I amend my initial statement from "it feels worse now" to  "I prefered the old mechanics"

(this is all my own personal opinion, and most likely could just be a glaring skill issue on my part). 

I preferred the tighter drifting mechanics of the 1.2 release, I found the 1.3 update to be more slippery and less predictable. like controlling on ice.

I suppose it comes down to how much realism you want in the simulation. 1.2 had a more arcade-y feel to it which I prefer, and 1.3 has a more realistic feel which i'm sure some other people in the community prefer. 

Maybe you could add an option in  the settings for how you want the drifting to feel, so people who like the new and the old style can still enjoy it the way they want. This will, however, change the amount of effort you will need to put in for supporting speedrunning as i'm sure there will be people who are faster on one setting or the other

Overall, I appreciate that it isn't a finished product yet and hope you won't take this as me saying your game is now terrible because it most definitely isn't. Also, please don't just use my experience, ask others in the community on what they prefer

ps: I love the new track

The new drifting feels worse (in my opinion) in the 1.3.1 update compared to 1.2...

Hell yeah new driftline peaks update  :)

The game used to run at solid 60fps at max graphics on my mac, but now it lags like hell and is super unstable averaging around 15fps no matter my graphics settings

Hey man, I just realised why I was getting stuck, it was because I didn't know how to shift into reverse. I kept holding down "s" to no avail, when I randomly pressed "q" by accident, I realised that that's how you shift into reverse. I realise that the game doesn't have all the features yet, but maybe when the game is finished, when the car is in automatic mode, make long pressing "s" be reverse, and when in manual mode, do what you're doing now which is to shift with "q" and "e" 

however, the launching bug did actually happen.

Anyway, I think the game is really promising, I love the game and especially its controls, I cant wait for it to be fully available and ready!

I love the game, but there's a really annoying bug where, if you hit a gutter, you get stuck and you cant move, so you have to restart. One time, I got launched into the void by doing that
