A nice drifting tutorial video for complete drifting newbies and dummies like me.



I still suck at it. Its against intuition of the race driver and the design of the race car to drive a race car like this. Faster lap times you are not rewarded with with this technique. I call that justice.

One more week until next update.

Ooh, thanks for that link.

Yeah, I'm not that good at it either. Learned a bit now though by that tutorial.

Same here, I just had the first two sessions where the number of intended drifts clearly exceeded the number of involuntary drifts.

I had some racing with the F599XX and the F40, but would recommend to currently not use them for AI races, these cars are so overpowered and unstabile that the AI cannot handle them well currently, with a result of plenty of contacts, carambolages, and picknics in the green. The AI also slams into my rear often - I assume it just cannot react fast enough with the brakes since the cars are too fast and especially on the F40 the brakes are quite weak.

But seeing a flock of F40s is a sight to see.

That video found me when I was in exactly the corresponding mood. Beautiful in sight and sound. Just too short. Isn't it always like that in life?

Something was missing so far - modern formula cars. Here they are.




Actually the Tatuu Formula Abarth cars drive well, AI-wise. That probably is because they look fast, but are not the fastest.

Tomorrow is update day again.

Teasers indicate they release the Nürburgring and the Lotus 125 along with it.

Finally a new track! I was craving for that. I do not need a plethora of cars. But tracks!

I like the Nürburgring track, and its one of those tracks I am more familiar with racing on than with others.
