Hello Racers,

During the recent Moonhill Finale Event, there was an issue with the challenge "Finish 10 races in 1st place when matchmade". The challenge was incorrectly displayed as "Win 10 races in any game mode" within the game.

Reward Distribution Details:

• Target: Racers who completed "Win 10 races in any game mode" during the Moonhill Finale Event but did not receive the rewards
  • Squad race counts the number of team victories regardless of finishing the race, and Solo race counts Racers who finished within the top 3.
• Rewards: See below
• Distribution Date: After the RISE maintenance ends on Feb. 15 (UTC)

Rewards:

• 100 Mission Points: RP/Lucci 100% Bonus Ticket (15 Days)
  • RP/Lucci 100% Bonus Tickets boosts the amount of RP and Lucci awarded from races.
