Tips

TIPS:
0. Updating the game
- Your cars and money are saved on your device. DO NOT EVER uninstall the game before updating, or you will lose ALL of your stuff.
1. Racing
- Launch and shift when the dashboard indicator turns blue or green
- If there is too much wheelspin, you are not going anywhere – watch the orange indicator on your dashboard
- Once you learn how to drive properly, ignore the lights and find your own winning strategy
- Nitrous is more effective on underpowered cars with lots of grip. Timing is crucial!

2. Cars and upgrades
- Test drive before you buy a car!
- The more your car costs, the tougher opposition you’ll face both offline and online
- Upgrades count towards increasing car cost/level, while tuning doesn’t
- Keep your car cost just under your level cap to get an advantage
- Adjusting gear ratios (Garage -> Upgrade -> Tune) is costly, but lets you achieve times that are impossible on stock settings

3. Game modes and winnings
- Race against beginner/amateur AI to get some quick cash and build your car
- Defeat bosses and unlock achievements for extra RP
- Go online and race against others to earn maximum cash/RP
- If your car isn’t ready for online races, earn some cash in “Drivers Battle”
- For the ultimate challenge, race against top players in Pro League

4. Misc
- Join http://facebook.com/DragRacingGame for news and strategy
- Visit the official forums: http://www.dragracingforum.net
- Try playing with vibration on (enable it in the “Settings” menu)!
- If the game runs slow on your phone, use the task manager to kill unnecessary background tasks, or reboot the device

FAQ

- Can I transfer my data between devices?
Unfortunately, no. User data is stored on the device memory, therefore it is impossible to transfer data between devices. Many players use backup tools such as Titanium to backup and transfer data, however, we do not encourage this and will not be able to help you if anything goes wrong.

- I have reset/replaced my phone, how can I get my progress back?
Unfortunately, at the moment it is not possible to transfer your data to another device, or restore it remotely. We are planning to address this issue in the future iterations of Drag Racing.

- Does the game support cross-platform multiplayer?
Yes. In online modes you race against users playing Android and iOS versions.

- How do I change my online name?
Go to Race->Race Online menu. Tap the “CHANGE NAME” button near the bottom of the screen and enter your desired nickname.

- I see no cars on levels 9 and 10, where are they?
There are no cars that qualify as level 9-10 in stock configuration. You need to buy and upgrade level 7 or 8 cars to race at levels 9 and 10.

- Can you add Hyundai Genesis, Honda Civic, trucks, boats, bicycles, space shuttle, etc.?
We are not adding cars after player requests, because our primary concern is exciting gameplay where every car is balanced and competitive. However, we have a long list of cars that are waiting to be added, and the car you’d like to see is probably on that list.

- What does “timed out” mean in Pro League?
For some reason your result was not submitted in time. You have around 30 seconds to complete the run (the countdown starts the moment you see the race screen). Being on a slow network or temporarily losing connection causes most timeouts. We are constantly optimizing the game to handle these situations.

- Why I can’t race with my best car in Pro League? Do I have to get back to level 1?
When you first enter the Pro League, you can only participate in level 1 races. You will unlock higher levels after you earn enough rank points.

- I can’t race in Pro League! It says that I don’t have a car for this level.
You must own a car for each level you’d like to race on. E.g. if you want to participate in level 5 Pro League races, you must own a car which currently qualifies as a level 5 car, including upgrades.

- I have 5000 rank in Pro League, why did it stop growing? or – I used to earn lots of rank for winning, but now I only get a few points. What’s up? and – Why do I lose rank in Pro League?
Rank reflects your relative strength. The higher is your rank, the higher you need to place in order to maintain or improve your status. Keep winning, and it will go up. Keep losing, and it will decrease. 5000 is the maximum possible rank achievable in Pro League races.

- The game freezes/crashes on my phone. Will you do something about it?
We do our best to ensure smooth and stable gameplay on each of 500+ available devices.

- How do I tune my car?
Some hints can be found on forum DragRacingForum.net.
