The decision to rebrand comes as part of Turborilla's vision to make Mad Skills Rallycross more competitive in nature, aligning it with the adrenaline-fueled energy of the Mad Skills franchise, which has been installed millions of times on mobile devices across the world.

In conjunction with the rebranding and global release, Turborilla is thrilled to announce a major new collaboration with Nitrocross, the exciting rallycross series co-founded by action sports icon Travis Pastrana and produced by Thrill One Sports & Entertainment. As part of the partnership, Mad Skills Rallycross will feature in-game Nitrocross events every weekend, where players can compete on real-world tracks replicated from the actual Nitrocross series. The first in-game Nitrocross event will take place from October 3–7, and all players will be able to race it for free.

At launch, Mad Skills Rallycross will feature a highly anticipated replica of the real-world Nitrocross track from the Salt Lake City round of the series. Future rounds of the 2024 season will also be recreated in-game, offering players the chance to experience the same challenges faced by the world’s top rallycross drivers.
