Hey, Augs.

The grid’s burning hot tonight. Streetlights flicker like dying stars. Word’s out across every sector:

Race to the Helipad begins tomorrow.

This isn’t just another blast through the mines. It’s an all-out scramble for survival. A vertical dash to the last extraction point before the corp shuttles close the sky. And this time, you choose how deep you bleed.

Two Ways to Run

Softcore Mode

Run fast, crash hard, get back up. Respawns are active, and failure just means you’re learning the map. Perfect for fine-tuning your build and mastering the turns before going full speed.

Hardcore Mode - “One Run. One Life.”

No respawns. No mercy. You crash, you’re out. Your run data is archived, your name marked red on the global grid. Only the most precise Runners reach the Helipad in Hardcore.

Every mode earns rewards - and the prizes will be announced tomorrow when the event goes live.

How to Join

Download the updated demo tomorrow.

Carbon Pick your mode - Softcore or Hardcore - and hit the Ruhan mining facility.

Event runs from 10/11 20:00 (CEST) - 20/11 17:00 (CEST). After that, the skies close.

Rewards

Prizes will be revealed tomorrow at launch, including rewards for both Softcore and Hardcore runners.

All participants will earn at least an exclusive “Helipad Racer” profile frame.

See you at the top, The Carbon Team
