Dec. 28, 2025 - Jan. 7, 2026 |
The December 2025 Spotlight Banners have officially been announced. The most notable of these banners is the Kitasan Black (Fire at My Heels) rerun. It's best to max the card out now, as it will remain the best Speed SSR for at least a year longer with no reruns in sight.
Among the new trainees, Mejiro Dober can be a great parent for Late Surgers and End Closers, as her unique is a powerful acceleration skill that is similar to Mejiro Ryan's Let's Pump Some Iron. Although they're not as stand-out, Manhattan Cafe should be good for the upcoming Libra Cup and other Long races. Kimono Gold City has the potential to be a strong acceleration debuffer in Mile and a usable ace in Scorpio Cup.
December 2025 Release Schedule
Expected Banner Schedule
Our scheduled banner releases are based on those of the Japanese version. However, we have made adjustments to align with the pacing of the Global banner releases of around 4 to 5 banners per month.
With that in mind, please remember that these are only estimates, so banners may arrive earlier than listed here. The Global version might change the release schedule to adjust expectations and keep things interesting.

Best Upcoming Banners
The following are some of the best banners to pull on for the year 2026. We may still update these recommendations in the future to account for any balance or schedule changes.
January to March 2026
| 1Q 2026 Best Banners |
|---|
|
・Christmas Oguri Cap
・Mayano Top Gun (Speed SSR) ・Matikanefukukitaru (Speed SSR) ・Valentine's Mihono Bourbon ・Kitasan Black ・Admire Vega (Guts SR) ・Narita Top Road (Speed SSR) |
In the next few months, some of the strongest banners to pull from include Christmas Oguri Cap and Valentine's Mihono Bourbon, since both will remain strong for a long while.
For supports, the Mayano Top Gun Speed SSR can be very good for Front Runners, but only if you can max it out. Matikanefukukitaru Speed SSR could be worth rolling as it gives up to 30 initial stats for every stat and can potentially give 21 additional extra all stats. It's also unique in that it has failure protection and energy cost reduction. A rerun banner featuring Fine Motion (Wave of Gratitude) will also be available a few months after and can be considered if you want to max uncap it.
We're also expecting the 3rd scenario to drop around Late March, although it won't have any scenario link. Kitasan Black will be a good Front Runner parent and racer, with her biggest flaw being that she can't use her own SSR Speed card. Support Cards with 10 to 15% race bonus, such as Admire Vega Guts SR and Narita Top Road Speed SSR releasing with the scenario, will be best used here.
April to June 2026
| 2Q 2026 Best Banners |
|---|
|
・Nishino Flower
・Seiun Sky (rerun) ・Seiun Sky (Formal alt) ・Cheerleader King Halo ・Mr. C.B. (Wit SSR) ・Throne Group SSR ・Summer Gold Ship ・Maruzensky (Speed SSR) |
Nishino Flower will be a powerful parent and contender for Mile races and Pace Chasers. Seiun Sky and her alt will both be good targets to pull for as parents for Front Runners. Cheerleader King Halo can also be worth pulling for as a parent for Sprint and Mile races. Around the later part of 2Q 2026, we will likely see Summer Gold Ship, who is one of the best parents to aim for, as her unique can activate 2 rare skills without conditions.
For support cards, Mr. C.B. Wit SSR will be a good pull to use alongside other Wit cards, especially for End Closers. We may also see the debut of a Group SSR around this time, which should be very good for the 3rd scenario. Maruzensky Speed SSR will be a generally good card to pull for, too.
July to December 2026
| 2H 2026 Best Banners |
|---|
|
・Copano Rickey
・New Year's Kitasan Black ・New Year's Satono Diamond ・Maruzensky (Speed SSR) ・Light Hello (Pal SSR) ・Agnes Tachyon (Speed SSR) ・Mejiro Ramonu (Wit SSR) ・Goddesses Group SSR ・Sakura Laurel ・Neo Universe |
One of the bigger highlights later in the year is Copano Rickey. She will be an amazing runner for Dirt tracks in all game modes for a long time. Later in the year, New Year's Kitasan Black and Satono Diamond are additional trainees to aim for. Sakura Laurel should also be considered as a strong parent for Long races. Neo Universe is another strong pick for Medium races.
For support cards, it's highly recommended to pull on the support card banner for the 4th Scenario, Grand Live. This banner features both Light Hello Pal SSR and Agnes Tachyon Speed SSR, some of the best cards for Grand Live. This will also solidify the trend of having the scenario link Pal cards be very good for their associated training, as seen with Riko Kashimoto in Unity Cup.
The 5th Scenario, Grand Masters, is also expected to release within the year. It's best to pull for Mejiro Ramonu Wit SSR and the Goddesses Group SSR. Mejiro Ramonu is notable for being a long-lasting Wit card that can replace Fine Motion, while the Goddesses support is the only one that has a scenario link to Grandmasters.
