Need for Speed Underground Rankings

New Feature in Development: Delta
Redhair is working on a new feature for the Hotlap Recorder in the NFS.onl software. With the Hotlap Recorder, players can save their best times in Free Run and Sprint mode and upload them to NFS.onl. The new feature is called Delta. Many other racing games already have this function: it shows the difference between your current run and your best run. This way you can always see exactly where you are faster or slower on the track. In the Retro Racing Point Discord, Redhair has already shared a first test version. Here you can watch a short preview of the Delta feature in a minimalistic version: https://youtu.be/DjdR0HhntOA?si=lNKKO9qCiCjd6j3u I have tested the Delta feature myself and I have to say: it is a brilliant tool for everyone who wants to improve their best times, because it is very motivating. It feels similar to the old ghost races in earlier NFS titles - racing against your own ghost - but here you are racing against your Delta time instead of a visible car. The feeling is almost the same, maybe even better. I can really recommend this to every NFSU player who loves hotlapping - you can look forward to a great feature. It is not yet clear if a new NFS.onl software version with Delta will be released soon, or if Redhair will add or improve other features first. For those who want to try the current test build, the link can be found in the RRP Discord, NFSU channel, posted by Redhair on September 11th, 2025 at 17:55.

RandomPerson joins the Free Run Leaderboard
Since yesterday, RandomPerson from Romania has completed the challenge and entered the Free Run Leaderboard. He is now 38th out of 43 players who ever qualified. To get on the leaderboard, all tracks must be driven once forward and backward and uploaded to NFS.onl. His first time was uploaded on February 5th, 2025, and after more than seven months he finished the full set. Congratulations to RandomPerson for reaching this milestone. Romania keeps building its presence in the scene - with already three Romanians in the Top 10.

Two Years of NFS.onl
Today marks exactly two years since Redhair launched the NFS.onl website. On that day, Kickstart v2.0 was released and players could upload their Free Run lap times for the first time. Since then, Sprint uploads have been added, and the community has continued to grow. Right now, 168 players from 43 countries have uploaded their times to the site. Over these two years, many small and bigger updates have been made, and the site continues to develop. A big thank you to Redhair for creating and maintaining the platform, and to every player who keeps NFS Underground alive here.

Rare NFS Underground Arcade Machine Appears in Sweden
Every now and then, something truly special surfaces for Need for Speed Underground fans. This time, it's not a new record or a player story, but a real piece of history: a Global VR NFS Underground arcade machine has just been listed for sale in Sweden. The machine is in good used condition and has even received a new motherboard to keep it running. Starting price is 448,83 EUR, with no bids so far. Of course, it's a heavy machine and must be picked up locally, but this is a rare opportunity to own the NFS Underground arcade machine. Finding one of these arcade machines today is nearly impossible, and for most NFS Underground fans, it would be a dream come true.
