Race Event

Line 11:

== Mechanics ==

Race Events may appear on different maps of any difficulty every week, although [[Expert]] maps appear less often, with the two most difficult maps, [[Bloody Puddles]] and [[Ravine]], having never been used. The entry cost is free for the 1st race attempt. After each attempt, the cost becomes {{BTD6 mm|100}} ({{BTD6 mm|90}} with {{BTD6 mk|Grand Prix Spree}}, very occasionally less) for entry for 3 hours before becoming free again. One [[Race Pass]] can be used to make all future attempts in the current Race Event free, and the usage of Race Pass is forced if the player has one and starts an attempt while the race's 3 hour free-cost timer is still undergoing cooldown. Backing out of the game will wipe the save for the current attempt.

Backing out of the game will wipe the save for the current attempt. There is also a delay of 0.2s minimum between sending rounds, thus auto-clicking does not send out rounds faster. At the start of the game and after each pause, for the next 25 seconds, a red pie will be on the gear at the top-right. When the red pie is present, pausing again will result in a 2 second penalty, and the penalty increases by 1 second for each subsequent pause while the pie is present until the pie disappears completely. Viewing the upgrades of Towers or the Hero counts as pausing as well.

=== Ruleset ===

The following is the usual ruleset for Race Events, which can change week by week. In addition, only 1 [[Hero]] is usually allowed and [[Banana Farm (BTD6)|Banana Farm]] is banned in almost all cases. Additional tower restrictions are present for most races as well.

High-pierce towers gain great importance in Race Events, due to the large clumps of Bloons often present due to sending out many rounds at once. Due to the competitive nature of Race Events, it is recommended to have near-full Monkey Knowledge if a high ranking is desired. Leaking some lives in the early game virtually required in almost every race for a top time, so it is not something to worry about. It is also recommended to plan the strategy ahead of time to avoid the penalty that comes from the need to pause frequently to plot the next part of the strategy.
