Getting started with drifting
Step
Velocity Drift puts drifting at the center of everything, and the handling model sits between realistic and arcade. The game tells you to test different cars and see if you can master them.
- Test different cars to find one that suits you
- Run the same map repeatedly to build familiarity with its layout

Alpha version and what to expect
Warn
Velocity Drift is in active alpha development, and the developers are open about that. Updates ship frequently, and features like a dealership and car customization are being worked on but are not in the game yet. Joining the official communications server and the Roblox group is the best way to catch patch notes as they land.
