focus on drifting mechanics

not visually comparable
to games like
Asphalt 5

simpler graphics
—often seen as a turnoff for car enthusiasts— but still the developers managed to keep the game engaging and interesting. It has
25 impressive drift cars
for you to unlock and choose from. There are
10 different tracks available
. Additionally, it has impressive drift physics players will definitely enjoy. You can even leave behind
skid marks
as you drift.

full heads-up display
. There’s a gear indicator, an accelerometer, and even large
buttons for brake and acceleration

minor display problems

A rare drifting game
As a
racing sim focused on drifting

lacks in the level of detail
, it makes up for in its commitment to the drifting mechanics. The stages vary to accommodate different skill levels and drifting preferences. There are also different cars to choose from for a varied gameplay experience.
