JDM: Japanese Drift Master has signed a licensing agreement with legendary car brand Honda. The deal will bring a catalog of iconic cars to the upcoming drift racing sim, though an exact list of which cars will be included has yet to be revealed.

To succeed, you’ll need to manage your cars accordingly, picking the best car for the best track from a handful of different brands. Alongside Honda, the racing sim will feature a garage-load of iconic cars and brands, including Nissan, Subura, and Mazda.
JDM: Japanese Drift Master is set to launch on March 26th, 2025, though a price point has not yet to been revealed by developer Gaming Factory. While waiting for its release, be sure to check out the prologue, JDM: Rise of Scorpion, available now on Steam.
