This exclusive feature, available only in the new USST Next events, will provide a blistering experience as players pass through these boosting arches, receiving a temporary speed boost, allowing them to reach over 500kmh! Players will have to watch out for the different types of boosters that take up all or part of the track, and make strategic choices, as AIs can also use these speed boosts!
Players will be able to get behind the wheel of the futuristic AGP concept cars in the Motorflix Arena, the fully dedicated closed track, to master the all-new speed boosters.
This second episode also introduces a brand-new Motorpass, featuring 50 tiers of new exclusive rewards, both free and premium. It includes special edition vehicles such as: the McLaren 720S Spider Blast Edition (Hypercar), the Proto Concept Sparrow Competition (AGP), the Lotus Evora GTE Overcut Edition (Street race), plus various vanity items, outfits, currency packs (Crew Credits and Bucks), and much more.
A total of 17 tiers will offer free rewards, among which Creators Concept Spruemeister SM71 (AGP), created by John Frye, lead designer, digital modeling, and visualization team at Honda Motorsports.
In USST NEXT, many vehicles from previous Motorpass will make their comeback to the store, so players can purchase these vehicles with bucks or CCs.
