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

This is the console-grade sequel to the original CarX. You get 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 every car and track 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 much larger career. The visuals jump a tier too. 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, working the throttle and brake to keep a car sliding through a corner. Sim drift fans dig into the deep tuning panel, setting camber, toe, brake bias, and gear ratios 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 built around grinding in-game currency to unlock cars and parts. The mod takes that gate away. Every car is in the garage from the start, every track is selectable from the main menu, and your 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 instead of grinding one car, that shortcut is the whole point. The physics model is unchanged, so you still earn your line on the track. You just do it with the parts catalog already open.

What this mod offers

The modified build of CarX Drift Racing 2 v1.42.0 opens up the progression the vanilla game gates behind grinding or premium currency. Physics, multiplayer, and event modes behave exactly like the official build. Only the catalog and the wallet are different.

  • 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 that career progression normally keeps locked.

  • All tracks open.

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

  • Mod menu overlay.

    A small in-game toggle gives you 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 all stripped out.

How to install

The install follows the standard Android sideload flow. The download is large because the APK ships with the OBB asset bundle baked inside it, so stick to Wi-Fi.

  1. Download the APK file

    Tap the button on this page. The 2 GB file lands in your default Downloads folder, so give it 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 permissions it wants.

  4. Tap Install and wait

    Confirm the install. The progress bar takes longer than a normal 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 get you banned from CarX online services.
