Say hi to sliding physics!

Release notes

  1. Added sliding physics, changed suspension settings for classic and modern cars

  2. Added manual shifting + clutch like to robot gearbox, fixed redundant gear switching on load, fixed gear ratios for several cars

  3. Updated car sounds, added more backshot sounds (enabled only for tuned exhaust)

  4. Updated trackday rules for easier fix on start lane and start from full gas

  5. Added support for WQHD resolution + fix bug with save previously selected resolution

  6. Added flywheel inertia effect - get boost when "clutching" from low revs, useful to control drift in turns

  7. Made handbake smooth to avoid immediate turnaround when using handbrake in turns

  8. Added checkbox to enable Joystick (now it's disabled by default)

  9. Added indicator of traction control

How to drift on any car

  • Play with a clutch (click-click-click :)

  • Play with a gas in manual gearbox mode. I.e. downshift before the turn and press-release-press gas multiple times

  • Pull the handbrake in turn, it's soft now and will not block the wheels immediately. Try it out!

  • Release the gas before the turn and press in turn

How to tune cars for better drift

  • Apply coilovers and set lower and a bit harder suspension

  • Apply swaybars to reduce roll in turns

  • Tune engine for more power

  • Play with weight reduce but be careful or your car will be too harsh

  • Use stock tires or drag slicks. Drag slicks will help you to push the car forward in drift with a clutch or gas

How to switch gearbox to manual mode

Press "Next gear"/"Prev gear" keys. Gearbox will remain in manual mode and switch back to auto after 30 seconds if you will not switch gears. You can switch it to auto immediately with "Auto gears" key.

Happy drifting! :)
