How it works

01
Same puzzle for everyone
The rounds are picked from the UTC date, so every reader gets the same six. A new puzzle drops at 00:00 UTC.
02
Like for like
Top speed meets top speed across categories. Sprint times, Nürburgring laps, orbits and winds only meet their own list.
03
Never a coin toss
Every pair clears a real gap: at least 8% on top speed, 3% on a Nordschleife lap, 1.5% in a sprint.
04
Fresh every day
An entry sits out for 7 days after it plays, and the same two never meet again for months.

6 rounds, figures from published rankings only. Your streak stays in this browser.
