"Calibre 10 Racing" is a team-based racing game where two players control a single vehicle, with one player driving and the other manning a military-grade turret. The drivers must navigate various tracks at high speeds, while the shooters must take out opposing vehicles and turrets to clear a path. Success requires teamwork, communication, and quick reflexes to avoid incoming fire and make use of power-ups.
