Every pass is worth your speed multiplier times how close you were: grey, purple, blue, green, pink, then orange for the tightest. The combo grows by each pass and points grow with the combo. Cuts across a new lane pair fill the four aggro bars, which boost every pass; repeating the same pair drains them. Stay above 80 km/h: after 3 seconds below it the streak resets. In free roam a crash banks the streak. A 3:00 run gives you three lives.
