[Maintenance Time] August 20, 2026, at 01:30 (UTC-8)

What’s coming your way after the maintenance:
Season
1. 2026 Season 2 “Summer Hunt” will end on August 20, and the new 2026 Season 3 “Apex Fest” will begin!
The current score of the driver’s cars will be automatically reset to the corresponding initial scores for the new season.
Racing Master and above:
Cars with more than 1,200 points will be reset to 1,200 points.
Cars with 0-1,200 points will not be reset.
Champion Driver:
Cars with more than 1,200 points will have 200 points deducted after reset, with a minimum of 1,200 points. Cars with 0-1,199 points will not be reset.
Ace Driver:
Cars with more than 1,000 points will have 200 points deducted after reset, with a minimum of 1,000 points. Cars with 0-999 points will not be reset.

If a driver engages in any behavior that violates the Terms of Use and undermines the fairness of the game during a season, in addition to the corresponding penalties imposed in accordance with our policies, at the moment the penalty takes effect, the official team may, depending on the circumstances, reset the accumulated Rank Points and League Points of all cars under their account to zero.

Fixes
Traffic Overdrive Optimizations
- Optimized how enemy positions are displayed. Positions will now be shown strictly based on score, preventing sudden changes in enemy position.
2)Optimized the auto-target lock mechanism during consecutive jumps. It can now assist with target locking while you manually fine-tune your landing point. - Mileage in Traffic Overdrive can now count toward Mileage Missions.
- Added a start function during the Countdown Stage.
- Optimized the reward claiming feature. When claiming a car, there will now be a 5-second cooldown, and the car can only be claimed after the cooldown ends.
- Optimized the visuals during rainy periods and added raindrop effects.
- Increased the Basic HP drain rate in Traffic Overdrive to speed up the race pace.
- Optimized the enemy ghost algorithm. The ghost’s position will now be connected to the score. When the enemy’s score is higher, the ghost will be ahead; when the enemy’s score is lower, the ghost will be behind.
- Optimized the race rules. As race time progresses, the HP drain rate will gradually increase, shortening the overall race duration. The time limit for the second stage has also been increased to prevent the race from ending suddenly before HP is fully depleted.
- When card stats grow while not driving, the card description will display the changing growth values in real time. 11) When combining cards into a Gold Card, the growth values already gained by the original cards will be merged into the Gold Card, so growth will not be lost.
- If you return to the lobby midway, you can continue the match from the stage position where you previously left when you play again.
- Reduced the score number animation effects to lower the chance of blocking your view.
- When approaching an enemy ghost, the enemy nameplate will become transparent to avoid blocking your
view. - Card balance adjustments:
Sped Rhythm: When any card triggers acceleration, the overtake score has been increased from 20% to 150%. Flash Rush’s effect adjusted to: After performing Extreme Swerve 3 times: Accelerates for 3 seconds.

- Updated the style of collection titles (car collection, outfits, and appearances).
- Optimized the layout of info on the loading screen. Starting from 2026 Season 3 and later seasons, the Tier Frame in the upper-right corner of the loading screen will no longer be issued.
- To support the new engine upgrade, improve PC visual quality, and enhance client performance, the PC launcher will be updated on August 19 with an estimated download size of 70-90 MB.
