INTRODUCTION

Buggy racing:

Fast, furious and fun. Take on all-comers to unlock

new tracks, find new buggies and finally conquer the

vast Hub System. Use and abuse the buggies, tracks

and gates, to win all that lies before you. Learn the

tracks and learn the gates, just perfect for some wild

buggy power-ups and essential for first class racing!

You don’t have to race all of the time. You might

want to beat your best time, or locate the shortcuts,

but you could find a bit more than you bargained

for: Some tracks have unbelievable secret areas all

of their own. Brains will be needed as well as skill...

What are you waiting for? Go and get amongst ‘em!
