Vroom Vroom!!

NBA 2K25‘s MyCareer mode might be all about hooping, but there are a few racing elements as well, and for that, you’ll need to get your own Go-Kart.

Like all available transport equipment, the Go-Kart is mighty helpful when you’re traveling from one corner of The City to the next. But that’s not all, since you can participate in actual races and also earn a lot of VC for free. Let’s take a look at the entire process of obtaining the kart at first and where you can trigger the race.

How to get the Go-Kart in NBA 2K25?

You can buy Go-Kart models inside MyCareer, but they cost a lot of VC. Moreover, I would definitely use my VC elsewhere rather than get something that just saves a few seconds. However, this particular Go-Kart in discussion can be unlocked for free, and it has Gatorade livery all over it.

  • Complete the NBA Debut quest. This is automatically completed after you speak with your coach following your first NBA game.
  • Complete the Great Expectations and Heart of a Dynasty: Club Game quests. Both are part of the main questline but take more time than the NBA Debut quest.

Once all these three main quests are complete, you’ll get a notification inside the game about the beginning of the Gatorade Go-Kart challenge. Track the quest, and you’ll be guided to the racing compound (located in the building located to the immediate right of the Arena building).

First, getting the free Go-Kart saves you 100,000 VC (which is the cost of buying it separately). Every week, you’ll get a racing quest where you’ll need to finish the race within a time limit. If you manage to do that successfully, you’ll win 2,500 VC. This is especially beneficial if you’re just getting started with a new MyCareer build.

If you manage to be the fastest racer of the week, you’ll end up winning 1 million VCs. Of course, the odds of that happening for most of us are next to none, but that’s another potential way to earn a lot of VC. For me, the weekly income of 2,500 VCs is pretty nice.
