The game

How it plays

One car, one camera straight down, and a handbrake. Every track is a short time attack you will want to run again.

  • 01

    Slide, don't grip

    Flick the handbrake into a corner, catch the slide with counter-steer and feed the throttle to hold the angle. The car is built to go sideways.

  • 02

    Chain it for points

    Points come from speed and angle. Stay sideways and the multiplier climbs by ×0.5 every 1.5 seconds, up to ×10. Straighten up for more than half a second and the drift banks.

  • 03

    Three laps, one target

    Every track is a three-lap time attack against a target time. Beat it and the next track unlocks. Touch a wall and the run starts over.

  • 04

    Race your ghost

    Your personal best rides along as a ghost car, so you can see exactly where the time went.

  • 05

    One board per track

    Pick a driver name, first come first served, and your fastest run goes on that track's online leaderboard.

  • 06

    Share the run

    Every finish makes a result card with your time and rank, ready to post on X.

Leaderboard

Every track has its own board, ranked by the total time of your fastest three-lap run. A tie goes to whoever set it first.

There is no account. The first time you post a time you pick a driver name, first come first served, and your browser keeps a private key so the name stays yours.

Questions

FAQ

Is DRIFTIT free?

Yes. It runs in your browser: no download, no install and no account.

Can I play it on a phone?

Driving needs a keyboard or a gamepad, so play on a computer. There are no touch controls.

Which browsers does it run in?

Any current desktop browser with WebGL 2: Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.

How do I unlock more tracks?

Beat a track's target time over three laps and the next one opens. Your unlocks, personal bests and ghosts are saved in your browser.

How does the leaderboard work?

One entry per driver per track: your fastest three-lap total. Names are claimed on first use and stay yours on the device you claimed them from.

What happens when I hit a wall?

On a timed track any wall contact ends the run and it restarts from the grid, so clean lines pay. In the free-roam playground you just lose the drift you were holding.
