Burnout Drift

Full-throttle drifting on open roads, where the tyres are treated as consumable.

Burnout Drift

Committed is the word for it. The car wants to be sideways, the throttle is best kept open, and lifting off is treated as a mistake rather than a safety measure — which makes it more forgiving than a simulator and considerably louder.

Open roads mean long linked sequences are possible, and the score reflects sustained angle rather than corner count.

It is a good entry point for anyone who finds simulation drifting frustrating and wants the feeling without the setup.

Boost is available and best spent straightening out of a long slide rather than entering one.

Controls

Arrows to drive, space for the handbrake, shift for boost.

How to Play

  1. Enter the corner fast and use the handbrake to rotate.
  2. Keep the throttle open to hold the angle.
  3. Counter-steer smoothly rather than sharply.
  4. Link sections of road for the highest score.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to lift off the throttle to control the drift?

Rarely. This one holds the slide on throttle and counter-steer, and lifting usually straightens the car.
