Much like handling itself, sense of speed is something you experience and we are confident this is something that will come across when you hit the streets of Palm City later this year. This is something that is usually hard to communicate in a video game due to the lack of forces acting on your body. With the speeds while drifting severely reduced we have been hard at work as a team to improve the sense of speed. A third option to enter drift is to use the handbrake, which is preferably used in tighter corners and hairpins.

Tuning of the brake bias can also be done to allow the brakes to transfer weight to the front wheels, causing the rear wheels to lose grip and enter a drift. Simply stabbing the throttle while steering hard will make the tires lose enough grip to allow it to drift.

Drifting has also been reworked to allow players to use the power of the engine to get the car into a drift or power slide. This meant that we have had to work with exposing and balancing everything from steering, differential, clutch, brake bias, all the way to the tire model itself. We wanted to allow experienced and dedicated players to be able to build a car, tuning it closer to real world expectations, and be able to beat someone who has left their car remain at stock handling. We have also worked with the drifting mechanic and especially the so called brake-to-drift mechanic side effect. This also allows players to tune their cars away from the more balanced stock handling, which skilled players might find too easy and 'arcade', towards a more realistic grip handling or drift handling depending on which you prefer. For example, having a powerful engine while still having stock tires or gearbox. This will allow a vehicle to have an asymmetric and 'non-optimal' but fun to drive handling set up. Even though this handling model has generally been received very well among a large part of our audience, at Ghost we have always felt there was room for improvement. One particular side effect of allowing vehicles to pull off drifts is that this also becomes the only way to negotiate corners if you want to set the fastest time on an event, which is of course not how real life racing works. At the core of the handling model has been the ability to pull off huge drifts at high speeds, while also battling with cops, outrunning your opponents and constantly having to avoid oncoming traffic.

The handling model in the NFS series has always been aimed more towards an arcade style driving, with the exception of the Shift series.
