All K-Drive races located throughout the Orb Vallis.
K-Drive Races are free roam missions for the Ventkids that are run by Boon in the Orb Vallis. The goal of each race is to pass through as many gates as possible while mounting a K-Drive and then reach the final gate within a time limit. Completing the race will earn the player Standing for the Ventkids.
There are 22 races scattered across the Orb Vallis, however only 5 are active at a time. The active races refresh daily, at the same time as Daily Tribute and Standing limits. You can check the currently-available races by mounting your K-Drive and then opening the map.
Mechanics
Edit
Starting a race costs 
5 for each gate in the race and will reward 200 for each gate if completed successfully. For example, the race "The Hard Way" behind Fortuna consists of 10 gates so entering will cost 50 and will reward 5,000 when finished.
Every gate grants 500 K-Drive Affinity and 5 seconds to the race time limit when passed, and the final gate grant 2500 K-Drive Affinity.

NotesEdit
- Completing all 22 races will grant you the Race Ace achievement.
TriviaEdit
- It is possible to complete constant races by ignoring the other gates and beelining for the final gate. However, players will obtain lesser K-Drive Affinity and VentKids Standing that way.
Patch HistoryEdit
- Optimized significant performance deterioration when talking to Vent Kids on the Orb Vallis; this was most noticeable during the initial dialogue when starting a K-Drive Race.
- K-Drive Race Affinity has been increased!
- Affinity gained per Gate is now 500 (previously 200)
- Affinity gained per Race completion is now 2500 (previously 1000)
- K-Drive Race Standing has been doubled!
- Standing gained per Gate is now 200
- Max Standing gained per Race is now 6000
- K-Drive races now award Affinity towards the actually K-Drive, not just Ventkid Standing!
- K-Drive Race Change
- Increased the Standing gains from K-Drive races from 50 to 100 per gate:
- The amount of Standing rewarded is based on the number of gates * 100 (10 gates * 100 = 1000 Standing) if you successful complete the race.
- K-Drive Races now require and reward Standing! Boon has adapted the high risk high reward lifestyle - glinty!!
- The amount of Standing required is based on the number of gates * 5 (10 gates * 5 = 50 Standing requirement) regardless win or lose the race.
- The amount of Standing rewarded is based on the number of gates * 50 (10 gates * 50 = 500 Standing) if you successful complete the race.
- High value tricks will reward you more Standing.
- Removed the Ventkid Standing icon from the K-Drive race completion screen. Ventkid Standing is simply earned by doing tricks out in Orb Vallis.*Ventkid Standing for races will be coming in a future update as noted in Update 24!
- Fixed Boon missing from certain K-Drive race locations in Orb Vallis.
- Introduced.
