Drift Car
One of the aspects of the game that will have the biggest impact on your success is putting together the best car possible. An inexpensive, but effective, drift car can be built from the 2003 Subaru Impreza. According to GameWinners, you should modify the car so that it has level three drift tires, a level four exhaust and intercooler as well as a level five ignition system and supercharger. You can add a level four nitrous system and still keep the cost under $50,000.
Making a Profit
While it costs money to buy new cars, you can sell back cars as well. Make a profit with the 350Z Fairlady Nismo S-tune. The car costs $35,000 to purchase. Get the car and drive it around. When you go to sell it back, the shop will take it for $37,000, for a $2,000 profit.
Grip Battle Strategy
Grip battles are races in which you have to race from point A to point B along a path that is full of turns and curves. It can be difficult to maneuver the tight corners, and cautious racers will not be fast enough to win the race. To get in the right mindset to win a grip battle, treat it like a drift challenge. Drift around the curves, that way you will not lose your speed.
