New WoW Races Unveiled in Patch 11.1

World of Warcraft Patch 11.1 introduces thrilling new races: Breakneck D.R.I.V.E. and Skyrocket races. These replace traditional Skyriding races in the new Undermine zone.

Undermine, a vast subterranean Goblin city, prohibits flying. Instead, players navigate using customizable D.R.I.V.E. vehicles, offering a unique high-speed ground-based racing experience. Breakneck D.R.I.V.E. races fully utilize this system, challenging players with speed and precision.

Complementing the D.R.I.V.E. races are the exhilarating Skyrocket races. These utilize Goblin jetpacks for aerial maneuvering. A unique flight mechanic balances the speed and control of traditional flight and Skyriding; momentum is maintained, but mid-air stops are impossible. Ring collection boosts speed, but also reduces maneuverability, adding a layer of strategic complexity.

Key Features:

• No Skyriding in Undermine: The Undermine zone is exclusively designed for ground and jetpack-based racing.
• Breakneck D.R.I.V.E. Races: High-speed ground races utilizing customizable D.R.I.V.E. vehicles.
• Skyrocket Races: Aerial races using Goblin jetpacks, offering a unique blend of speed and challenging control.
• Achievements: Bronze, Silver, and Gold time achievements are available for all races.
• Reverse Races: Reverse versions of all Skyrocket and Breakneck races are included.

Race List:

Initial player feedback on the Skyrocket races has been mixed, with some expressing concerns about the flight's stiffness. However, with Patch 11.1 still under development, further refinements are expected before the February release.
