DRIFT ZONE EVENTS
Drift your way to the top of the leaderboard in style by achieving the highest drift score in a single lap. Drift Score is based on speed, angle, and duration of each drift and must be successfully “banked” to count. Too much rotation, leaving the track, or collisions can interrupt a Drift Score. Rewind will invalidate or “dirty” a Drift Score. With Update 21, we’ve added 8 permanent Drift Rivals events.
