D.R.I.V.E
Blizzard introduces a new customizable vehicle, the G-99 Breakneck, for adventures in Undermine. Thanks to the D.R.I.V.E. system (Dynamic and Revolutionary Improvements to Vehicular Experiences), players can travel faster than regular mounts, using a driving system with drifting and speed boosts.

How to Unlock the D.R.I.V.E. Kart
The link is unlocked via a series of quests in Undermine.
You can start the quest No More Walkin' Here link after introducing yourself
to the amenities of the Incontinental Hotel during Chapter 2 of the Patch 11.1 Undermine campaign.
This quest will introduce you to link, the Shipping and Handling boss,
who will then give you the quest link.
Licence Not Required will introduce you to the basics of the D.R.I.V.E. system:
Driving around, turbo and driving, and the shipping and handling job mechanic.
Completing the quest will give you the D.R.I.V.E Vehicle, the link mount.
D.R.I.V.E. Mechanics
When you mount your link, you will see a new action bar for your vehicle.
link (Default Keybind: 1) - Gain a massive burst of speed for a short duration. This consumes Turbo.
link (Default Keybind: 5) - Start a Shipping and Handling task. If you are already on a task, this will cancel it.
link (Default Keybind: 6) - Dismount from your G-99 Breakneck.
The Turbo Bar above your vehicle bar tracks how much Turbo you currently have.
Boosting and Drifting
Your G-99 Breakneck already moves fast, but you can use the Boost ability to go even faster for a few seconds. After boosting, you will maintain that speed for 2-3 seconds before decreasing back to the normal G-99 Breakneck speed.
Using your link ability consumes Turbo, which is tracked by the Turbo bar on top of your vehicle bar. You have a total of 100 Turbo available.
Turbo does not naturally generate over time. Once used, the only way to generate more Turbo is by drifting your vehicle. By holding down your Spacebar while riding your car, you will start drifting, gaining 2 Turbo every 0.5 seconds while maintaining your drift. Releasing your Spacebar will stop the drifting.
In addition to regenerating Turbo, drifting allows you to make sharper turns.
