How's the handling?

[Khaz]

I don't like drifting, does the car grip to the road if I set it up to be that way?

It grips, It's really nice handling in my opinion. Traction can be turned on and off on the fly also.

Not expecting anything like a GT3 car, but if it's not gonna try to drift every time I turn like in NFS, it sounds good. Thanks!

By on the fly you mean at the press of a button or visiting the menu? Is traction off required for drifting? is this the reason why basically every video I've seen the opening scene looks completely ridiculous because that porsche won't slide at such slow speed like the car you're supposed to follow?

Handling is terrible, way worse than Carx drift.. the main problem is you cant turn off the Handling assist and it wants you to DRIIIIIIIIIIIFT so if you dont want to do that it will fight you all the time. Also this is a PRESS A TO DRIFT game

Feels nice, tho im not a racing game expert. it feels kinda like need for speed but a bit heavier. i dont like drifting much aswell and i dont have any problems with it "gliding" or drifting more than i want it to. there is also alot to customize and optimize

Handling is very realistic on a wheel. I'm using a G29.

Once they update the game itll be good. I expect you can turn off more assists by december otherwise solar crown will be the game to play

Cars understeer a lot. How can an m5 not make a turn at 70-80 km/hr and just understeers through the entire thing. But you can drift a turn at 130 km/hr like wtf? But the drifting doesn't feel like carx it feels worse. Call me pessimistic but it feels like they forgot to adjust it from the mobile game where they want your tires to wear out as fast as possible so you buy credits. I still really want to like the game and am not refunding just yet though

are we playing the same game? when i picked my car, did my first race, car constantly tried to go into drifts at every corner with traction control on and entering corners at low speeds. It was irritating, especially since i just want to race, i dont care for drifting at all. im using a g29 with moza pedals, handling was far from "very realistic"

I think it's too early to really judge the handling model, as cars have several upgrade options and tuning settings.

The Civic you can start with feels weighty and tends to understeer unless you slow down for corners. Don't expect to turn the car and be on rails at full speed.

As mentioned, you can map Traction Control to a button and toggle it on/off on the fly or via a radial menu.

There seems to be some assists. Same like original carx. They should patch it in soon

[burgerbait]

Hmmmmm. People saying the cars oversteer too much, people saying the cars understeer too much. Interesting.

Some claim its handbrake to drift only but you actualy can drift when going over your grip limit ... handling feels all over the place in the beginning but gets better with upgrades. The collision physics though are pretty bad D:

If you played the previous game then youll be familiar. Anyone trashing the physics isnt familiar with the series and doesnt know how to start tuning their cars. Probabaly quite a few bumbling boomers too that cant handle it. Game is fine in terms of physics. Though you can refund it and pick it up later when it gets even better
