Version 1.9.3 - Christmas Update and the New UI!
Sup Drifters!
It's Christmas Update time! We've got Christmas challenges, a new car, new UI, new liveries, new bodykits, new features...and so so much more! Enjoy the content, drive safe during the holidays! Merry Christmas from the Torque Drift Family!
[h3]Christmas Update![/h3]
It's the most wonderful time of the year, and Torque Drift is here to party! We've totally refabbed our already brand new Hakone, with snow, Christmas trees, decorations and unique challenges. We've got daily chase challenges with player cars, and an entire Sponsor Tree dedicated to Christmas! There are some great spots to take some photos in the snow, so slap on some snow boots and shred that mountain!
[h3]New UI![/h3]
We know PC gamers have a totally different expectation to mobile players. When we moved from Mobile to PC, we started working on completely revamping the game and restructuring the entire User Interface and User Experience to get it where you all expect it to be. We're really proud to present the culmination of this work in this new UI, which involves a new paintshop, menus, navigation, battle screens, garage, reward screens....just about everything in TD really! We hope you enjoy this beautiful new navigation system, which makes it easier to check out parts, your account, and so, so much more.
[h3]New Pro Liveries: Chelsea Denofa and Vaughn Gitten Jr 2020[/h3]
The RTR gets a facelift to celebrate their success this season. You can now drive Chelsea and Vaughn's 2020 liveries, just go to the paint shop and change them up!
[h3]Neo Samurai kits for the S13 and RX7![/h3]
We know you are keen for new bodykits, and this update we got TWO of the coolest looking kits in TD dropping. We've got a Van Halen inspired kit and a neo-oriental look to go with on the S13 and the RX7. Both are available with liveries, or paintable so you can design your own unique look!
[h3]New Tutorials![/h3]
We know drifting is tough, so we've tagged in our friend Mad Mike to help you out! Whether you're a new player or just someone looking to get back to basics, Mike will take you around Englishtown and show you donuts, clipping points and handbrake turns in this brand new tutorial!
[h3]New Car: 240Z[/h3]
If you're an active Twitch Subscriber this month, you'll be receiving a Twitch crate with a brand new Nissan 240z this update! It's a beautiful classic car that's come in the iterations of the Datsun, S30 and Fairlady, and it's a MUST HAVE collector car to get sideways. For those that aren't subscribers, the car will be available in the future, but Twitch subs will get it first! You can subscribe at https://www.twitch.tv/torquedrift
[h3]Crate Overhaul![/h3]
We took a look at the crate system in TD, talked to some players, and decided to improve the drop rates, give out better prizes, add decals to the potential rewards. In case that wasn't enough, we added a brand new explosive animation to make opening crates feel like the present it is.
Oh, and we drastically reduced the drop rate of tires. YOU'RE WELCOME!
[h3]Wheel Support and Telemetry![/h3]
Wheel mapping and force feedback improvements on PC! (You can now hook up any combination of wheels/handbrakes etc! Inc Fanatec and Thrustmaster gear). We've also added telemetry output to support Motion Simulator platforms using SimRacingStudio, so we're now one of the only fully wheel supported drift games going around! We're always talking to professional drifters when it comes to fine-tuning this, so keep an eye out on constant improvements as we take drift to wheel!
[h3]New Audio: Ambiences[/h3]
We've totally rebuilt the world of Torque Drift this update with brand new ambience on every track. You can drive past megaphones to hear commentary, the leaves rustling on the trees and the scaffolding creak in the wind on longbeach. The world is alive, so drive around and check it out!

It'll now be in the Garage and the Paintshop, with his beats and tunes to get you into the vibe of building your dream drift missile. To celebrate his new album "Aesthetic", we've got a Sponsor Tree Challenge with a bunch of challenges and some superchargers to win sweet decals, so get drifting and show him some love! We'll be hosting some photoshoot contests and more over the next few weeks, so keep an eye on our socials!
[h3]New Part: 3 Spoke Advan Wheel[/h3]
Discontinued in real life, we couldn't wait to get our hands on this GORGEOUS 3 spoke alloy for Torque Drift! It's unique, it's different, so slap it on some cars or merely add it to your collection!
[h3]New Bodykit: RX3[/h3]
Alright already! We heard you! We've had this body kit in the works since the induction of the RX3 into the game, and we're proud to announce it's finally here! Dust off that old classic in your garage, and give it new life with this THICC kit!
[h3]New Bodykit: RX8[/h3]
Another fan favourite, you've been asking, and we've been able to add in the RX8 body kit this update as well! No longer will your RX8 be a stock-boi. Get wide and get beefy with this new body kit.
[h3]New Bodykit: E92[/h3]

[h3]New Features: Photoshoots and Lookback[/h3]
We've made sure the lookback feature is an option instead of on by default, so if you're tapping away and messing up your flow, go into the menu and flick off the look back function in the controls settings. When you're in open lobbies, your car will now auto handbrake in drone made, to keep your wheels on the track to help you take that new favourite photo of yours!
