The Drako GTE Festival was a Festival event for Asphalt 8: Airborne as part of the 2020 Lunar New Year Update. It was held on the following dates:
Description[]
The objective of the event is to collect 
Festival Coins.
Coins are contained in Festival Coin Packs. They are obtainable from the quests, a daily free Coin button (once per day), through the Festival TLEs or from purchasing Festival bundles.
Purchasing the Festival Pass with an in-app purchase grants additional rewards when a new tier is reached. If the Festival Pass is purchased, all Premium rewards in completed tiers will be awarded.
3 quests are available for each day of the event and every quest has 5-8 levels. Quests can be achieved and rewards from them can be claimed even after a given Festival day ends.
Several one-time purchase bundles were available during the event with each bundle giving Festival Coins and Fusion Coins. Later bundles would give Pro Kit cards and credits as well. Purchasing a bundle would unlock a larger bundle.
If the player reaches tier 25 and has leftover coins, it is converted into a lump sum amount of credits. Purchasing a festival bundle after reaching tier 25 will not award additional credits.
Festival Special[]
At the end of this event, a "Festival Special" feature, functionally similar to the milestone version of daily ads, was made available for 6 days, where players were given one free spin per day to obtain an assortment of rewards; an additional 1 or 5 spins could be purchased for 
150 or 675 respectively. The GTE and its kit cards were featured in this Festival Special.
Strategy and statistics[]
- The Festival has 156 quests with each quest granting one
Festival Coin Pack. - TLE strategy:
- There are three dedicated Festival TLEs that reward Coin Packs. The first starts roughly when most players have reached tier 8 which rewards the Drako GTE. It is essential to reach a high leaderboard position in the first TLE to unlock more tiers that grant Festival Kit Boxes needed to further upgrade the GTE.
- As the only way to earn Kit Cards is by purchasing the Premium Pass, it is impossible to finish in high leaderboard positions without spending real money.
- The second Coin Pack TLE starts later, rewards more Coin Packs and finishes 1 day before the end of the Festival.
- The two Coin Pack TLEs grant a total of 153 Coin Packs (60 in first, 93 in second), but this requires reaching the top 1 % in the first, and 1st in the division for the second.
- All in all, an average of €/$ 40–50 is needed to reach tier 25.

- Upgrade tips:
- As high leaderboard positions are essential for obtaining further Festival Kit Boxes to upgrade the Festival car, pro upgrades should be applied wisely.
- Speed-based vehicles should be upgraded in the order Drivetrain → Tires → Exhaust → Suspension. Drivetrain improves top speed and acceleration which are most needed to compete in the TLEs.
- Nitro-based vehicles should be upgraded in the order Exhaust → Suspension → Drivetrain → Tires. Exhaust improves nitro and acceleration which are more important for vehicles that gain more total speed through nitro than top speed.
- As the Festival grants only few cards until the first TLE, it is essential to use them to upgrade only that section that delivers the most speed, no other sections (i. e. only Drivetrain for speed-based vehicles or only Exhaust for nitro-based vehicles).
