VDrift Review - Free Software For Drifting Enthusiasts

If you're an avid drifting fan, you'll love VDrift. It's an open-source driving simulation with a focus on drift racing, powered by a Vamos physics engine. VDrift is available for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Windows, Cygwin, and more. The game features 28 different cars and real-world tracks. You'll also have access to real-world cars and basic replay systems.

The game was created by Joe Venzon, a long-time fan of the Gran Turismo series, but was disappointed in GT4's physics. The developer searched online for a better physics simulator, and found the open-source Vamos Automotive Simulator. It had better performance than the GT4 version, but had poor graphics. With this in mind, he built VDrift around this engine. Since its inception, every release has been tested and developed to ensure quality.

The game is free to download and play on Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD. It features various real-world tracks and thirteen different cars. It has two game modes, single race and practice mode. You can also play against three computer opponents. The game's controls menu is confusing and obstructive, which can make it difficult to get around. It's an open-source game and can be played on many platforms.
