Core Play Guides
Getting Started
Master the essentials in minutes

Optimising Your Track
Shape smoother flow and faster exits
- ā¢Layer gentle banking through linked corners to cut braking and hold momentum
- ā¢Give straights a short entry buffer so cars stabilize before you go full throttle
- ā¢Study ghost sector deltas, then return to the editor and tweak the modules that bleed speed
- ā¢Name each layout clearly and tag its difficulty so other drivers know what to expect
Community & Sharing
Put your circuits and ghosts in front of other racers
- ā¢Export ghosts after a PB and share the code so friends can chase your line
- ā¢Drop track IDs in the Discord Hot Lap Lab channel for feedback
- ā¢Follow the dev log for physics updates and balance tweaks
- ā¢Join community events to watch elite drivers break down their sector strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Track Building
How do I keep my track feeling smooth?
Widen apex radii and add subtle banking so cars stay planted from corner entry to exit. Use Path Preview to ensure no sudden drops or jumps appear.
Can I save multiple versions of a layout?
Yes. Use āSave Asā after each big change, note the version and key adjustments, and you can revert or compare runs anytime.
Can I edit a track after publishing it?
Create a duplicate draft, refine the sections you want, then publish under a new version number. The previous layout remains playable.
Time Trials & Ghosts
How do I share or import ghosts?
Click āShare Ghostā on the results screen to generate a code. Enter someone elseās code to load their ghost for the next run.
Why was my lap marked invalid?
Check that you hit every checkpoint and stayed inside track bounds. If layout geometry caused the issue, adjust checkpoint hitboxes in the editor.
Can I race friends live?
Poly Track currently focuses on asynchronous ghost racing. Real-time multiplayer is in developmentāwatch the dev log for updates.
Technical Support
What should I do if the game fails to load?
Ensure WebGL is enabled, refresh the page, and clear cached data. If issues persist, try the latest Chrome or Edge build.
How do I reduce input lag or frame drops?
Close heavy background tabs, cap refresh to 60fps, and keep your connection stable. Wired controllers offer the lowest latency.
How can I report a bug?
Submit detailsābrowser, device, and steps to reproduceāvia the contact page or the #bug-report channel on Discord.
