DriftKing: single-seater drift racing in your browser
Seventeen circuits. Nine cars on the grid. One way to take a corner: sideways, flat on the throttle. Hold a slide to charge a Drift Boost, let go to launch.

Pick your poison
Win a round to unlock the next. Wet and night rounds are not the same animal.
Build it. Break it. Rebuild it.
You start with 500 CR and an empty wallet attitude. Every circuit you clear pays 1000 CR, and the showroom notices.
- Five car tiers, nine liveries
- Prices climb 8% for every circuit cleared
- Daily login pays more the further you get
Tyres change how long the rear stays loose. Underglow and smoke colour change nothing about lap time and everything about how it feels.
- Tyre compounds per car
- Neon underglow, any colour you own
- Coloured tyre smoke and brake sparks
Finish a circuit and the run is saved. Next time a faint cyan car drives your old line. Beat it and it takes the new line.
- One ghost per circuit, saved on your device
- Toggle it on the title screen
- Lives in the corner of your eye, not in your way
Ninety seconds. No grid, no brakes to save you. Chain slides, keep the multiplier alive, leave a number behind for next time.
- Score tracked per circuit
- Combo breaks the moment you touch a wall
- Credits pay out by score
Hands on the board
- W / S Throttle and brake. Arrow keys work too.
- A / D Steering. Small inputs. You are not turning a bus.
- Space Drift (handbrake). Kick the tail out, then hold the angle. Hold it to charge a Drift Boost.
- Shift ERS boost. Hold it on a straight for extra speed. It drains the ERS bar.
- F DRS. Open it in a marked straight after lap 1, close it before the apex.
- C Camera.
Phone: left thumb steers, right thumb drifts. Landscape. Tilt is optional.
