🎬 SYNOPSIS

Greetings, chooms!

I'm Amanda, and I'll be your host for this presentation. I've heard you know a thing or two about driving cars. But what about drifting?!

Let me introduce you to the ShaderDrift Club!

Get in your beloved car, start a burnout, and go drift in the streets.

You have 5 minutes to show me your best skills and get those tires hot!

Now, each time you drift, you'll earn points based on your angle and speed. But be smart — hit a wall, hit a car, and you'll face a penalty on your score. Hit a guy? Damn you really don't want to do that! sh But I've heard they can be quite stupid sometimes. sh

See when your drift score turns gold? That's when you're pulling off the best drift of the race so far. You want that, but the more you want it, the less you'll get it!

That combo counter is your best friend. You'll need to chain drifts to bump it up. Reach level 5, and you'll be king. But you'll have to pull off 14 drifts to achieve it. And don't be a fool — if you hit something, you'll drop back to level 1.

Let's say you cross some NCPD guys, and get chased by them. You'll score more points based on the drift time you accumulate. The higher your wanted level, the more points you'll score.

Okkkkk, finish the race in one piece, and I'll show you your statistics, so you can improve over time. I'll send you some eddies based on your performance. Of course, since I'm providing you with this system, I'll take my cut. And remember, the more damage you cause, the more it'll cost to cover with my insurance. You better be careful.

That's it for now!

Thanks for joining. This was Amanda, and I hope to see you someday in the streets of Night City!
