Danach baut man seine beiden Autos. Für die 3 Runden des Rennens kann man 14 Konstruktionspunkte verteilen. Hat man 14 Punkte verteilt, darf man auf den Startknopf klicken. Solange man hier noch nicht klicken kann, darf man seine Konstruktion noch verändern. Erst wenn die Flagge verschwindet und die Ampel erscheint, können keine Punkte mehr vergeben werden. Das erste Auto ist fertig gebaut. Durch Wischen gelangt man zu Fahrer 2 oder zur Teamübersicht. In der Teamübersicht kann man ebenfalls Konstruktionspunkte verteilen, indem man rechts neben den letzten Kreis (+) oder auf den letzten Kreis (-) klickt. Klickt man auf den Helm des jeweiligen Fahrers, werden die Punkte für den anderen Fahrer übernommen.
