Become a drift legend! Tune your dream drift car, change parts, boost performance and test your skills on the legendary EBISU circuits. 

Once raced illegally on the streets of Japan, drifting racing has now spread across the globe. Sanctioned races are held in many countries including the UK, Germany, Poland, Australia, Japan and the United States and attracts drivers at the very top of their game. These specialist drivers push their skills and their cars to the very limits to drift at speed through the entirety of a corner while maintaining total control.

Choose from a range of fully licensed cars and fine tune your dream drifting machine right down to the smallest engine parts to gain every advantage when on the track. Dirft21 will deliver an unparalleled driver experience creating a new level of realism in both visuals and vehicle handling and by using 3D scanning techniques, the development team were able to recreate real drift tracks from around the world in stunning detail.

To get your engines revving, 505 Games has released a trailer showcasing some of the tuned cars from Dirft21 being put through their paces on the legendary drifting circuits. 

As part of the ongoing development roadmap, the team at ECC Games have taken the game back to the garage for some solid "work under the hood" to fix some known bugs as well as further changes in the game physics model. All available cars were analyzed, and on this basis, multiple parameters were improved - among others, the vehicles' gravitational centers.

Together with the Dirft21 community, the team has also put a lot of work into improving and diversifying the types of tyres available, making it easier to match the best tyre to the power of the car and your preferred set up. The latest update makes a noticeable difference between the hardest and the softer compounds.

The developers also tuned DRIFT21’s score system. By tuning, it means almost totally redesigning it. With these changes, the UI has been redesigned too. One of the UI’s new features is an inclinometer which makes it easier to control the drifting angle of the car.

Changelog

• Inclinometer added to show drifting angles and limitations of each car
• New camera added allowing for a greater lean from the focus point
• Redesigned driving UI to correctly show and highlight changes to the drifting point counting system, car speed, drifting angle and other events
• Numerous game setting additions including Gamma, Anti Aliasing, display method etc
• Changed how ‘Kiss The Wall’ and ‘Wall Tap’ events work - these should now be more transparent and forgiving
• Many ‘under the hood’ improvements and fixes

There will also be various fixes and updates to the game that have been reported by the community to enhance the player’s driving experience. As part of the ongoing Early Access development roadmap, ECC Games S.A is working with the community to gather feedback on all aspects of the gameplay and content to ensure that DRIFT21 continues to lead the way in the drift racing simulation genre.
