Friends

A while back in 2014, the developers introduced to the game a feature called 'Friends.' With this feature one can send friend requests to other players or accept friend requests sent by other people. Currently the maximum number of friends one can have is 30, but this may change.
== Adding Friends ==
You can add friends by going to either your profile page or another user's and then clicking on the 'Friends' tab to the right of 'Created Tracks' underneath the user's statistics. Then you simply type in the name of the player whom you want to send a friend request to, which will appear as you type more and more letters in and then click the '+' sign to the right of the box to send the request. Once the player to whom you sent the request sees it and accepts it then you will appear on each others friends list and can access the full functionalities of friends in gameplay. 
Reasons a friend request may not work:
* If the user already has 30 friends, which is the maximum you will be unable to send a friend request
* If you already have 30 friends you will be unable to send any friend requests
* If the user to whom you are sending the request declines it
== Challenging Friends ==
Another new feature that came along with friends is Challenges. With this feature one can challenge his/her friends to race with him/her on a track. One can also write a message along with the challenge.
The picture on the right shows the friends leaderboard where one can click a button that allows him/her to challenge his/her friends.
