Race Event

"Timer starts when you press play. Send next rounds early to improve your time but be careful! Race games will not save so try not to quit mid-game. Best time wins on the global leaderboard - good luck!"

- BTD6 Race Event notice description Race Event is an event released in Version 7.0 in BTD6. Players can compete with other players around the world to pass all rounds as fast as possible on a predefined map with a specific set of other rules. In addition to this is a new function exclusive to this mode unofficially named "Bloon Rusher", in which the next wave of bloons from the next round can be immediately sent to quicken the pace of completing all forementioned rounds. To prevent unfair records that do not involve strategy (in particular spamming in Super Monkey Storm to win very fast), Powers are disabled for all Race Events.

Players can play the event once every 4 hours within the 7-day period. This can be sped up for 100. The player will gain higher ranks when they beat the map faster. Players who end up on a certain rank at the end of the 7-day period will earn specific rewards.

Trivia

 * In Version 7.0, the event was removed within the first few hours due to iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XR and other widescreen devices users exploiting the use of Powers when other mobile device models cannot access Powers. The Race Event was re-released on Version 7.1 after the maintenence fixes.
 * Increased lag via Bluestacks app or a lower-end device lowers the speed of the game, making it easier to buy-and-resell fast, thus indirectly improving the race time. It is unlikely that this was ever intended.
