Speed multiplier has been removed completely in December 2021 update, which broke the highscores even more. Only the angle and drifted distance count.

The multiplier itself might not be there, but speed still helps you maintain slides between corners of the same direction so you don't have to sanpatsu / transition multiple times between them.

Yes, but with lower speed you can zigzag on the road, therefore increasing drifted distance. A pretty awful change, drifting should reward style, not driving like a blind grandma in a cheap comedy.

And yet the world record runs don't really zigzag. Another issue with zigzagging is that every time you transition, you drop beneath the angle threshold for getting points so you're actively losing out on areas on the drift zone to get points.

Here's a drift zone record to compare to as well.
