Congratulations! You’ve made it through the auditions
and joined the elite group of drivers in this season of the
global TV reality series known as Split/Second.
The scene is set for the most outrageous televised
motorsport ever seen, in a city built for speed,
destruction, and maximum pyrotechnic spectacle.
Every racetrack is lined with Power Plays — racechanging traps designed to smash your opponents
off the track at the touch of the button on your
dashboard. So winning each event is as much about
ruthlessly wrecking your rivals’ cars as it is about
taking the best line through the corners.
Remember, when speed is not enough —
the city is your weapon!

Near Miss – Dodge a Power Play that has just been
triggered in your path.
Drift Pass – Overtake an opponent while drifting.
Jump Pass – Overtake an opponent in mid-air.
To trigger a Power Play you need to fill up at least
one segment in your Power Bar, and hold onto it until
you’re driving near a Power Play on the track.
Filling a blue segment of your Power Bar is enough to
fire a Level 1 Power Play. Save your Power up to fill
the red bar and you can trigger the devastating Level
2 Power Plays.
Watch out for colored icons appearing above the road
ahead, or over your opponent’s car. A blue icon tells
you there’s a Level 1 Power Play nearby, and a red
icon highlights a Level 2 Power Play. When you see
an icon, get ready to hit the appropriate Power Play
button and watch the action unfold!
When you race new tracks, try to learn how each
Power Play works to refine your timings, and watch
out for Power Plays that open shortcuts and unlock
new routes with even more Power Play opportunities!
