Exclusive | JusDrive Update 6 to 7: Final Farewell to Current Hong Kong Map

With much anticipation, the JusDrive Map Update 7 (UPD 7) is finally on its way, scheduled to be rolled out at 7 am HKT (GMT+8), May 31 2025, as community members and players gathered before server shutdown at 9:30 pm the night before to bid farewell to the current Map Update 6 (UPD 6), which has been with us for the past 2-3 years.

Late to the farewell party that started at 7 pm, our journalist arrived at roughly 8:20 pm when he noticed the JusDrive server was filled with players (and his friends). The following is a highlight of the final moments of the server, written in his own words.

The server was quite chaotic when our journalist joined in (just as usual), with players debating where to gather next. But it didn't take long before the next location was decided: the Kai Tak Runway, where players love to race their cars.

Kai Tak Runway will sadly be gone in UPD 7. 

By typing the command !start, the red lights at the start/finish line at Runway 13 and 31 would light up brightly. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Red Lights… and "LIGHTS OUT, HERE WE GO!!!" Players darted off the start line (with some jump-starting 3 seconds earlier than the 5 red lights went off), drivers holding tight to their throttle, accelerating down the runway until unavoidably hitting the barrier at the runway's end, sending their cars rolling or drifting out of control before coming to an abrupt stop. And it repeated on and on… These will surely be memories we cherish as we welcome the new UPD 7 map.

We raced on the Kai Tak runway with our supercars and buses for one last time, with the same spirit as the people of Hong Kong bid farewell to the closure of the Kai Tak Airport—with only (small but significant) differences being planes versus cars, flying into the sky versus racing on the ground.

After that, buses returned to their final bus parade, and I gathered the supercars at Central Spawn for the final Race Tournament of the UPD 6 map on the usual route—that is, the grind route.

If you are unaware, the tournament was introduced by me to this server (approximately 6-9 months ago?) in the spirit of an F1 race as players drive their favorite supercar from the imaginary Green Island Tunnel near Kennedy Town spawn to the roundabout near Chai Wan, before returning to the Green Island Tunnel, completing a full loop.

This is also known as "the grind loop," where players grind for mileage (km) to earn a higher place on the leaderboard. This is quite a popular choice as there are no (active) speed cameras to dish out demerits while offering high efficiency for grinding.

I have successfully held the tournament in race formats that include 1) the ordinary race, where everyone fights for themselves, and 2) teams, where one person drives 1 lap before the other person drives 1 more lap in their car.

A BIG thank you to all participants of all past tournaments, and the final tournament was a HUGE success! While the future of this route is uncertain, I promise to explore possible loops where we can bring such tournaments back to life on the UPD 7 map. Stay tuned!

After that, buses and supercars reunited at the DUCKY near central spawn for our last (proper) group photo on the UPD 6 map at around 9 pm.

After the final group photo, we had (almost) the whole server sitting on a Sightseeing Bus. And at around 9:17 pm, we headed towards our final destination, to be revealed later. And for the very first time, we filled the upper deck of the bus and achieved a record-breaking number of no less than 23 people on board (driver included).

I am glad our bus arrived just in time before the server shutdown. As we waved goodbye to our much-beloved UPD 6 map with us for the past 2~3 years, filled with all kinds of our memories, we are also incredibly excited about the upcoming UPD 7. 

唔識反駁隊新仔: No way you are excited about the update, I would have never thought of that!

And at 9.32 pm, after a 2-minute delay, the story of the UPD 6 maps ends with the message, “The Server has shut down”.
