What's up, drivers! Meet the first major update!

We’ve prepared a new location and a night mode for Kami Road for you, as well as the 'drift show'career events in the alpha-test branch.

But before we get to the details, let us remind you that right now the game is on sale during the Summer Sale!

New Location - Gunma Cycle Sport Center

A popular Japanese track in car culture. A narrow forest circuit with dangerous corners and steep elevation changes - the perfect place to test your skills!

Night Mode for Kami Road Location

Alpha-test Branch

Added a new event type in Career - DRIFT SHOW! Simple race events with several tasks and no time limits

Steam post image Known issues:

  • Tasks will not count as completed if you exit via the pause menu — for now, you need to drive into the exit zone for everything to be processed correctly!

  • At Kami Road event the exit is on the top of the touge;

  • Career progression points are not configured for these events

  • Incorrect display of rewards in the preview

  • Receiving harder tricks does not count for the tasks requiring easier tricks, example: if it asks for "big angle", getting "huge angle" will not complete it

  • Big Angle - 55°, >0.5 sec

  • Huge Angle - 70°, >0.5 sec

  • Backward - 90°, >0.2 sec, drift afterwards for at least 1 sec, angle afterwards >20°

  • Mega Backward - 90°, >1.3 sec, drift afterwards for at least 2 sec, angle afterwards >45°

  • Quick Transition - 5°/sec angular speed

  • Very Quick Transition - 30°/sec angular speed

  • Jump - 0.1 sec air time, 0,01 m height

  • High Jump - 1 sec air time, 0,025 m height

  • 360 - minimal speed 20 km/h, do 360° turn and keep drifting for at least 0.7 sec
