    Please browse to 1m34s for drifting
    I am trying out drifting in the new tyre model as shown in the above video using BMW E30 M3, but I cannot do it as smoothly as shown above, what is the secret?

    When I do it, it is very difficult to keep the car sliding in a constant angle using throttle

    Really looking forward to it.. Hopefully it will attract new group of players and new revenue to make raceroom famous.

    Especially it has so many competitors out there doing circuit racing recently like acc, iracing, lmp, rf2

    Drift events are a crowd puller, especially in Japan, the USA and in the European Dirft Masters series. Drifting is in a different league than the classic motorsport, so virtual drifting events are primarily interesting for the Red Bull and Monster Energy Drink generation, in other words the classic Playstation community. Let's see if one or the other iRacing dirt track racing fan will be inspired by the driving at an angle on asphalt.

    - Nissan Skyline R32, R33, R34
    - Toyota Chaser X90, X100
    - BMW E36
    - Chevy Camaro XXX
