Drive as an aspiring drift racer, starting with lessons in drift school before progressing through career events from local contests toward championships. Competition uses drift judging, with sponsorships and car regulations also part of career progression.
Practice and compete across different modes, including career events, online duels, TOP 32 competitions, and freeride rooms. Online events include skill-based matchmaking and a rating system, while freeride lets players drift in shared online spaces.
Build and tune cars by upgrading and adjusting parts such as the suspension, gearbox, and ECU. Tires wear and cars can sustain damage, while the game features licensed circuits including Ebisu, Fuji Speedway, and the Nürburgring Nordschleife.
Reviews are sharply divided on the driving feel: some players enjoy the handling, especially after tuning, while others find it inconsistent or disappointing, particularly with a wheel. Players also praise the detailed tuning, car damage, and tracks, while recurring complaints focus on career opponents and judging, the car-buying economy, missing livery customization, and technical problems.
A new entry in the CarX Drift Racing series features a real competition format and a judging system of modern drift championships.
The new realistic physics and tire model are a perfect fit for steering wheel setups and other game controllers. To prepare for multiplayer tournaments, you will progress from a beginner drift racer to a professional pilot, competing in world drift series.
Duels, TOP 32 and freeride in online rooms. Skill-based matchmaking and a rating system in online events for your comfortable experience.
For us, drift is primarily a sport. To launch a series of esport tournaments around the world is the primary goal of this project.
An advanced tuning system and customization. Suspension, gearbox, ECU, and other important parts of a racecar are upgradeable, tunable, and finely customizable.
The damage system adds an extra layer of realism and immersion. Losing a bumper during a close call or leaving dents in a leader’s door is now possible!
The game features laser-scanned licenced tracks: Ebisu Circuit, Fuji Speedway & Gunma Cycle Sports Center in Japan, Nürburgring Nordschleife in Germany, Dominion Raceway in USA and ADM Raceway in Russia.
You will start your drifting career in the drift school, learning the basics and mastering advanced drift control.
In Career mode, you’ll rise through the ranks - from local street contests to elite world championships. Compete in racing series, dominate championships, secure sponsorships, and fine-tune your cars to meet regulations. Most importantly, prepare yourself for the ultimate challenge - drifting online!
