Drift Races

Overview

Drift Races are a race type introduced with the 1.68 The Chop Shop update on December 12, 2023. Three more courses followed during Drift Racing Week on February 6, 2025. They support 1 to 8 players, and only vehicles converted to a Drift Tune are allowed. Ten races appear in the Races list with a "Drift Race" prefix, such as *A Hill To Die On*: eight lap races and two point-to-point courses.

How it works

• Points build up while drifting. The rate depends on speed and drift angle, and a multiplier climbs in steps of 0.5x from 1.0x up to 5.0x as the player keeps drifting.
• Straightening up for more than a second ends the drift and banks its points. Hitting an obstacle resets the multiplier, and a heavy crash also loses the unbanked points.
• Each car reset costs points, starting at 1,000 and growing by another 1,000 every time.
• Drifting past the blue pillars on corners gives a 1,000-point Precision Drift bonus. Green-glowing sections offer a harder line that builds points and the multiplier faster.
• Banked drifts are graded from Good Drift through Super, Mega and Ultra to Drift King. Anything over 500,000 earns Drift God.
• The optional Finishing Multiplier gives first place a bonus of 5%, 25% or 50% of their points, depending on the setting.

Tips

• Link short drifts into long chains instead of chasing one big slide. A minor bump keeps your points, but a big crash wipes them.
• Take the green sections when you can control the car there.
• Avoid resets, since the penalty keeps growing.

Rewards and unlocks

• Requires a vehicle with a Drift Tune conversion.
• Ten courses are available, including three added in February 2025.
