players were compensated with a random amount of Cakes. However, the bug resurfaced on September 26, 2025.
  • In the 2025-10-10 Formula E Cup, one of the Goals requires the player to do 5 stunts 3 times, which is impossible to do as only bikes can do a stunt and this event features the Formula E Gen2, which is a car.
    • This was changed to "No wrecks" on October 11, 2025.
