About Night City Racing
Night City Racing is a driving simulator that picks the best hour for one — everything happens under streetlights, where the reflections do most of the work of making ten super-sport cars look expensive. The handling sits on the realistic side of arcade, so weight transfer and braking distance actually matter through corners.
Each car is customisable on both the engine side and the visual side, meaning a slow starter car can be built into something that keeps up rather than being discarded. Both one-player and two-player modes run on the same city, so a friend can take the other half of the keyboard without loading anything new.
How to play
In single player, drive with WASD or the arrow keys and hold either Shift for NOS. Press T to look back, C to change the camera view, and R to reset your car when you end up on the roof. In two-player mode, Player 1 takes the arrow keys with M for NOS while Player 2 drives with WASD.
Controls
- 1 player — W A S D / Arrow keys, Shift NOS, T look back, C camera, R reset
- Player 1 (2P) — Arrow keys drive, M NOS
- Player 2 (2P) — W A S D drive
Tips to win
- Brake before the corner and accelerate through it; this handling model punishes mid-corner braking.
- Put your first upgrades into the engine — visual parts change nothing about lap times.
- The reset key is faster than driving out of a crash. Use it the moment you are facing the wrong way.
Night City Racing strategy guide
Single-player keys. Drive with W A S D or the arrow keys, and hold either Shift for NOS. R restarts your car's position, T looks back and C changes the camera view. That set covers everything you need, so the real learning curve is how each car feels on the road.
Two-player keys. In two-player mode, Player 1 drives with the arrow keys and uses M for NOS, while Player 2 drives with W A S D. The game supports both a 1 player and a 2 player mode, so a friend can join on the same keyboard without any setup beyond picking the mode.
Ten cars to make your own. There are 10 super-sport cars, and each one is customizable on both the engine side and the visual side. The engine side is where performance lives, while the visual side lets you style the car the way you like. Try a few cars before committing, because they will not all feel the same.
Drive like it is a simulator. The game presents itself as a realistic car driving simulator, so treat corners with some respect. Slow down before a turn rather than in the middle of it, then accelerate as you straighten out. Save NOS for straight sections where the extra speed will not push you wide. Change the camera with C until you find a view that lets you judge distances comfortably.
Reset instead of struggling. When the car is stuck, facing the wrong way or on its roof, press R instead of trying to drive out of trouble. It is almost always faster. Use T to look back when a friend is chasing you, but keep most of your attention on the road ahead, since a crash costs far more than a glance behind is worth.
Night City Racing FAQ
Is Night City Racing 2 player?
Yes. It has both a 1 player mode and a 2 player mode on the same keyboard.
How many cars are in Night City Racing?
There are 10 super-sport cars, each customizable on both the engine side and the visual side.
Which key is NOS in Night City Racing?
In single player, hold either Left Shift or Right Shift for NOS. In two-player mode, Player 1 uses M for NOS. Since the game handles like a realistic driving simulator, save the boost for straight sections; firing it in a corner tends to push the car wide, which costs more time than the extra speed gains.
How do you fix a flipped or stuck car in Night City Racing?
Press R to restart your car's position. When the car is stuck, facing the wrong way, or on its roof, resetting is almost always faster than trying to drive out of trouble. In single player, T lets you look back and C changes the camera view if you need a better angle afterward.
