Grand Prix

The  is a series of limited time special events in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Every Grand Prix introduces a new race course to the game, along with an assortment of items to the Pit Stop. During a Grand Prix, players fill their Nitro Gauge across three tiers - Bronze, Silver and Gold - through the completion of challenges and earn items such as stickers, kart decals, kart bodies, characters and character skins as they fill it up. Players also compete in up to two leaderboards: The Championship Leaderboard, which ranks players according to their performance in Online Matchmaking mode and the Nitro Leaderboard, which ranks players according their acquired Nitro. Every player that ranks in the top 5% of either leaderboard at the end of the grand prix will be awarded a season decal to the Champion Kart, which is also awarded for first time winners.

Every Grand Prix-related announcement is done via "CTR TV", a news broadcast show presented by Chick Gizzard Lips and Stew. A scrolling text banner also appears on the main menu, informing players about the track of the day, daily star and the new race track.

In the "Grand Prix" menu, players are shown information on their Nitro Gauge and are presented with a list of challenges that can be done for extra Nitro points. This menu can be accessed through the main menu in the "Grand Prix" button.

The first Grand Prix, Nitro Tour, started on July 3rd, 2019 and will end on July 28th, 2019.

Nitro Gauge
The "Nitro Gauge" is filled through completing challenges, races or battles. Completing any offline race or battle rewards the player with 5 Nitro, while completing any online race or battle rewards 10 Nitro, instead.

Using certain items during a match can increase Nitro Point gain. Items that increase the Nitro bonus have a small canister on the bottom-left corner of their icon, along with the appropriate percentage bonus.

Challenges
Each set of challenges can only be done under a limited time, such as one day, one week or the entire duration of the grand prix.
