Kowloon Dragons
You have been invited to race with the Dragons. The first event takes place in Hong Kong. This is a Togue race, which is a best of 3 race. You can win in two ways. You can cross the finish line first or you can leave your opponent in the dust. If you create a 5 second lead in the race, you win automatically. While this is a interesting option, just focus on crossing the finish line first. The 5-second rule will come in to play by doing just that. Be sure not to hit the other cars as this could cause a major problem.

This is a new event. The Touge is a challenge, but you have the skills to handle it. Select your new car, and then continue to the race. Remember you must stay 5 seconds ahead or cross the line first.
The track at Ap Lei Chau is amazing. It’s wide-open spaces and manageable turns scream drift. Luckily, so does your car. This is a great mode to practice your drifting skills. You only have to race against one other car. The most important part of this race is controlling the gap.
Remember this is Touge! This is a best 2 out of 3 races contest. You will start the race at a different starting position than your last one, but the same rules apply. Keep the gap and stay in the lead. Do that and you have this race in the bag and you will be invited to more.
After the race you will be able to select a new car. Either the Mercedes Benz C63 AMG or the BMW M3 Coupe. The C63 is made to drift. IT also boars an impressive top speed and acceleration. The M3 Coupe is balanced and has a little less power than the C63. You will be able to win the other car in a vehicle challenge. Make your choice and move on to the next invitation from the Dragons.

This course will eventually take you up a steep climb. Avoid hitting the mountain of rock on the left to avoid spinning out. This could cause you to loose position and momentum in the race.
