Pod Racers rewards
There are loads of rewards that can be won in Pod Racers, but the one everyone will be shooting for is the first prize in the championship. This is determined by how many medals your team has won at the end. Medals are given for your teams placing at the end of a race, and there are three races in total in this event. One per day with the final race being for double points.
Here is the rewards table for the championship, as this is very early in the season the rewards are less than the previous events Wild sticker, but a Purple sticker pack will get you off to a great start and there are some very desirable board items to claim. Positions are determined by a team’s medal score at the end of all three races. Everyone in the team gets the same reward.
Team Championship Rewards
- First place: Purple sticker pack, Jabba the Hutt Board Token and Pit Droid Shield
- Second place – Blue sticker pack, pink sticker pack and Pit Droid Shield
- Third place – Pink sticker pack, Yellow sticker pack, and Pit Droid Shield

Solo Championship Rewards
There will be a reduced set of rewards similar to the above if you choose to place the event Solo. We will add these once they are confirmed. Solo rewards usually include the board token for first place but the packs are generally not as good.
First place team rewards and solo rewards
Lap Rewards
There are also more than the rewards above to be won. As you play through races and complete laps, after a certain number of laps your team will unlock milestone rewards where you’ll be given a series of rewards to select from which include sticker packs, dice, flags and more.
Lap rewards are given out after lap one, after two more laps, after five more laps, and after ten more laps, with the rewards getting increasingly better as you get further. The rewards continue with another reward after every 10 laps. For each of the lap rewards you’ll be given a choice of rewards to pick from, flags are usually there, if you need some more for your team.
Lucky Rockets
Lucky Rockets sometimes appear in Tycoon Racer events. These can be won in some lap milestones in the racer event. Check out this page, Lucky Rocket strategy for our best tips on how to use this valuable boost. Be sure not to waste any Lucky Rockets as using these efficiently can be the difference between winning a losing races.
How to play Pod Racers
Basically you need to team up with three other players, or choose to race solo, collect flags and compete against three other teams with the aim to get the most points and win the race. The event is split into four stages as follows:
Team-up Stage
In this initial stage you have 25 hours to get into a team. Further down there is a more in/depth explanation of how to build your team in City Racers, but basically it is similar to other partner events where you can send invites and they can be sent to you. The biggest difference is that if someone you want to play with is already a part of a team, then if you want to play with that person, you’ll also be playing with their team mates too. The other big difference is that you can leave a team too, but only before the start of the first race. You cannot boot a person from a team though.
- You’ll also be able to start collecting flags which is the event item that you’ll need to score points in this event. More on this below.
- Matchmaking StageAt this point you just have to wait for the matchmaking process to complete. Your team will be matched up with other teams of more or less a similar skill level. The game will consider everyone’s net worth in the game and will match based on that to try to make it as fair as possible.
Race Stage
Next we reach the race stage. For the remainder of the tournament there is a new race every day. There will be three races in total, one per day, with the most important one being the final race because it will yield double medals, which will be important for you team’s final placement in the championship.
It’s at this point you can start to use the flags you’ve collected so far, you’ll still be able to collect more flags as the event continues, we explain all the ways to get flags in detail further down the page. To get started in the race stage, hit the event icon, then choose your multiplier and start rolling for event points.
The points you get will drive your car around the course. Complete laps and the race as a team to win rewards which could include; sticker packs, dice, flags, flash boosts or money.
To get started in this part of the event, choose your multiplier then hit the big dice popper. You’ll move your car according to the number of dice that you threw, multiplied by the multiplier and also increased if you throw a double or a triple.
The points you get determine how far your car moves, complete laps and you’ll get those lap milestone rewards whenever you team car completed 1,2,5 and 10 laps. Your team only has one car so all of your points work together to get through the laps and the race.
At the end of each race your team gets medals depending on your team’s classification at the end of each race. Medals go towards your medal points total at the end of the event to decide which team gets which final reward.
Medals are distributed to the teams as follows:
| Race Position | Team Reward |
|---|---|
| 1st | 10 medals |
| 2nd | 8 medals |
| 3rd | 7 medals |
| 4th | 5 medals |
In the final race of a championship, medal rewards are doubled, so do make sure you save a lot of flags for that last race.
- Championship StageAfter all of the races have been completed, the team with the most medals at the end wins a grand prize, as listed above.
