Sup Drifters!
Update 1.8.8 is now live! We’ve rebuilt our tutorial for new players, added a horn button, a flying drone, and more!
Feature: New FTUE for driving, first event, and garage.
We've added a new Tutorial to teach players how to get sideways in Torque Drift. We realise it's tricky to learn all of the driving elements that drifting requires, so we've sought out the help of accomplished drifting legends Mad Mike Whiddett, and Daijiro Yoshihara to show you around! They'll take you through the new tutorial and show you how it's done!
Feature: Lobby spectator cam now shows a drone flying around for other players!
Try out the new free-roam camera in open lobbies! Your car's collisions will turn off, enabling you to float around without causing trouble on the track! On top of this, you'll appear as a wicked FPV racing drone just like the ones you'll see on Formula Drift tracks.
Feature: Chase chase car in practice.
Always wanted to test one of your cars against another? You can now change your chase car during practice events! Simply complete a lead run with one car, then flip it out and chase it with a totally different car. You'll finally be able to work out the best car in your garage. Plus, think of the great photos!
Feature: Horn button
Wanted to signal to other drivers in open lobbies? Chirp them on the start line? We heard your recommendation and added a good ol' fashioned HONK to Torque Drift.
New HD Interiors!
We've continued the HD up-res process of our interiors, and we're proud to announce FOUR new interiors getting the polish treatment this update! We've got HD Interiors for the S15, 350Z, MM Rx7 and GTR 35
