Introducing REVV Racing Sprint Sessions
Last week REVV Racing was made available to the public with the Alpha Inaugural tournament, and we saw an incredible response from the community. In 7 days a total of 53,379 races were run by 5,554 players, showcasing their skill and determination on the track.
While we finalize the first maiden victors and prepare for the next major tournament (yes, there is much more coming soon!), we are also rolling out the first batch of rapid challenges — introducing the REVV Racing Sprint Sessions!
How REVV Racing Sprint Sessions work
Sprint Sessions are compressed events with a prize pool rewarding the 100 players with the best race times. The first Sprint Session lasts 72 hours. It will be followed by 3 Sprint Sessions of 48 hours each, with a break of 6 hours between every Sprint Session.
All you need to compete in these Sprint Sessions is a REVV Racing car NFT. The currently available REVV Racing cars can be found at the REVV Racing Website, and then purchased on OpenSea.
Each try lets you enter one race, which consists of 3 laps. Your total time for the race is recorded on the leaderboard. Tries cost 5 REVV each.
Keep in mind that REVV Racing is on the Polygon (MATIC) chain, so you will need to use REVV that has been bridged to Polygon. You can either bridge your REVV here or get it from different QuickSwap pools available on Polygon:
REVV Racing car holders will automatically receive a small amount of Polygon tokens when they connect their wallet to the REVV Racing website for the first time; these tokens are to cover transaction fees. The only requirement to receive the free Polygon tokens is that your wallet must contain a REVV Racing car NFT. If you obtain a car NFT after you have already connected your wallet to the REVV Racing website, you must connect your wallet one more time in order to receive the Polygon tokens.
REVV Racing gameplay
In REVV Racing, you have complete control of your car and must accelerate, brake and steer in real-time. For more information check out the controls information in this article.
One player can only qualify for one position per-Sprint Session. REVV Racing reserves the right to disqualify any players in races where foul play is suspected. If a player is disqualified, the next fastest racer will receive the prize.
To qualify for the prize in the Sprint Session tournaments, you will need to hold the NFT in your wallet that was used to achieve the winning time until the winner list has been confirmed. So if the winning player transfers a car used to achieve the winning time to another wallet before the winner list is confirmed, they will forfeit their position.
Prizes
The Prize Pool for each Sprint Session consists of US$10,000 worth of REVV, which will go to 100 winners. Prizes are distributed as follows:
Get an exclusive car
Entrants who will run at least one race in each of the sprints will be awarded a special car NFT exclusive to this run of Sprint Sessions. These cars have the tag ‘Sprint’. Additionally, players who finish in the top 100 of the leaderboards in all 4 Sprint Sessions will also be rewarded with a special car that bears the ‘Sprint King’ tag and that has a unique matching livery.
Sprint Sessions event structure
REVV Racing Sprint Sessions are mini events available between large tournaments. Below you will find a list of upcoming sprints for this run:
How to buy additional tries
Tries can be purchased upon entering the game. Unlike in another REVV Motorsport game F1® Delta Time, tries are not purchased in bundles, but instead are purchased individually at time of play. Tries can only be purchased using REVV.
Hire a Driver (v0.1)
The ‘Hire Driver’ feature allows players who own cars to share their tries and cars with anyone else. This feature allows car owners to “rent” out their cars to other drivers, and still enjoy the benefits of Play-to-Earn without the need to race themselves — a great way to stimulate collaboration between more commercially minded players and those with the racing skills needed to win.
Please note that this feature is a very early version, and offers no assurances of cooperation between players. Any arrangements players make involving this system is purely at their own risk and neither Animoca Brands nor REVV Racing can be held responsible for any problems or disputes arising from this system.
