To find out more about what drifting is and how to do it read [[Drifting Techniques]].

==Overview==
The player's drift score is displayed on the left side of the screen, underneath the lap timer box.

==Start of scoring==
The game starts drift scoring when a car satisfies the following conditions,
* At least '''2''' of the wheels are on track, and
* Car speed is above '''10 m/s''', and
* The drift angle (angle between car's orientation and its velocity direction) is more than '''0.2 radian''' (about 11.5 degrees), and less than '''PI/2''' (i.e. spin out).

==End of scoring==
The drift scoring ends when either one the following occurs,
* Less than '''2''' wheels are on track, or
* Car speed is less than '''10 m/s''', or
* The drift angle is less than '''0.1 radian''' (about 5.7 degrees)

==Scoring rules==
At the beginning of a drift, the game starts accumulating the score for this drift. At the end of a drift, the accumulated score is added to the total score.
The accumulated score consists of base score and bonus score;
* '''Base score''' - This is simply the length the car has travelled in this drift (in meters). A longer drift will earn higher base score.
* '''Bonus score''' - This contains 3 components:
** '''drift length bonus''' - same value as the base score, effectively giving double bonus to longer drifts.
** '''maximum drift speed bonus''' - the value is
the maximum drift speed (in m/s) / 2
e.g. a maximum drift speed of 20 m/s will earn a bonus of 10.
** '''maximum drift angle bonus''' - the value is
the maximum drift angle (in radian) * 40 / PI
e.g. a maximum drift angle of PI/4 (45 degrees) will earn a bonus of 10.

If the car goes off track or spins out during a drift, the accumulated drift score is not added to the total score. An accumulated drift score of less than 5 is not added to the total either.

==Overview==
In Practice Game mode, player's drift score is displayed at the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

==Start/end of scoring==
The game starts drift scoring when a car satisfies the following conditions,

# At least '''2''' of the wheels are on track, and
# Car speed is above '''10 m/s''', and
# The drift angle (angle between car's orientation and its velocity direction) is more than '''0.2 radian''' (about 11.5 degrees), and less than '''PI/2''' (i.e. spin out)

The drift scoring ends when either one the following occurs,

# Less than '''2''' wheels are on track, or
# Car speed is less than '''10 m/s''', or
# The drift angle is less than '''0.1 radian''' (about 5.7 degrees)

==Scoring rules==
At the begin of a drift, the game starts accumulating the score for this drift. At the end of a drift, the accumulated score is added to the total score.

The accumulated score consists of base score and bonus score.

# '''Base score''' - This is simply the length the car has traveled in this drift (in meters). A longer drift will earn higher base score.
# '''Bonus score''' - This contains 3 components,
#* '''drift length bonus''' - same value as the base score, effectively giving double bonus to longer drifts.
#* '''max_drift_speed bonus''' - the value is max_drift_speed (in m/s) / 2, e.g. a max_drift_speed of 20 m/s will earn a bonus of 10.
#* '''max_drift_angle bonus''' - the value is max_drift_angle (in radian) * 40 / PI, e.g. a max_drift_angle of PI/4 (45 degrees) will earn a bonus of 10. The max_drift_angle value in degrees is displayed next to the drift score during a drift.

If the car goes off track or spin out during a drift, the accumulated drift score is not added to the total score. An accumulated drift score of less than 5 is not added to the total either.
