Get ready to hit the icy tracks! Frost Racing Season begins on February 1st at 9 AM PT and runs until March 12th at 9 AM PT, with the Finals set for Friday, March 14th, at 11:30 AM PT. As the competition heats up in the winter chill, we’re making some key changes to ensure an exciting and streamlined racing experience.
What’s New
We’re simplifying things this season! All racing (except for Championship Circuit racing) is now consolidated into a single leaderboard: Recreational Racing (90–160 MPS). This means fewer divisions and more intense competition, so bring your A-game.
Our goal with this change is to get more players into racing by creating a more active and competitive environment. As participation grows, we plan to expand the number of divisions in future seasons to ensure a balanced and engaging experience for all racers.
This is an adjustment that we’ll be closely monitoring throughout the season, and we’ll make further refinements as needed to ensure the best racing experience for everyone.
The Upland Championship Circuit (175–240 MPS) remains untouched, keeping the ultimate racing battleground intact for our top competitors. If you’re gunning for a spot in the Genesis Week Finals, you’ll want to make every race count.
Note: Racers may only appear in the top 12 on one leaderboard. Players who place in the top 12 on multiple leaderboards will only receive prizes from their highest-ranking leaderboard and will be removed from all others.
Frost Season Overview
The Frost Racing Season is packed with action, from multiplayer races to leaderboard battles and high-stakes finishes.
Start Date: Saturday, February 1st, 9 AM PT
Leaderboards Close: Wednesday, March 12th, 9 AM PT
Finals: Friday, March 14th, 11:30 AM PT
The top 12 racers from the Championship Circuit (175–240 MPS) will advance to the semi-finals and finals, where only one will emerge victorious.
Congratulations to everyone currently on the Championship Circuit leaderboard. The current standings are as follows:
Power Ups and MPS
This Frost season, Power-ups will be fully integrated into your Max Performance Score (MPS) and live on day 1. These boosts add layers of strategy, allowing you to customize your approach and dominate the track.
With MPS limits, the choice will be yours on how to approach a race. Do you go full throttle with a high-performance car or select a lower MPS vehicle to make room for power ups? This balance between raw power and tactical finesse ensures that every race is a thrilling and strategic challenge.
MPS Leaderboards
The Frost Season Leaderboards are designed to create thrilling competition for racers of all skill levels, whether you’re chasing championship glory or battling it out in recreational races.
- 175–240 (Upland Championship Circuit)
- 90–160 (Recreational Racing)
Remember, only public multiplayer races with at least three real players and a qualifying lap will earn you leaderboard points.
The Point System
Players will only be able to gain points on each of the leaderboards by participating in public multiplayer races with stakes. Only public races with qualifying laps will count towards points on the leaderboards. Below is how you earn points throughout the Frost Season for each of the leaderboards.
Only public races involving three or more real-life participants will be eligible for points during the season. The more players your race against, the more points you get.
- Race against 2 other real players: +1 point
- Race against 3 other real players: +3 points
- Race against 4 other real players: +5 points
- Race against 5 other real players: +10 points
Points for Staking
For staking points, the more you stake, the more you can win, with points awarded to the top three finishers in each race. There are 4 levels of race for stakes players can choose from to earn points during the season.
1,500 UPX Staked Per Player
- 1st Place: 5 points
- 2nd Place: 3 points
- 3rd Place: 2 points
5,000 UPX Staked Per Player
- 1st Place: 15 points
- 2nd Place: 11 points
- 3rd Place: 7 points
10,000 UPX Staked Per Player

- 3rd Place: 12 points
15,000 UPX Staked Per Player
- 1st Place: 50 points
- 2nd Place: 30 points
- 3rd Place: 20 points
Again, only public races with stakes with at least 3 or more real players that include a qualifying lap will be eligible for leaderboard points. Races outside these amounts won’t qualify for multiplayer or staking points. Additionally, all community fees will be added to the prize pool for the leaderboard victors.
Leaderboards will close on Wednesday, March 12th, at 9 AM PT, with the leading 12 racers on each leaderboard being awarded prizes.
The top 12 from the Championship Series leaderboard (176–240 MPS) will advance to the finals on Friday, March 14th, at 11:30 AM PT. This round will feature two semi-final races followed by a final race to determine the winners.
These top performers will earn points for the Upland Championship Circuit leaderboard and will help determine who will participate in the Champions Circuit Finals during Genesis Week 2025 (more details below).
Each season’s finals will unfold at an iconic Upland monument, this season the Frost Season Lusail Race Track Monument Speedway in Qatar will host the finals. The Ultimate Racing League will host and broadcast the finals, showcasing the pinnacle of Upland’s racing landscape.
Rules for Finals

Prizes
The top 12 racers in each leaderboard will receive prizes, with special unique badges for Championship Series (176–240 MPS) top three finishers. These rewards not only recognize achievement but also fuel the competitive spirit of Upland’s racing community. Both the badges and Block Explorers will count toward your Seasonal Collector’s Score, helping you build your collection and showcase your achievements.
Remember, racers may only appear in the top 12 on one leaderboard. Players who place in the top 12 on multiple leaderboards will only receive prizes from their highest-ranking leaderboard and will be removed from all others.
We’re updating racing badges to make them more consistent and identifiable! Going forward, all racing badges will feature a standard gear shift emblem without the year. Instead, your badge will display an increasing number for each top 3 finish you earn, showcasing your dedication and success as a racer in Upland.
To maintain consistency, all previous racing badges will be replaced with this new design. Get ready to build your legacy on the track!
