Racing Game Drift! - Compete in the Drift Championship

"Drift!" is a racing game developed by ZOSYA entertainment in 2019 for the ZX Spectrum 128K. The game features five cars, each with unique specifications, and allows players to compete against 16 rival drivers across six stages set in real-world locations. The tracks are rendered in 3D using polygonal graphics, providing an immersive racing experience. Players can choose between right-hand and left-hand drive and must manage car damage and repairs.

Gameplay revolves around the Drift Championship, where players start with £2500 and two cars: SABRINA and JULIA. Each car has three parameters: handling, speed, and brakes. Players can select any car for any stage and must strategically manage their resources, including paying starting fees and repair costs. The ultimate goal is to unlock all cars and win the championship.

Each stage consists of two rounds with different track configurations. Players compete in qualification heats and a final run, racing against a grid of eight rivals. Scoring is based on time, drift performance, and penalties. The game challenges players to achieve the best drift scores while avoiding penalties for hitting cones, cutting corners, and going off-track.

The game is notable for its dynamic features, such as a mini-map during races, realistic engine sounds, AY music, and sampled speech. Players can also enjoy 360-degree panoramas and dynamic shadows, enhancing the visual experience. "Drift!" offers a challenging and strategic racing experience, blending classic gameplay with modern features.
