Announcements[]
I think that’s how the tune goes? Anyhow, it’s getting close to the best time of year, summer! Woohoo!! Sunny days, beautiful beaches, sun burns, and sweet sweet new Nitro Type cars, titles, and achievements! While we haven’t set an exact start date, we hope to start beginning of June as usual. We are going to need your help though!
For those of you just joining for your first NT Event, you’re in for some awesomeness. We update Nitro Type to be summer themed, release exclusive cars and titles that can only be earned during the summer event, and even switch the track music to some cooool summer vibes. Oh and did I mention you get extra EXP and cash? Each individual event also has some sort of theme to the cars, titles, and achievements. That’s where you come in!
