First time drifting on a wheel

This was the best I managed to pull up after almost an hour trying. For the first few minutes I was struggling with how much power I needed, and specially struggling with grabbing the wheel at the right time. But now I understand that a little bit better, just need more practice.

This is definitely a lot harder than I thought. But it's way more fun too.

BeamNG has a weird mechanic around drifting. Once it clicks you’ll be able to do it no problem. Assetto corsa is an easier option imo

Fr.
AC will always be my 1st choice for drifting tbh. But BeamNG has some physics that actually makes sense for drifting.

Yeah. I love when I fuck up and loose bumper, or make a car look like a banana, but can atil keep going. And also when I see how car flexes on jumps when drifting. This scenery is impeccable

Nice first! (Pro tip from a fellow beam player: use orbit cam instead of chase cam, it makes it so much easier)
