Announcements[]
For those of you joining Nitro Type for the first time ever, welcome! A few times a year, we run limited time "events" where you will earn exclusive cars, titles, and extra cash and experience, just by showing up and racing!
― Travis
This year's first event, thrown as always by our good friend The Wampus, is jam-packed with alternative energy cars directly from the science fair! I mean, potatoes are an alternative source of energy right?

Trivia[]
- Oddly, all of the event's cars could be viewed in the Dealership when the event started. If a player tried purchasing them, it would say the cars were invalid.
- The admins leaked all of the cars on social media before they were actually released. [6]
- Season 23 began once every car had been released.
- This is the first event to take place on Nitro Type v3.
- This event featured one of four different limited-time site themes, and was the only time period on v3 that featured the Back 2 School theme. The only other seasons that contained site themes were Season 25, Season 28, Season 30, and Season 44.
- This event was primarily spearheaded by asssa123, former community manager of Nitro Type, who did most of the ideation for this event.
- The titles were suggested and chosen by the members of the Nitro Type Discord server in a channel made by former admin asssa123 and the admins and moderators of the server devoted to suggesting titles.
- A few glitches occurred when the event ended, which was about nine hours after Season 23 ended:
- The main site was reverted back to normal, but the test site still had the Back 2 School banner. Despite it seeming like the event was still in session, both the Back 2 School bonus and the achievements were unable to be obtained.
- Upon going to race logs and looking at a race that would have the Back 2 School bonus, it would not properly show the Back 2 School emoji, and it did not contain the text "Back 2 School Bonus:" before the amount of cash.
- The B.U.S. and S'cool B.U.S. remained in the dealership but under the Achievement Cars section.
- This was the last event in the game before events were replaced by battle-pass inspired seasons.
