Gameplay is quite simple: you race against another car in a short straight line race. You have control over three issues: the accelerator pedal, the gears and the button to active the N2O. You have to manage to launch bettter than you opponent and to gearshift properly in order to overtake it tenths of seconds. Activate the N2O whenever you want, but take into account that it runs out quickly.
You can play against computer in four different difficulty levels (beginner, amateur, pro, and Boss Battle). By winning races you'll get cash that you can use to upgrade your car regarding engine, turbo, intake, nitro, weight or wheels. You'll need some respect points for the latest upgrades. Respect points only can be gained by winning Boss Battle races or by winning online races against other players.
Actually, you can play online in three different ways: face to face, you race with your car against other players with their own car; drivers battle, same car for both players (show your driving skills); Bet and race (bet Respect points and race with your own car). There's another online game mode called "Pro league", you contest on online leaderboard against other players.
In the last times they've added a new game mode: career. You will improve your skills by beating challenge that fit with your level. You can also earn RP this way.
Graphics have really been enhanced since its first release. We warn you: the game is really addictive. There are different cars that you will unlock as the game progresses. Each car has its strengths and weakness and you have to handle them perfectly if you really want to win races. Anyway, you'll need to upgrade your cars if you want to win races online and offline.

TIPS:
0. Updating the game
- Your cars and money are saved on your device. DO NOT EVER uninstall the game before updating, or you will lose ALL of your stuff.
1. Racing
- Launch and shift when the dashboard indicator turns blue or green
- If there is too much wheelspin, you are not going anywhere - watch the orange indicator on your dashboard
- Once you learn how to drive properly, ignore the lights and find your own winning strategy
- Nitrous is more effective on underpowered cars with lots of grip. Timing is crucial!
2. Cars and upgrades
- Test drive before you buy a car!
- The more your car costs, the tougher opposition you'll face both offline and online
- Upgrades count towards increasing car cost/level, while tuning doesn't
- Keep your car cost just under your level cap to get an advantage
- Adjusting gear ratios (Garage -> Upgrade -> Tune) is costly, but lets you achieve times that are impossible on stock settings
3. Game modes and winnings
- Race against beginner/amateur AI to get some quick cash and build your car
- Defeat bosses and unlock achievements for extra RP
- Go online and race against others to earn maximum cash/RP
- If your car isn't ready for online races, earn some cash in "Drivers Battle"
- For the ultimate challenge, race against top players in Pro League
4. Misc
- Join http://facebook.com/DragRacingGame for news and strategy
- Visit the official forums: http://www.dragracingforum.net
- Try playing with vibration on (enable it in the "Settings" menu)!
