Drift Racing
Arcade · Drift a neon street circuit at night, boost and race seven rivals.
Play Drift Racing free online: eight cars, two laps of Midnight Circuit, a neon street track at night, seen in 3D from behind your car. Slide through the bends to score drift points and fill your Nitro, boost on the straights, and keep off the walls and the other cars, because every hit costs you speed and your combo. Race Hops and six rivals on Easy, Medium or Hard, on your phone or computer.

How to play
- On a phone the gas is automatic: steer with the arrow buttons. On a computer use ↑ for gas, ↓ to brake and ← → to steer.
- Hold Drift (Space on a computer) as you turn into a bend and keep steering into it: the rear steps out and the car slides through. Let go and straighten up to grip again.
- Drifting scores points: a bigger angle and more speed score more, and the multiplier climbs the longer you hold the slide. The points are banked when the drift ends.
- Drifting also fills your Nitro. Tap Boost (Shift) on a straight for a burst of speed.
- Walls and other cars have consequences: a hit costs speed, a hard one spins you and wipes the combo you were building, and a bump in the rear can turn a rival round. The puddles on two corners have less grip, and the run-off beside the road is slow and slippery. Finish two laps first to win.
Tips to win
- Turn in a little early, tap Drift, then steer into the slide. Too much angle scrubs speed; a steady 30 to 40 degrees is fastest.
- Save Nitro for the long start straight and the exits of the hairpin, where the boost lasts longest.
- Pass on the inside of a bend. Bumping a rival in the rear corner spins them, but a hard hit wipes your combo too.
- Learning? Press Teach me: Hops calls the bends and tells you when to drift and when to boost. Coached races are practice, so they don't go on the leaderboard.
Questions
How do you drift in Drift Racing?
Hold Drift (Space on a computer) as you turn into a bend and keep steering into the turn. The rear of the car slides out; keep the gas on and steer to hold the angle, then let go of Drift and straighten to grip again.
What does Nitro do?
Nitro gives you a burst of speed. It fills while you drift, so the more you slide, the more boost you have. Tap Boost (Shift) on a straight; it runs out after a few seconds.
What happens if I crash?
Hitting a wall costs speed in proportion to how hard you hit it, and a hard or angled hit spins the car, spills some Nitro and wipes the drift combo you were building. Cars bump each other too: a push from behind shoves the car in front, and a hit on the rear corner can spin it.
