DRIFTCE is a New Drift Simulator Sliding onto Consoles this Spring

Most modern racing games let you practice your sideways driving skills in separate drift modes. But dedicated drift games are surprisingly rare. One exception is DRIFT21.

Developed by Polish studio ECC Games (best known for Car Mechanic Simulator and GearShift), Drift 21 is renowned as one of the most realistic drift simulators. Now, a console version of Drift 21 is coming to consoles, renamed DRIFTCE (Drift Console Edition).
