## Gameplay

See also: Gear.Club: Unlimited 2

The overall gameplay and controls is the same as Gear.Club Unlimited 2. However, being a simulation game, Tracks Edition will have pit stops, tires, fuel, and racing strategies.

Specifically, the game features grand touring and endurance racing. Players will be able to race in the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance competition which can be accessed from the Gear.Club map. There are five new tracks for endurance racing: Circuit de la Sarthe (home of the Le Mans race), Henry Autodrome, Valras Circuit, Neva Driving Park, and Kourou Sports Park. Tracks Edition has separate campaign, allowing players to both play through the new Tracks Editon campaign as well as the standard Unlimited 2 story.
Races in the new Endurance Series can be up to 10 laps long. The player will have to take periodical pit stops to refuel and replace tires with either soft or hard tires. Soft tires increase car performance, but don't last long. Hard tires aren't as smooth but last much longer. How many pit stops and how aggressive they race is entirely up to the player, and their decisions are key to winning the race.

If the player completes the campaign, they will unlock the Ford GT40, a famous racecar and the winner of the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans and new races for it. The player can still return to the endurance campaign if they so wish.

### Multiplayer

Just like in Unlimited 2, players can race in real time on the new circuits through online multiplayer, or on a 4-player splitscreen.

* Over 50 different cars and their special editions
