A futuristic way of racing where the race crafts hover over the ground and race at extreme high speeds.
The art of taking corners is an essential element for any good racing driver, and it is a technique that must be mastered in order to produce the fastest times on track.
Drifting is a technique used in motorsports that involves intentionally over-steering the car to create a slide. This is done both as a competitive and exhibitive technique.
Endurance racing is racing a track for very long periods of time. An example of endurance racing in video games would be the 24 hour Le Mans in GRID.
Sliding on one's knees. Can be used to slide under objects. A variant of this is power sliding, which can be used to tactically escape a sticky situation, dodge enemy fire, or decrease range effectively to the enemy.
Power Ups can be used to give the controlling character, or any other character, temporary or permanent upgrades.
A rocket start is an element that appears in most fictional racing games; it is an important technique to gain boost at the start of a race by accelerating at the right time. This technique is inspired by the Mario Kart series. It is also used in other games, too!
The speed blur effect is typically used in racing games. It consists of the edges of the screen, or any object in the world blurring as the player moves quickly.
Temporarily makes your character or the world around you go faster, either by stepping on an object, activating a power or object, or by collecting a power up. There are many other ways in which a Speed boost can be used and it depends on the game.
Illegal auto racing taking place on public roads.
Super Speed is the ability for a character to travel at speeds normally unattainable by regular humans. Super speed can be a stock super power by characters such as the Flash & Sonic the Hedgehog, or a technologically enhanced ability like Nomad in Crysis.
Players compete against the clock to secure the fastest time possible. This is often added to racing games for extra replay value and typically requires a higher degree of skill.
