One of the most important part of your Kart setup is your driver. In fact, Driver is the third contributor of your kart setups **Speed** and other factors. Kart and Engine are the main ones. Every race in MoonKarts™ begins not just with your kart, but with the driver you choose. According to the official whitepaper, drivers are unique NFT characters that grant specific stat bonuses—impacting Speed, Acceleration, Handling, and Health—and shape your entire racing style.

Allow me to list down all of the possible drivers we have right now in the game and how they are useful in your setup. When the Alpha Centauri packs launched, eight drivers made their debut. Each possesses visual flair and strategic benefits:

- Blaze, the “Speed Demon,” offers a +3% Speed, +2% Handling, +2% Health, but sacrifices –1% Acceleration—perfect for straight‑line specialists
- Aurora, the acrobat, trades a bit of Speed for +3% Handling, +2% Health, and +2% Acceleration—fluent cornering is her forte
- Spark is flashy and unpredictable, giving +2% Speed, +2% Acceleration, and +3% Health, but with –1% Handling, best suited to risk‑takers
- Surge charges races with electric bursts: +2% Handling, +2% Speed, +2% Health, and –1% Acceleration, built for strategic comebacks

- Drift dominates corners: +2% Speed, +2% Acceleration, +3% Health, but –1% Handling—ideal for expert drifters
- Blaster plays aggressive: +3% Speed, +2% Handling, +2% Health, offset by –1% Acceleration, made for players who want to disrupt others
- Rumble relies on brute strength: +3% Health, +3% Handling, +2% Acceleration, with –1% Speed, designed for durability and dominance
- Titan is the tank: +3% Health, +2% Handling, +2% Acceleration, –1% Speed, built to absorb hits and endure long races

Together, these drivers let players express a preferred playstyle—from straight‑line blitz to graceful cornering to downright brute force. Choosing the right driver can turn a balanced kart into a competitive weapon when paired with tech cards and accessories, whose stats stack with the driver’s base boosts
