Game Update, Build 0040
In the last announcement about the system being complete, the puddles were randomly placed by the system. Feedback from our testers was that there were many puddles where it made no sense, which made the puddles more of a hindrance than adding to the overall fun. Hence, we've decided to rewrite the system, and now the puddles are hand placed, which was a much more laborious task than we had anticipated. We hope that you guys will now have fun challenging the touge in the wet!
It's finally time for a new track, and we're happy to announce that Tsuchisaka will now join the roster as one of the custom made maps for TS. In our previous game, Tsuchisaka was one of our favourite tracks, with a great layout, big elevation changes, and slow and high speed sections. We're really excited for it to make a comeback, and believe that it will quickly grow to be one of your favourite tracks here too!
In the top level of players, a driving style has emerged, whereby to drift the rear of the car into the guardrails to gain time. The penalty system has been updated specifically to detect this exploit, and should generally not affect the penalties of other forms of collision. Gentle wall taps should still not be penalized. Thereby, along with the new track and rain weather, we've decided that it would be a good time to reset the leaderboards. We hope to see a cleaner driving style at the top of the leaderboards soon!

New Track: Tsuchisaka

Walltap Penalty System

Touge Shakai (Mountain Pass Society) is an online Touge Racing Game based on Japanese car culture in the 90s. With an emphasis on balance between realism and fun gameplay, the physics are tailored for competitive drift racing, while giving a challenge to all players.
The driving physics are mainly simulated, but not to the extent of hardcore racing simulators. The driving characteristics of each car is tailored to be distinctly different from each other, and require drivers to master different driving styles to bring out the best in each car. The objective is to be fun while remaining believable. However, there's a twist to the driving physics: Drifting is faster than grip driving for most rear-wheel drive vehicles.

Race against the clock with various cars and courses to improve your pace and compete on the leaderboards. Players can also challenge the “ghosts” of other players, which are apparitions of their previous runs to learn from their driving. Medals are awarded with target timings, and provides progression for customization for each car.
PvP Battle
Classic touge-style battle. Battles rules include "First to finish" and "Cat and Mouse". Cat and Mouse has a leader and a chaser, with the leader trying to pull away and the chaser trying to keep up. The leader wins when they finish the course by a fixed distance from the chaser, while the chaser wins if they manage to overtake by the finish. The race moves on to the next round in a draw, with their positions reversed. Cat and Mouse mode is recommended as it provides the fairest battle, as overtaking is difficult and dangerous on the touge.
Team battles consist of multiple PvP Battles ongoing at the same time, with the team with the most wins coming out on top.
Free Ride
Practice, socialize and start impromptu races with others on the touge and just have fun! Learn from others and enjoy the course without the pressure of winning or losing. Showcase your rides and hang out with other racers and teams.
