Here in this guide you can learn about all the options of customization and handling for your car. So let’s start it.

Tire Pressures

Adjusting pressures for both front and rear tires will make drift easier. If you want a smooth and easy drift, you need to put more pressure in the front tires and less in the rear and for grip and prevent sliding on road, put more pressure on rear tires and less in front.

Nitrous

After having nitrous oxide system, you can adjust it for more power or more duration, more power will make your nitro more powerful, while duration will increase its time, but less it power. For long races you can use more duration, but if for short distance and turns, go with the more power.

Steer Response

Set steer response at fast for more reactive, twitchier steering suited to drift and at slower it is easy to control.

Steer Range

If you are going for the drift event set it to the wide range, it will make it easier and will hold the drift for some extra time, on the other hand if you want to have grip on the road and less drift and less lateral slip, make it on the other side.

Drift Stability Assist

Another best option for drift lover, you can maintain and control drift easier and for a long time then the normal time, if you are good at drifting this will help you a lot.

Launch Control

Not a drift option, turn this off while you are on a race event or going to challenge some other players for a race. Launch control reduces fish tailing and wheel spin.

Differential

For drifting you must have this option locked, locked differential means wheels consistently spin at same rate, which is good for drifting. And while going for a race, open it, it will prevent sliding while racing.

Downforce

This option will be ON if you have equip a spoiler on your car, for drifting you need to decrease the downforce, and for race increase the Downforce, it will enhances the traction of car at high speeds and also give some grip to your car.

Braking Drift Assist

Nothing much about it put it ON will creases the possibility to initiate a braking drift, while OFF decreases the possibility. If you are on a drift event, you should put this ON.

Handbrake Strength

For drifting use a weak handbrake, you will lose less speed can do chain drifts.

Brake Strength

Upgrade your brakes for a long drift, it will lock your wheels earlier. For the grip in races you can decrease the strength of brakes, so you have less chance to slip.

Spring Stiffness

Using an adjustable suspension, set your springs stiffness to stiff for drifting and for grip and drip go to the soft.

Sway Bars

Just like the Spring Stiffness, you can tune them for soft or stiff. Soft is better for grip while stiff is preferred for drifting.
