December 18, 2025 Patch Notes

2025.12.18

Dear Driver,

Rev up for a hotfix! To ensure top-notch server stability and service quality, we're implementing a quick tune-up for Racing Master on 9:00 AM (UTC+8) on December 18, 2025. Estimated pit stop time is 2 hours, but this is subject to changes.

[Maintenance Time] 9:00 AM (UTC+8) on December 18, 2025

[Maintenance Duration] 2 hr

[Maintenance Method] Hotfix

What's coming your way after the maintenance:

【SEASON】

1. 2025 Season 6 "Mayhem Series" will end on December 18, and the new 2025 Season 7 season "Taste Drive" will begin!

1) Based on the current score of the driver's cars, the scores will be automatically reset to the corresponding initial scores for the new season.

Racing Master and above:

Cars with 1,200 or more points will be reset to 1,200 points.

Cars with 0-1,200 points will not be reset.

Champion Driver:

Cars with 1,200 or more points will have their score reduced by 200 after the reset, with a minimum of 1,200 points.

Cars with 0-1,199 points will not be reset.

Ace Driver:

Cars with 1,000 or more points will have their score reduced by 200 after the reset, with a minimum of 1,000 points.

Cars with 0-999 points will not be reset.

Veteran Driver:

Cars with 850 or more points will have their score reduced by 150 after the reset, with a minimum of 850 points.

Cars with 0-849 points will not be reset.

Proficient Driver and below:

Cars with 700 or more points will have their score reduced by 100 after the reset, with a minimum of 700 points.

Cars with 0-699 points will not be reset.

2) For cars that still have 1,200 or more points after the reset, the single cup score = (last season's Car RP - reset deduction) / 5, rounded down.

3) For new drivers in Class 1, if they do not reach Ace Driver 1 by the end of the first season, their first season Car RPs will not be reset.

2. New Track Cup mechanic added to Normal Ranked Races:

1) For players above 1,200 RP, the New Track Cup mechanic will unlock for each car when encountering a new track for the first time in a race.

2) The New Track Cup only records the highest RP achieved by that car on all new tracks and does not enter the rotation cycle of the five Normal Hall Cups.

3) When the New Track Cup RP is higher than the lowest RP among the car's current five Normal Hall Cups, it will replace that lowest cup and be included in the Car RP calculation.

3. 2025 Season 7 Limited Ranked Race - Knockout Mode is open for a limited time:

1) Knockout Mode is a solo ranked race that allows drivers to team up for matches, but the in-game rules follow solo ranked race rules.

2) Each round of Knockout Ranked Race will consist of a 32-player elimination, a 16-player elimination, and an 8-player final. The top 50% of drivers in each match will promote to the next round.

3) Considering the driving perspective experience in Knockout Ranked Race, each driver will be limited to seeing only 7 opponents' cars. The remaining participants will be displayed as driver cards.

4) Knockout Mode can count towards Ranked Race RP. The rank score will be calculated based on Knockout Mode rules (see in-game rules for details), and other scoring items are the same as solo Ranked Race.

4. The 2025 Season 7 theme event "The Master's Table" is now live!

Event Time: After maintenance on December 18, 2025 - 5:00 AM on February 5, 2026

1) Participate in Ranked Race/Map Studio/Cruise related events daily to get restaurant materials. Use your creativity to earn high profits and upgrade your restaurant level.

2) A group of customers will visit the restaurant daily. Fulfill their requests to get likes and star-up qualifications, thereby generating higher profit bonuses for the restaurant.

3) Cook different dishes according to demand. Materials are divided into main ingredients and side ingredients. Main ingredients determine the profit of the dish, while side ingredients can provide profit bonuses and determine the taste.

4) By upgrading the restaurant level, you can get rich rewards such as the Fiat 500F '65, car tail decorations, a massive amount of Diamonds, and event-exclusive decals.

4) The above adjustments will take effect after the December 18 update. Please complete this week's weekly missions in time.

2. The weekly activity missions have been updated with a new [Recommended Missions] tab, where you can now easil

y see the missions that grant a large amount of activity rewards.

Disconnection protection has been upgraded to a reputation protection mechanic: Reputation protection will protect the scores of players who perform well in abnormal races (quitting or disconnecting). Continuously triggering abnormal races will lower the reputation score. When the reputation is too low, abnormal races will deduct the score of the replaced cup (the clean score limit may decrease as the score decreases). Completing races normally can restore some reputation points. If there are too many abnormal races in one day, reputation points will no longer be restored.

16. Team management interface optimization: In the "Attribute Bonus" tab of the driver selection interface, if a car is currently selected, you can see the estimated scores of all drivers with this car, and you can sort them by "Current Car."

17. Off-Road Ranked Race interface prompt optimization:

1) When the next checkpoint is behind you, a reverse driving reminder will appear on the interface.

2) When the next checkpoint is the finish line, the checkpoint direction indicator on the interface will still use an arrow icon to indicate the direction, instead of a finish line icon.
