Trade in that Yule log; it’s time to burn rubber! ‘Tis the season for twinkling headlights and dashing through the snow; Santa’s sleigh is heading to a pit stop in Top Drives and it’s time to find out what gifts he’s brought with him. Check out all the Christmas content coming to Top Drives this festive season!

Advent Calendars

Two Advent Calendar challenges will run from 1st to 25th December.

One will be available to all players - return each day to open your next gift, and by Christmas claim a Carbon Fiber, a Premium, 2x Super Rares, 5x Slots and more! In honour of Santa’s sleigh, the challenge requires Red cars to play. Each round will also grant a Christmas Bauble, which will allow you to progress through the Festive Feats objectives - more on these later!

Players can also buy the Advent Deluxe Pass in the store for $249.99 to unlock the Advent Extravaganza: Deluxe Calendar - a turbocharged Advent Calendar with a further gift to claim each day. This calendar contains 3x Legendary cars, 2x Titanium packs, 2x Epic cars, 3x Carbon Fibers, 200+ slots, and 700k Cash - over 200% the value of the Pass! This challenge will have no difficulty - simply show up and play to claim each day’s gift.

Festive Feats

A new set of objectives will run from 1st to 31st December - achieve goals across all game modes to win packs!

Play events, collect and fuse Red cards, win Christmas Baubles from the Advent Calendar, win Christmas Stockings from events, and much more - and claim completed objectives to progress towards the top prize.

The prizes include a guaranteed Epic, 2x Carbon Fibers and 2x Ceramics!

Events & Holiday Hall of Fame challenges

Nine Christmas events will run between 4th and 25th December. Compete to win packs, Gold, Cash and all the usual event prizes. These events will be available to all players over 330 RQ.

Each event will also award scaling numbers of Christmas Stockings - you will need these to qualify for 3x super-tough Holiday Hall of Fame challenges!

See below for the details:

- An item leaderboard will track who has won the most Stockings - keep an eye on your standing and see how close you can get to the top!

- The 8th Christmas event will finish on 22nd December. The item leaderboard will close at 1200 UTC on 24th December - and 2 hours later, at 1400 UTC, 3x Hall of Fame challenges will unlock at thresholds of Christmas Stockings, corresponding to the 30,000th, 2,500th and 1,000th position on the item leaderboard when it closes.

- The 9th and final Christmas event will not finish until the evening of the 25th - so after the thresholds have been set, you still have one last chance to earn enough Christmas Stockings to qualify! When we ran a similar design earlier this year, the number of players who had enough items to qualify for the top two thresholds nearly doubled - so if you haven’t qualified after 8 events, make sure to still compete in the 9th as you may still make the grade!

- The leaderboards you are matchmade into will vary between more and less competitive opponents in each event - but the prize tiers are set up such that the more competitive your bracket, the more generous the rewards!

Each of the Holiday Hall of Fame challenges will test your garage on a subset of Red cars. The 3 challenges’ requirements and prizes are as follows:

- Frankincense (30,000th player threshold) - race Red cars from Australia, Czech Republic, South Korea and Sweden, to win the Ultra Rare prize car Peugeot RCZ R Bimota

- Myrrh (2,500th player threshold) - race Red cars from Japan, to win the Epic prize car Peugeot 308 Racing Cup

- Gold (1,000th player threshold) - race Red cars from France and the UK, to win a guaranteed 90+ RQ Legendary
