The first of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled's promised post-launch events is now live in-game: the Nitro Tour Grand Prix.
The first of several Grand Prix seasons announced for the game, Nitro Tour offers up a brand new track called Twilight Tour which is based on Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped's Ancient Egypt and Arabian Town worlds. You'll also find playable character Tawna Bandicoot waiting for you as a Grand Prix reward.
That's not all, though. The Nitro Squad - Isabella, Liz, Megumi, and Ami - are also making a return (originally the Trophy Girls), and you'll be able to check out new challenges, karts, leaderboards and additional in-game rewards.
If it hasn't done so automatically, make sure your game has updated to the latest version to get stuck in (hover over the game on your Switch home screen, press '-' or '+', go down to 'Software Update', and select 'Via the Internet'). You can check out the upcoming Grand Prix events planned for the game right here.
Have you been enjoying the game so far? Will you be getting stuck into this brand new content? Let us know in the usual place.

So will the track and character be available after or will it be something like paid DLC? I haven't picked up a copy yet so, yeah...
This game is so great , make me think of Diddy kong racing with the Adventure mode and the hub!
It’s a shame most of us won’t get past the bronze rewards and so much of the content is locked behind playing online and being good online.... bit disappointed
Will it be added for free later like Mario Tennis Aces?
It's great they're supporting the game post launch with so much content, but with it being Activision I'm wary this will turn into a lootbox/microtransaction situation... all this 'seasons' style unlocks is very suspicious. Especially with their track record (looking at you Black Ops 4)
@Jayofmaya no. The character will be added to the in game store where she can be purchased for in game currency.
The track was added to the level select screen so you can pick it any time you want
@mrmememan yes. You'll just have to collect the required amount of in game currency to buy her in the games store
@NintenDan_ The Pitstop is already an always online microtransaction store. Only thing they need to do is add the ability to buy Wumpa coins. There's also the horrible rotation which means you can't buy characters you want UNLESS the store lets you which is just a set up for lootboxes.
FYI, the online is trash.

Win but still lost due to bad netcode.
@ChompyMage Good because I don't have the game yet
@mrmememan it's really, really good. Mario is my favorite franchise ever and even I can admit this is better than any Mario Kart game I've ever played
Tawna being playable is really cool, but let's be real... YOU ALL SAW SPYRO IN THAT CINEMATIC TOO!! HYYYYYPE
It's really cool to see that they're doing events like this, I wish Nintendo had done the same with MK8.
@SlyPlayr09 cheers, playing it now 👍
@ChompyMage Thanks for the info! Will be getting it at the end of the month
@Stocksy @roro26 @NintenDan_ @PBandSmelly @ChompyMage @Azikira @SlyPlayr09 @Onion @USWITCH64 Hey, is anyone playing this still? I have no friends for the Nitro challenges with friends. Mine is: SW-4600-3375-7231
@Jayofmaya I still play constantly. I'll send you a request.
@Jayofmaya I still come on pretty often, I'll drop you a request soon!
@PBandSmelly Tell me about it! I've done everything I can so far and still only half way there! I got your request but I believe my net settings need changing. Something about an NAT port setting or something. I'm gonna try and fix it tomorrow and then I'll send you an invite when I next see you pop up online. Thanks
@ChompyMage Thanks! Are you Trump2020? If so, I added you. My net setting need changing, though. It says "unable to join" when I tried to join your game. I'm going to ring up tomorrow to see if I can sort it then I'll shoot you an invite when I see you.
@NintenDan_ Awesome dude! Nice bass btw
@Jayofmaya That's me. Lol. We may need a way to communicate to each other but I'll try to keep an eye out for you.
