The Drill to Earth's Core Racer class is a Tier 2 class for whoever drives the drill. It costs 3,000 Cores in the lobby's class shop and starts every run with Racer armor. On the class tier list it sits in D tier, from the one list that ranks it (Sportskeeda).
110,728 players held its Roblox class badge on 5 October 2026, the third-most of the 26 classes. That makes it one of the most owned classes. The classes hub compares all 26 side by side.

Drill to Earth's Core Racer Levels and Perks
| Level | Perk | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | +50% drive speed and acceleration while you drive | Buy the class (3,000 Cores) |
| 2 | Drive Speed, Power Drive and Engine Overdrive upgrades cost 50% less | Not listed by a source yet |
| 3 | Under 50% fuel, the driver gets +100% drive speed and acceleration | Not listed by a source yet |
| 4 | Unlocks the Engine Overdrive III upgrade for the team | Not listed by a source yet |
The perks are paraphrased from allthings.how's class list (24 September). Requirements come only from a dated or named source, shown after each one; Fandom's older class table predates several balance patches, so check the class menu in the lobby before you grind.
The Level 4 perk works for the whole team, not only you.
How to Unlock Racer
Classes are bought with Cores at the class shop in the lobby. Sportskeeda and Deltia's Gaming say the shop restocks every 12 hours and Deltia's Gaming says the stock is random, so Racer may not be for sale when you look. Check back after the next restock.
Every Tier 2 class costs 3,000 Cores: Scout, Healer, Mechanic and Witch cost the same. Cores come from chests, boss walls, badges and codes; how to get Cores lists every source, and the code GAMENAME on the codes page gives 500 Cores.
Once you own more than one class, Fandom's Classes page says 2,500 Cores roll a random passive from another class you own onto the one you play.
Drive Speed, Power Drive and Engine Overdrive are explained on the drill upgrades page, which also has an upgrade cost calculator.
Racer Patch Changes and Source Notes
- The 29 August patch notes say the Racer and Driller passives were reworded to make them clearer, without new numbers.
