While the team plans to reveal the full details, prior to release, they did provide some details in their latest Under the Hood blog.

When the update arrives, racers will need to head down to Port Murphy, to meet Raziel, an underground car dealer, who will import 2 cars for you. One of them can be purchased with real money, the other is a free variant of an existing car.

Raziel will ask you a few favors – as well as rewarding you in return. Complete the challenges to get visual customization parts for your new ride, character outfits, and effects fitting the car’s theme (such as underglows). Throughout your journey, you’ll also discover some new events that you can replay once you’ve completed them during the Black Market challenge.

If you’re not up to a particular REP level, you won’t be able to pick them up. The free car becomes available at REP level 20, while the paid car can be picked up at REP level 30.

Here are some of the changes and bug fixes, coming your way on March 3. Once again, full patch notes and details will be revealed prior to release.

  • When you’re receiving a new part in the garage, it’s now easier to spot. We removed the feed that showed your new items on the right side of the screen. Instead, there’s now a yellow banner saying “new” next to the category and the item.
  • We added more variation to race intros during both day and night races, as well as more victory celebration animations to enjoy when crossing the finish line.
  • Additional vanity items are introduced. You will be able to customize the color of the Backfire, and through the Black Market, you can also unlock Beat Sync underglows that will sync up with the in-game music.
  • You will now be able to adjust the camera shake in the settings.
