Players start at the top of a hill and, just like a regular sprint race, the player has to drive to the finish line without driving laps around a circuit. But unlike other drifting events the player will sometimes run across traffic. The player will drift their car by going from top to bottom and has to beat three drift records on the track to win. Drift point penalties will be granted by hitting the wall or traffic vehicles. All Downhill Drift Races start in Jackson Heights, since it is the steepest area of all of Bayview.
