Hey Speedstars!
In Season 22, we’re making early Racer Progression faster!
With the new changes to Racer Progression, you'll need fewer Racer Shards and Tune Coins to reach 4 Stars, allowing you to progress through the early Stars faster and unlock Unique Skills sooner.
There's no increase to the total resources needed to reach 6 Stars: you'll still need 260 Racer Shards and 26,000 Tune Coins to fully upgrade a Racer.
WHAT’S CHANGING?
We're redistributing the resource costs across the different Stars:
- ⭐ 0–4 Stars: Fewer Shards and Tune Coins needed.
- ⭐ 4–6 Stars: More Shards and Tune Coins needed.
- ⭐ 0–6 Stars overall: Total resource cost stays the same.
NEW DISTRIBUTION OF SHARDS
Here’s how many Racer Shards you'll now need to upgrade a Racer to different Stars:
Stars | Racer Shards for 1st Star Fragment | Racer Shards for 2nd Star Fragment | Racer Shards for 3rd Star Fragment | Racer Shards for 4th Star Fragment | Racer Shards for 5th Final Star Fragment | Total Racer Shards for a Full Star |
0 → 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 15 |
1 → 2 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 25 |
2 → 3 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 35 |
3 → 4 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 9 | 45 |
4 → 5 | 13 | 13 | 13 | 13 | 13 | 65 |
5 → 6 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 15 | 75 |
With the new system, you'll need:
- 15 Shards from 0 → 1 Star, instead of 28.
- 25 Shards from 1 → 2 Stars, instead of 34.
- 35 Shards from 2 → 3 Stars, instead of 40.
- 45 Shards from 3 → 4 Stars, instead of 46.
That's 28 fewer Racer Shards needed to progress from 0 to 4 Stars.
NEW DISTRIBUTION OF TUNE COINS
The Tune Coins costs are being redistributed in the same way. Here's how many Tune Coins you'll need to upgrade Racers:
Stars | Tune Coins for 1st Star Fragment | Tune Coins for 2nd Star Fragment | Tune Coins for 3rd Star Fragment | Tune Coins for 4th Star Fragment | Tune Coins for 5th Star Fragment | Total Tune Coins for a Full Star |
0 → 1 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 | 1500 |
1 → 2 | 500 | 500 | 500 | 500 | 500 | 2500 |
2 → 3 | 700 | 700 | 700 | 700 | 700 | 3500 |
3 → 4 | 900 | 900 | 900 | 900 | 900 | 4500 |
4 → 5 | 1300 | 1300 | 1300 | 1300 | 1300 | 6500 |
5 → 6 | 1500 | 1500 | 1500 | 1500 | 1500 | 7500 |
You'll need 12,000 Tune Coins to progress from 0 to 4 Stars, instead of 14,800. That's 2,800 fewer Tune Coins for the first four Stars.
The cost of Stars 5 and 6 will increase, but the total cost from 0 to 6 Stars remains unchanged: 260 Racer Shards + 26,000 Tune Coins.
WHAT TO DO BEFORE THE UPDATE
To get the most out of your current resources, here's what we recommend:
- Your Racer has 3 Stars and 3 Fragments or less - wait for the update.
- You'll need fewer Shards and Tune Coins to continue progressing after the new system goes live.
- If you Racer is close to 4 Stars and you plan to level them up further, you may want to upgrade them as much as you can before the update because of the increase in resource costs at higher Stars.
- Your Racer has 3 Stars and 4 Fragments or more - prioritize upgrading before the update.
- The resource cost for these higher Star racers will increase after the update.
The changes to the Racer Progression system are launching September 24. See you on the track!
