The world is your canvas

Start from the bottom, work your way up
To get to the top, you have to take risks.

Time is money, so find the fastest way to earn enough to qualify for the weekly qualifiers and make it to Lakeshore’s biggest race, the Grand.
Rule the streets
The more races you compete in, the more alert you become. With the cops closing in on you, you must make tactical decisions using new escape strategies to gain control of the chase. Will you lose them, crash into them, or hide in the underground Lakeshore? Own the streets and reap the rewards.
Express yourself to the best of your ability
Head to a match and show off your unique style with hundreds of cosmetic items, including exclusive items from some of the world's most cutting-edge fashion innovators. Find the perfect look for your ride, too, by transforming your rides with wraps and original parts for extreme, legendary customization. And when you take first place, don't forget to show off to your opponents by striking your own signature victory poses.
Find freedom in the flow
Discover artists at the forefront of hip hop and their global interpretations with a genre-defying soundtrack led by A$AP Rocky and AWGE. Channeling world-class hip hop, the original score was composed by Brodinski, the innovative French producer who bridged the gap between the European techno scene and Atlanta’s trap scene to embody the underground culture that runs through Lakeshore’s soul.
