Have you ever dreamed of speeding down the track, leaving your competitors in the dust, and becoming a world-renowned race car driver? In BitLife, that dream can become a (virtual) reality with the Racing Expansion Pack! Whether you want to dominate street races, compete in high-stakes tournaments, or rise to fame as a motorsport legend, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know.
Before you can even think about hitting the track, you’ll need to purchase the Racing Expansion Pack from the BitLife Marketplace. Unfortunately, there’s no free alternative—this career path is locked behind a $6.99 paywall.
Access to professional racing careers (Circuit, Demolition Derby, Street Racing).
Ability to buy race cars and garages.
Opportunity to become famous through racing achievements.
Once you’ve purchased the expansion, you’ll need two essential things:
A Car – Your ride determines what kind of races you can enter.
A Garage – Without one, you can’t store or upgrade your vehicles.
Go to Activities → Racing → Car Shop (to buy a vehicle).
Visit Activities → Racing → Garage (to purchase a garage).
| Car Type | Price Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Cheap Car | 5,000−5,000−50,000 | Street Races, Demolition Derbies (but easily wrecked) |
| Stock Car | $400,000+ | Circuit Races (better performance) |
| Formula Car | $1M+ | Professional Racing (highest speed & prestige) |
Garage Cost: Expect to spend 150,000−150,000−200,000 for a basic garage.
Pro Tip: If you’re low on cash, start with a cheap car and grind Street Races to earn money before upgrading.
Now that you have a car and garage, it’s time to hit the track!
Street Races – Illegal but high-reward. Risk getting arrested or crashing.
Demolition Derbies – Smash opponents to win. Fun but dangerous (your car may get totaled).
Circuit Races – Professional tournaments with big payouts. Requires better cars.
Train your driving skill (via the Mind & Body tab) to increase chances of winning.
Maintain your car (regular repairs prevent breakdowns mid-race).
Start small—don’t jump into high-level races with a weak car.
There are two ways to achieve fame in BitLife’s racing career:
If you own the Hollywood Star (a special item), you can activate it under the Items menu. Once you complete just one race, you’ll instantly become famous!
Pros:
Immediate access to Fame perks (endorsements, sponsorships, etc.).
No need to grind tournaments.
If you don’t have the Hollywood Star, you’ll need to win major races to build your reputation.
Enter Championship Cups (Circuit, Demolition Derby, or Street Racing).
Win 1st place multiple times to upgrade your Track Record License:
Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum
Once you reach Gold or Platinum, you’ll gain fame naturally.
Pro Tip:
Circuit Races are the easiest path to fame (if you have a good car).
Demolition Derbies are chaotic but fun—just be prepared to replace your car often.
Once you’re famous, you unlock the Fame Menu, which opens new opportunities:
Sponsorships & Endorsements (extra cash every year).
Luxury Car Deals (discounts on high-end vehicles).
Media Appearances (boosts fame further).
Keep winning races to maintain fame.
Avoid arrests (especially in Street Races).
Upgrade to faster cars to dominate higher-tier races.
✅ Start with Street Races if you’re broke, then upgrade.
✅ Save money before buying expensive cars—repairs are costly!
✅ Train your Driving Skill for better race performance.
✅ Use the Hollywood Star if you want instant fame.
✅ Avoid reckless behavior (like street racing while drunk) to prevent crashes or arrests.
With the right strategy, you can go from a rookie street racer to a globally celebrated motorsport champion. Whether you choose the fast-track fame method (Hollywood Star) or the hard-earned path (winning championships), the key is persistence, smart investments, and a need for speed!
