i am drifting in this game since some years now AND i am drifting in RL
BUT
the tire heat/grip isnt realistic imo, lets say, road normal is a Conti Premium Contact, maybe a sebring or kleber
maybe its just my imagination, but those tires arent losing AT ALL so much grip like the tires in lfs do if they heat up
if the tires in lfs would be realistic, daaaaaammmmn, after 30minutes drifting IRL with a set of tires, i could do 500meter drifts on a straight with a 180sx because the tires wouldnt had any grip anymore because they are so hot
now THAT's what i call realistic
