Just curious, what do you change about the car's physics when the space bar is pressed?
The game is fully open source :)

The car controller is actually just an invisible physics ball that rolls around. And the car model positions is set to the balls center position. When space is pressed you can’t accelerate much anymore, but you turn faster and there is less friction on the ball.
Thanks for the reply, that makes a lot of sense. I was thinking about making a drifting game for a while :)
Hey. Congratulations. Your game took third place during the Totally Ranked Holiday Jam. Let me know how you want to receive your reward. Also, I played your game and included it in a video. I finished it, but I did not record it fully because i accidentally paused the recording software. I will replay it again on my future streams.
Sorry that I could not do it earlier. I had substantial family issues these days.
I like the cheats you can achieve here! XD It's awesome!
Are you the 47s madman? Hahaha, don't want to give too much away but me and my friends last night were hitting 15s, checkout the back of the starting zone ;)
That was fun, I managed to get 63.89s
