Start your engine, fasten your seatbelts, and forget everything you learnt in driving school as Kartrider Rush+ introduces a new mode to celebrate its 20th Season. World Kart Championship, as it's dubbed, brings new tracks, karts, and events to prove who is the best driver around.

You can take your new vehicles onto the new Shanghai Circuit or the Rally Circuit which sounds pretty fun.
