CarX Drift Racing 2
Version 1.42.0 · CarX Technologies, LLC · com.carxtech.carxdr2

The console-grade sequel to the original CarX. Real-time multiplayer drift battles, tandem competitions, deep car tuning, and a physics engine the drift community treats as the mobile reference. The modified build below ships with all cars and tracks unlocked and an open in-game currency wallet.

What is CarX Drift Racing 2

CarX Drift Racing 2 is the second-generation drifting simulator from CarX Technologies, the studio behind the original CarX Drift Racing and CarX Street. It keeps the physics-first identity of the series and adds online multiplayer, a tandem drift mode where two cars score the same line, and a significantly larger career. Visual fidelity jumps a tier: shadow detail, lighting, and tire smoke all read closer to a console build than a phone game.

Casual players treat it as a touch-screen drift sandbox, dialing throttle and brake to keep a car sliding through a corner. Sim drift fans use the deep tuning panel - camber, toe, brake bias, gear ratios - to set up a car the way they would in iRacing or Assetto Corsa. Both groups share the same physics model; the difference is how far you push the setup.

Why people install the mod

The vanilla game is free, but progression is tuned around grinding in-game currency to unlock cars and parts. The mod removes that gate - every car is in the garage from the start, every track is selectable from the main menu, and the cash balance does not drop when you buy a part or a livery wrap.

For drift fans who want to study setups across the whole fleet rather than grind one car, that shortcut is the point. The physics model is unchanged; you still earn your line on the track, just with the parts catalog already open.

What this mod offers

The modified build of CarX Drift Racing 2 v1.42.0 opens the parts of the progression the vanilla game gates behind grinding or premium currency. The physics, multiplayer, and event modes behave as in the official build; only the catalog and wallet differ.

  • Unlimited in-game currency.

    Cash and gold do not drop when you spend on cars, parts, or visual upgrades.

  • All cars unlocked from the start.

    Every car is selectable from the main menu, including the Pro fleet normally locked behind career progression.

  • All tracks open.

    The track selector shows every venue from day one. No career gating.

  • Mod menu overlay.

    A small in-game toggle gives quick access to the modded options without leaving the session.

  • No purchase prompts, no ads.

    Store screens, bundled-currency offers, reward-video prompts, and banner interstitials are removed.

How to install

The install follows the standard Android sideload flow. The download itself is large because the APK ships with the OBB asset bundle inside it, so use a Wi-Fi connection.

  1. Download the APK file

    Tap the button on this page. The 2 GB file lands in your default Downloads folder; allow a few minutes on Wi-Fi.

  2. Allow installs from this source

    Open Settings, search Install unknown apps, find your file manager or browser, and toggle the permission on.

  3. Open the downloaded APK

    Tap the file in Downloads. Android’s package installer opens and lists the requested permissions.

  4. Tap Install and wait

    Confirm. The progress bar takes longer than a typical APK because the OBB bundle unpacks inside it. Do not lock the screen until it finishes.

  5. First run in offline mode

    Tap Open. Disable mobile data or skip the online login on first launch. Modded clients can risk a ban from CarX online services.
