Drifting Formula Drift Tracks in BeamNG - How bad could it be?!? - Wheel gameplay
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
In this BeamNG.drive gameplay video, the host Evil Rabbit takes a factory Formula Drift car to test its drifting capabilities on several iconic tracks within the simulation. Starting at the Esda Long Beach Circuit, he initially expresses concern about using such a heavy vehicle for drifting but quickly discovers that the car handles surprisingly well despite being described as a "boat." Throughout the session, he enjoys experimenting with different setups and mods, noting that while the physics engine allows for fun crashes, the car eventually sustains significant damage to its transmission and clutch after aggressive maneuvers and wall taps.
The video then transitions to the Texas Motor Speedway circuit from the Bido series, where the host attempts to navigate a highly banked track without destroying the vehicle. He struggles with maintaining traction on the steep inclines, often finding himself in too high of a gear or failing to manage wheel chatter effectively. Although he manages to complete runs and even performs some wall rides reminiscent of James Dean's style, the open nature of the track means that while catastrophic failures are rare, the car still accumulates damage from sliding off course and hitting barriers.
Finally, the host tackles the Esda Irwindale track, which features extreme banking angles that challenge the car's power and handling limits. He experiments with shifting into fifth gear to maintain momentum on the steep sections but ultimately faces repeated failures where the car gets stuck or crashes into walls due to incorrect approach angles. Despite the inevitable destruction of the vehicle by the end of the session, he praises the game's realistic crash physics and expresses enthusiasm for future content involving more drift cars and multiplayer mods to enhance the drifting experience.

our front wheel's definitely messed
up oh yeah oh we don't have a front
wheel
okay hello everybody I'm evil rabbit
we're here on beam nng and if this track
looks familiar it's because we're here
on the esda Long Beach Circuit here on
BNG with one of the factory drift cars
we're going to go full send on a couple
D tracks here in beam and see if we
can't get something with it and not like
totally destroy the cars but that's what
beam and G is for so make sure you guys
follow me on all social media found
description box below let's get into
this so we decided to pick the biggest
possible car we could um just because
I'd like the V8 power in this car but
this thing is a this thing's a boat so
I'm not sure how well it's going to do
here at Long Beach but we're just going
to go full send and uh see what
[Music]
happens
supercharged oh cut that a little
close but overall not too shabby
oh oh that was that was too much of a
flick I mean overall that was way better
than I thought it was going to be I
thought we were going to wreck but
uh that wasn't too
bad and having a
lot oh that car wasn't solid I thought
that car was going to be
solid we did kind of glance the wall a
little bit I don't know if I did any
damage so we're just going to get a
[Music]
freshy but I've been having a lot of fun
here on beam uh with my caic setup
because it feels so good right now and
uh I'm uh super excited to be drifting
in beam again hopefully I'm going to
start installing some mods again and
stuff like that trying to get uh some
other I just damaged my
clutch or my
syros hopefully get some uh other drift
cars and stuff here in the game so I'm
definitely going to
be doing that I did damage my engine or
Trans on that but well full s
fourth gear
hit early
initiation they'll cut that a little
[Music]
short oh just a oh we're dead oh I knew
that was going to happen I tapped that
wall and I could not recover I should
have jammed on the brakes we uh kind of
uh oh yeah we're uh oh yeah we
definitely broke broke we getting towed
off
well Fresh
Car utilizing my button controls over
here and for some reason I decide to
stall the car out we do have my ignition
quite nice to have this all over here
super excited about
it we got to try like I said we got two
more other FD tracks we're going to go
try
we got to get a good
solid solid run
here warm up them tires a little bit oh
there we go all right pull
send really need to get the multiplayer
mod and everything going
[Music]
again we're close to that wall we didn't
tap it oh
kind of drag that out a little
bit oh I shifted way too early and did a
lot of damage to that
trans so not the best so now we're going
to go full pull on
send and we're going to try and uh do a
little wall
toall James Dean you know Forest Wing
Style
[Music]
oo this car handles really well not
going to
lie cuz you know this is BNG we got to
definitely uh do a little uh wall tap
and maybe knock a bumper off part of the
big a big Wing gang going on on this car
though
[Music]
that's not the wall the wall I
wanted that is definitely not the wall
to wall I wanted but we're going to
change up tracks go to the next one so
the next track we're taking a look at
here is if you guys remember the Bido
series circuit Texas Motor Speedway on
[Music]
aeto so we're going to go here and do
this here and see we can't get really
close to the outer wall on the last turn
but not die and of course we have a
really you know aggressive banked track
to finish this episode off you guys are
enjoying bm& content let me know down in
the comment section down
below sink
[Music]
fail I don't know if we're going to have
the coone oh way off of
course way off line there
too O A Little Wheel
chatter A Little Wheel chatter unlock oh
jeez so not how I wanted to enter not
well not how I wanted to go through the
middle section we're going to try it
again this track is very open so it's
not uh catastrophically failing
we're like damage but we're off course
car slides a little more than I wanted
it
[Music]
[Applause]
to really long dirty eere upb little
wall tap but nothing so Texas not as fun
when you're by yourself definitely would
need to be a tandem track so go try one
more track so when I said I had a high
banked track you kind of probably
figured where we're going uh we're at
esda Irwindale and we're going to go
full send and see if we can't do some
aggressive wall rides here and not
destroy the car or destroy the
car pick your bets down below if we're
going to destroy the car if we're
actually going to
like complete a laugh here at
Irwindale have no idea how this is can
handle Banks
so okay so we're running out of gear
there probably need to do fifth
there
W
yep whe chatter though
[Music]
all right so probably have to do fifth
gear on the bank hopefully we have
enough power to go fifth gear there and
then fourth on the intersection
so hopefully we have enough power to go
fifth we're going to try cuz fourth
teams to not have enough to stay up on
the bank
[Music]
I mean douple wall TS yeah fifth gear is
definitely the gear to go for
[Music]
there oh we yep you knew that was going
to happen that was not the right angle
approach and we just caved our
wheel oh be is so much fun let's try it
again and not do I'm going to try a
little bit lower on the bank so we don't
like just wall tap it
all the
time I need to do some fine tuning on
some of these cars with like actual
setups so I can maybe eliminate that
chatter and not use handbrake as much
but in beam sometimes you kind to use a
lot of handbrake for some reason all
right we'll
[Music]
send this gear
try medium to
[Music]
high
oh I tried to just back it in and not
destroy the car but I think the car is
okay we got a little n we're a little
wonky we got enough car to do another
run I love the I love the crash physics
in this game that's why I'm so glad that
a lot of the mods are coming into it
finally all right one final run make
sure you guys follow me at all social
media found description box below you
guys coming back for another video don't
know how this is going to work with the
way the back wheel is oh oh no oh we got
sucked in the wall our front wheel's
definitely messed
up oh yeah oh we don't have a front
wheel okay
rabbit I'll see you guys on the
track oh man
[Music]
