Speed & Wheels is a limited anniversary challenge running from October 19, 2026 after maintenance through November 2 at 12:59 UTC-7. That closing boundary is November 2 at 19:59 UTC and November 3 at 04:00 in China. The official preview describes racing to the finish with Sparkla and earning Stellanite Dust, Antique Bronze Coin and more. It does not publish the physical controls, a Sparkla ownership requirement, a lap or time target, attempt limits or retry behavior.
Official Version 2.0 preview checked October 19, 2026. The page distinguishes the start, end and announced reward examples from mechanics that the preview omits. The supplied Sparkla build recording is a character-build reference and is not treated as race footage or proof of controls.

The dated event window
One deadline in three clocks
Scroll the table sideways on a narrow screen.
| Clock | Window | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| Server UTC-7 | Oct. 19 after maintenance to Nov. 2 at 12:59 | The event’s stated clock; maintenance completion supplies the exact opening moment. |
| UTC | Opening after maintenance to Nov. 2 at 19:59 | Convert from UTC-7 by adding seven hours. |
| China UTC+8 | Opening after maintenance to Nov. 3 at 04:00 | The close crosses into the next local calendar day. |
Do not assume the event already opened at midnight local time on October 19. The announcement ties the opening to maintenance. Read the live event banner and its remaining-time display after the update.
What the official preview actually promises
Confirmed announcement facts and missing mechanics
Scroll the table sideways on a narrow screen.
| Question | Published answer | Do not infer |
|---|---|---|
| What is it? | A special racing challenge; push past the speed limit and race to the finish | The full course format, vehicle physics or a combat objective |
| Who is shown? | Sparkla is named in the preview | That owning Sparkla is required for access |
| How do you steer? | Not stated | Touch, keyboard and controller bindings from a build guide |
| What counts as success? | Reach the finish in the published description | A lap count, target time, score threshold or perfect-run bonus |
| What can you earn? | Stellanite Dust, Antique Bronze Coin and more | The full reward list, exchange rate or per-run amount |
| Can you retry? | Not stated | Unlimited attempts or a universal Vigor cost |
A safe preparation route
- Update the client after maintenance and open the Speed & Wheels event card.
- Read the event tutorial and the current mission list before entering a timed attempt.
- Check whether the first screen requires a selected Trekker, supplied vehicle or only a ready button. The preview does not settle that condition.
- Finish one run and compare the result screen with the visible objective. Record the actual lap, time or score condition before spending any resources.
If Sparkla appears as a fixed event narrator or vehicle rather than an owned party member, keep those possibilities distinct. The Sparkla character page can identify her independently, but it does not establish race eligibility.
The event belongs to the same anniversary period as Tyrant’s Tower and Summit Show, but it has its own closing time. Check each banner rather than applying the login-event deadline.
Reward and result checks
The preview names Stellanite Dust and Antique Bronze Coin. It does not state whether they come from a first clear, score milestone, repeatable race or event shop. After a run, compare the displayed mission targets with the claim screen before assuming a missing payout is a bug.
- Read the visible objective before the start prompt; it is the only reliable source for the course’s win condition.
- Check the event missions after the run. A cleared course and a completed mission are separate states.
- Keep the result screen until the reward has been visibly recorded, especially if a retry prompt follows.
- Do not treat a failed or unfinished run as proof of an attempt cap; the sources publish none.
The supplied Sparkla recording cover shown on this page identifies a June 6 build guide. It was not a race recording and is not evidence for this event’s controls or scoring.
What remains unverified
This is a complete page for the announced event identity, schedule and reward scope. It is not a full route for controls, course strategy or retry optimization. Those details require a current race tutorial, live event conditions or a recording that actually shows the race. Use the in-game tutorial as the current authority until such evidence is available.
