[edit] Overview

The game is about touge racing, which rely on drift skills made popular in the western culture during the 2000s by Initial D, and is divided in daytime and nighttime. The player buy a used or new stock car, tune it with aero and engine parts, get sponsorship and challenge other racers in nocturnal illegal gambling touge racing or perform downhill / uphill time attack in daytime. Available cars become more and more powerful from the basic K-car, minitruck, 1600cc compact to the 3000cc sports car, and ultimately the D1 GP, JWRC or WRC performance car. Vehicle list features licensed Japanese and European import cars.

[edit] Game modes

  • Conquest Mode: a feature similar to the Shutokou Battle series' "Quest Mode" with a story and several rivals and bosses to beat.
  • Record Challenge: resembles an "Arcade Race" or "Quick Race" mode. It allow quick tune of used, new or specia lcars with the "Custom Factory" feature. The player can also use his "Conquest Mode"'s tuned car.
  • Record Tour: a rally oriented "Time Attack" with different classes, variable weather and time conditions. "Group R" is for World Rally Championship, "Group J" is for Junior World Rally Championship (Super 1600), "Group A" s for road version of WRC cars, "Group B" is for road version of All Japan Rally Championship cars.
  • VS Mode: a 2-player split screen versus mode.
  • Replay Theater: basically allows to watch saved replay files.

Challenges have different rules from the "SP" (the "Split Point" principle used in the Shutokou Battle series and in Wangan Midnight), "CA" ("Cornering Artist", the drifting skills much like in the D1 Grand Prix games) and "TA" ("Time Attack", the classic time record).

Passwords include the player's name, car grade, selected course and lap time. They are used as an entry in the official Internet ranking board.
