  • New locations - drive through the mountainous Guntama prefecture, inspired by real-life areas. Practice your drift skills in the Tengai forest, visit households of the main cast, and much more,
  • Exciting and challenging events - story-driven grip and drift events await Hatori and his friends,
    Fresh UI and smartphone system: read messages from NPCs, follow the quest log and map routes,
  • Meticulously crafted car models - ride and test various vehicles on the test course and challenge yourself to get the best drift or grip scores.
