'''[[Race Event]]''' focuses on sending and defeating all Rounds as fast as possible while not losing. Therefore, enormous clumps of Bloons face the defense in all stages. Due to that, most towers that work well in regular gameplay will not work in Race Events, requiring a complete overhaul of the player's strategy to be specifically tailored to defeating large clumps of Bloons and blimps. | '''[[Race Event]]''' focuses on sending and defeating all Rounds as fast as possible while not losing.

|The base Mortar Monkey, with its 25 pierce and 2 damage, excels at grouped popping power for its cost. Target it initially at the entrance to immediately accumulate pops and earn cash, and move it back as clumped Bloons slowly go through the track. Upgrading to 1-0-0 is nearly always recommended, as it improves the pierce by 1.8x, and if desired, the Mortar can be upgraded up to 2-3-0 into the mid-game. | |The base Mortar Monkey, with its 25 pierce and 2 damage, excels at grouped popping power for its cost.

|The 22-pierce shots of the base Bomb Shooter, while only being 1 damage, are significantly faster and obtainable for a cheaper cost, making its efficiency roughly on par with the base Mortar. Two of them can be immediately placed with More Cash, and they are the most useful when placed near the entrance to immediately pop Bloons and generate money. The Tier 1 and 2 Bomb Shooter upgrades are not worth their costs, so unless {{B|Cluster Bombs|BTD6}} or {{B|Really Big Bombs|BTD6}} is desired, it is recommended to not upgrade the Bomb Shooter. | |||

|Bloon Trap is useful for cleaning rounds ending with a Ceramic or below, most notably Round 48 if Deadly Precision is banned, and XXXL trap is recommended for Races that end in higher rounds due to Bloon Trap's limited capacity. Crosspathing with {{B|Larger Service Area|BTD6}} is recommended to target the trap at the entrance to instantly capture the last Bloon. | |||
