With the right combination, you’ll be able to play to your strengths as a racer and sprint towards the finish flag. Which combination of Active and Passive Cores are you eyeing up? More Power Cores will be added to Turbo Golf Racing in the future as free content updates, alongside new Seasons, cosmetic items, and even full courses. See you on the starting line, Team Hugecalf
