Japanese Automotive Festival Brings new Challenges
The Japanese Automotive celebration will feature several special races and challenges. For example, every week, a photo challenge will ask players to find Japanes Stone Lanterns around the map. A special “Catch Me If You Canyon” train race using the 2000 Nissan Silvia Spec-R will be included as well.
