- Time trial: Race your own ghost car to beat your best lap. Lap times earn gold, silver and bronze.
- Online multiplayer: Create a private room and share its 6-letter code. Up to 8 players can race in one room. Online races use equal car performance, so skill decides.

Cars
Apex Velocity has nine cars to drive, each with its own look and handling:
- GT Coupe (Free): Balanced front-engine coupe. Free from the first race.
- Rally Hatch (3,000 credits): Short, tall, tough.
- Muscle (6,000 credits): Long hood, wide shoulders.
- Hypercar (12,000 credits): Mid-engine, low and wide.
- Vantor GT (Free): Front-engine grand tourer.
- Halden (3,500 credits): Retro-modern mid-engine coupe.

- Strix (15,000 credits): Track wedge with a rear wing and shark fin.
Tracks
Race on four 3D tracks: Coastal Loop, Canyon Run, Neon City and Grand Finale. The career adds reverse and long layouts of each track and mixes in day, dusk, night, fog and storm conditions.
Garage and upgrades
Every new driver starts with 2,500 credits.
Seven performance upgrades (engine, turbo, exhaust, tyres, brakes, nitro tank and weight reduction), each with three levels. A fully upgraded car goes from 191 km/h to 229 km/h top speed, cuts 0 to 100 km/h from 2.6 s to 1.6 s, and lengthens each nitro boost from 3.0 s to 5.4 s.
Paint with a second colour and five finishes, five liveries, race numbers, rims and rim colours, brake caliper colours, four spoilers, exhaust layouts, flame colours, underglow and window tint. Looks are free.
Race your friends online
Choose Online, create a private room and share its 6-letter room code. Friends enter the code on their own device to join the same race. Up to 8 players can race together on PC, Mac, Android or iPhone. Online races use equal car performance, so garage upgrades never decide the result, while your paint, livery and wheels still show to everyone.
