JDM appeared on our 2024 list of upcoming racing games despite not having a release window.

We’ve clearer views of JDM’s 250km open world, blending rural mountain passes with bustling city highways, supported by real-time traffic and dynamic weather. The sideways driving is still sublime, with enough tune up options and paint colours to keep petrolheads happy.
