Two Japanese Cars Take on Motorfest After Dark

Nissan GT-R Mazda MX-5 night racing brings two Japanese sports cars into separate events in The Crew Motorfest. The first race puts the Nissan Skyline GT-R on wet roads with tight corners and high-speed sections. Later, the Mazda MX-5 takes over for a different nighttime challenge.

Nissan GT-R Night Racing in Heavy Rain

The first event puts the blue Nissan Skyline GT-R on a rain-soaked road against several rivals. Heavy rain immediately makes the conditions more difficult. Water covers the surface, while lights reflect across the wet asphalt. Reduced grip also requires careful control through the opening corners.

Starting near the back creates an immediate challenge. Several cars remain close together as the Nissan begins moving through the pack. Therefore, finding space between rivals becomes important while staying within reach of the leaders.

On the faster sections, the Nissan GT-R night racing action becomes more intense. The car reaches speeds above 300 km/h, with nitro providing additional acceleration along the straights. However, high-speed sections lead into tighter corners, making controlled braking essential.

Rain continues throughout the route and adds another challenge at high speed. The Nissan switches between hard acceleration and controlled braking while battling cars running side by side. Close encounters leave little room for overtaking and make every gained position important.

Meanwhile, the order changes several times as the GT-R works its way toward the front. After a strong push through the field, the Nissan reaches first place. Keeping the lead proves difficult, however, as the other cars continue applying pressure.

Through Central Mililani Canyon

The route eventually takes the cars through Central Mililani Canyon, where the road becomes narrower and more technical. Illuminated checkpoints guide the GT-R through wet bends surrounded by trees and dark nighttime scenery.

Some corners require the Nissan to reduce speed significantly before accelerating hard again. Nitro then helps the GT-R quickly build momentum on the straighter sections. The route also passes through a brightly illuminated tunnel, providing a noticeable change from the dark and rainy roads outside.

Inside the tunnel, the Nissan continues battling the other cars before returning to the wet open roads. As a result, changing road conditions keep the pressure high as the final part of the event approaches.

The closing section of the first race develops into another intense fight for position. Speeds rise toward 280–300 km/h as the Nissan chases its rivals across faster parts of the route. Meanwhile, the running order continues to change as the finish gets closer.

After holding first place earlier, the GT-R faces strong competition during the final kilometers. The last sections demand speed, accurate cornering and careful control on the slippery surface.

Finally, the Nissan GT-R secures 3rd place and finishes on the podium. The result completes a demanding race filled with heavy rain, high speeds and constant battles for position.

Mazda MX-5 Takes on a Night Racing Challenge

The second race puts the Mazda MX-5 into the spotlight for a night racing challenge. Starting from 8th place, the Japanese sports car immediately begins fighting for positions on the illuminated roads. The objective is to reach the top three, but the Mazda quickly begins fighting for much more.

The opening lap features intense battles through the middle of the pack. Cars race side by side through tight corners, leaving little space for overtaking. Nevertheless, the MX-5 steadily moves forward and gains positions during the challenging night race.

Fighting from Eighth to First

As the first lap continues, the Mazda closes the gap to the leaders. The MX-5 overtakes several rivals and moves from the back into the leading group. Acceleration out of the corners becomes especially important as the car fights for the top positions.

Before the end of the opening lap, the Mazda completes its charge through the field and takes 1st place. After starting in eighth position, the MX-5 now has to maintain its advantage.

Mazda MX-5 Leads the Final Lap

The second lap begins with the Mazda MX-5 in first position. With clear road ahead, the pace increases and the car reaches speeds above 220 km/h on the faster sections. Nitro provides additional acceleration on the straights. Meanwhile, tighter corners require controlled braking before the Mazda can build speed again.

The final part combines sweeping roads, tighter corners and high-speed sections. The MX-5 maintains the lead while reaching approximately 250 km/h on one of the fastest sections. The changing pace keeps the final lap intense as the Mazda continues toward the finish.

With the Mazda still leading, the final kilometers become a test of maintaining speed and avoiding mistakes. Faster sections provide opportunities to increase the gap. However, the corners require more control to keep the MX-5 on the ideal racing line.

Nitro helps the car accelerate quickly after slower sections and return to high speed. Meanwhile, the competitors continue the chase from behind. The Mazda keeps its position and approaches the final section with the lead intact.

Victory in the Mazda MX-5

The Mazda stays in control through the closing part and crosses the finish line in 1st place with a time of 3:38.462. Starting from eighth position and climbing all the way to victory completes an impressive drive through the field.

The Mazda MX-5 night racing challenge provides a different experience from the Nissan GT-R event. The smaller sports car combines quick acceleration, agile cornering and high-speed driving during its climb from eighth to first place.
