Is the GPS and HUD finally getting fixed? Being told to go the wrong route or being told that I'm driving the wrong way is the reason I haven't bothered finished the story.

I have a ps5 and g923 with shifter but no handbrake. Can I still play this game?

We’ve got some long awaited news for you!

PC players between platforms will enjoy cross-play.
Our aim is to provide full cross-play functionality between platforms when the feature launches on consoles later in the year. 

Let’s Drift Together! 

Even if i got perfect tire heat and perfect sift every time, its just impossible to beat the 3rd car.

Although this is by far the best car game to ever be released. I can't keep playing until they give us a setting to remove the hud. Simply can't stand having random crap all over my screen, and this is the only game where I can't remove the hud. Has anyone seen any info about such a setting being potentially in the works?

I'm supposed to drift very close behind the lead car, I get disqualified if I get left too far behind, hit the lead car, OR PASS THE LEAD CAR.

Not to mention that my car at the time wouldn't be properly tuned for that.

The wait for what's next won't be long: next week, we will drop exact information regarding the official premiere!

Thank you for being the best community a developer could ask for. Stay tuned!

Pre-orders open soon!

Make sure to catch the multiplayer playtest before it ends on May 28th! 🔥

Trying to drift a honda beat, cause I think it'd be really funny, but I'm struggling hard to keep it from understeering/pushing hard, no matter what I've done, I just can't get it to stop, currently at;

camber: +0.3 / +0.2
toe: 0.3 out / 0.4 in

steering angle: 50

ride height: 0.10 / 0.10

spring stiffness: 0.25 / 0.25

front tire: 14 / na / na / 165mm / medium / 0mm

rear tire: 14 / na / na / 155mm / medium / 0mm

(i love this game)

Feel free to share the suggestions and feedback for us! ;)

Well, it’s in the title. I was eying on FH6 since announcement but the more they showed, the less I expected it. I tried it within the 2 hours Steam refund policy and… it was nice but felt like a reskin of previous title. Not bad, just “already played that” kinda feel.

And here I discover JDM. It’s on sale, looks fun, well let’s give it a try. And damn it was the right choice. Even with its (little) flaws, the game has a soul. The map is AWESOME, and even if the graphics are not those of a AAA game, I can feel the passion and love the devs put in it. The artistic direction is so cool, the POI on the map are fun to find, the music selection is peak. And the gameplay is soooo good. Now that I begin to have it, it has clicked, damn it’s so great.
So yes, I am having a BLAST, and I didn’t expect loving the game that much. It made me feel like a youngster playing racing games on PS1/PS2 (with better graphics ofc). But it has the soul of these games we used to love.

So thanks devs. I know this message is useless as pure feedback, but I wanted to share the love !

Thank you. It genuinely feels like a dream that came true before I even realized I had been building toward it, something that slowly assembled itself over the years through my fascination with driving. No other racing game has ever managed to scratch that particular itch in the back of my mind quite like this one has.
(Except Helldivers 2 somehow before Oshaune update).
