Best Route for Players
- Unlock Drift Attack first because it becomes a permanent mode and links into later leaderboard searches.
- Clear the 20/40 point weekly rewards before chasing cosmetics.
- Get Bentley at 80 points, then decide whether Valhalla at 160 is worth the grind.
- If you own Car Pass, check the garage each Thursday after the weekly drop.
