CarX Drift Racing Online Updates Physics And Adds Cars

Originally released in 2017, a fairly major change has been released as CarX Drift Racing Online updates physics and adds cars among other improvements.

The 2.15.00 update has gone live with a number of fixes and developments to the drifting game. Two of the biggest changes are the arrival of engine swaps, and the big overhaul of car physics. But you also get two new cars with the Rina and Sensei.

Physics details include new types of differentials (open, locked, viscous and blocked), and new front suspension parameters for the kingpin angle and steering axis offset. Force Feedback has also been optimised with new controller settings to include prediction for offsetting input lag, stablisation, inertia, and choosing to use a non-feedback wheel as a controller, which adds an assistent similar to that for gamepads.

While cars in the game are unlicensed, the new Rina looks somewhat like a 1988 Toyota Mark II GX71, while the Sensei is rather similar to the Nissan GT-R in production since 2007.
