Furious GT Drift: Free Online Drift Car Game

Furious GT Drift builds its tracks in the sky. Each arena is a slab of tarmac hanging in open air, ringed by red and white curbs, with DRIFT ZONE painted across the middle. You look down at it from an angle, and your car, the Street Runner to begin with, sits at the start box waiting for you to go.

Every arena has a mission. The first one, Snow Smash, asks you to plow through seven snow piles scattered around the arena, and a counter at the top keeps score. Other arenas swap in different goals, but the clock is always running: beat the par time, clear the bonus goal and finish without a hit to earn all three stars. There are 51 arenas spread over three sets, Day Circuit, Sunset Rush and Midnight Arena, and you unlock them one by one.

The one rule you cannot break is the curb. Clip the edge of the arena and the car bursts into pieces with a big CRASHED banner, and the run is over. That turns every corner into a small puzzle. You have to swing the back of the car around the snow piles and obstacles while keeping the nose pointed away from the edge, all at a speed that still beats the clock. A health bar and a nitro bar sit at the bottom of the screen, so you can save a boost for the long straight back to the last target.

Between runs, coins from each arena go into the garage, where you can upgrade and unlock more cars, and the skills screen adds abilities that make the harder missions possible. A daily reward hands out extra coins if you come back each day.

On a computer you choose between keyboard and mouse or mouse only, where you hold the left or right side of the screen to steer. Furious GT Drift loads in a couple of seconds, runs free in your browser and needs no download.
