Drift 21 Improves The Driving Model And Adds The Mazda RX-8

June 6, 2020 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment

Big news for fans of drifting as ECC Games have released a new build of their Early Access drift sim. And the update for Drift 21 improves the driving model and adds the Mazda RX-8 to the game.

Both are sizeable changes within the list of tweaks and improvements. The Drift21 car list has expanded to four cars with the addition of the last rotary production car from the Japanese manufacturer. So it’s still a small list, but at least there’s more variation coming along, and hopefully we’ll see more and more cars added to the game in the coming months.

Major changes to the driving model, tyre physics, suspension parameters and force feedback settings will be a big change in how the cars drive and drift. And it probably won’t please everyone, but shows that ECC Games are certainly responding to the initial feedback from the Drift 21 community. So that’s certainly a positive, and you’d imagine improvements will get more refined for both wheel and controller drifters as the game continues to evolve.
