Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

89/100

CarX Drift Racing 2 is easily one of the most technical and rewarding racing games on the App Store. Unlike arcade racers where you just tap a button to slide, this game requires a deep understanding of weight transfer, throttle control, and counter-steering. It’s a simulation through and through, and when you finally nail a perfect tandem drift, the feeling is incredible.

The customization is where the game really pulls ahead. You aren't just changing colors; you're adjusting tire pressure, suspension stiffness, and engine tuning to find the perfect drift setup. The online multiplayer is robust, allowing you to compete in real-time or ghost-style tandem battles. The graphics are console-quality, with detailed car models and smoke effects that make every race feel cinematic. It’s a must-play for any automotive enthusiast.

Tips & Walkthrough

Learning to Drift

Start in 'Training' mode. Use the handbrake to initiate a slide, then counter-steer by moving your wheel in the opposite direction of the turn. Feather the throttle—don't just floor it! If you spin out, you're using too much power. If you straighten up, you need more angle. Practice maintaining a consistent arc before moving to tandem battles.

Gameplays

XDS Tandem Racing

In XDS mode, you'll race twice. First as the Leader, where you must follow a clean line, and second as the Follower, where you must stay as close to the leader as possible without hitting them. You are scored based on the CarX Evaluation System, which mimics real-life professional drifting judging criteria.

My favorite game but.

Fri Sep 25 2026 iSayHowItIs

Theres a few frustrating thins that are easy fixes. 1 the new speedometer is horrible the old one was better as I would place it inside my map and it would blend together well. Now it covers almost the whole map. Add an option to revert back to original. 2: I play using arrows and it’s extremely inconsistent. Sometimes you’ll literally be pressing the arrow button and it doesnt register at all. For me the MOST frustrating thing is that the bottom of the arrows do NOT work at all. This is where my thumbs naturally want to press them and there are countless times i end up driving straight into a wall because it wont register. Some days its way worse than others. This is coming from one of the top players in multiplayer battles. Please fix this one is HUGE. 3: the online inconsistencies. Some servers my car has extreme grip and control like it does when youre tuning your car or playing singleplayer. Other servers make your car feel like it has no control, slippery, cant hold the same angle, slow acceleration, etc. To the average player they may think theyre having bad day, but to someone like me I just end up logging off if the servers feel like this. There seems to be a pattern to it aswell. Certain times of the day play better than others. And honestly it needs to be said. 95% of people dont give a **** about carx3. Its a terrible game guys. Get all the team involved on X2 and this game can have a complete makeover like pubg did which is why it blew up at one point.

Best mobile drifting simulation game ever

Fri Oct 30 2020 mrchip21

I loved this game its awesome it has the best graphics ever and all the awesome cars and customization and tuning options its super awesome to get your car sideways and have some fun it really the best all the events ,maps and the others things are truly awesome there are no games that can compite with it and you can have some fun with a friend and do some tandems sadly thats the only way you can play with a friend but u can have fun still even alone its the best experience i would love a online lobby like car x playstation/ xbox and pc but maybe its hard for the developers to do that or make a room to try things out with someone but its fine maybe in the future we will get something like that but yes its still the best car game mobile i dont like saying these things but maybe just maybe before a online lobby or something i would really loveee to time attack some maps and beat some track times like car x (ps/xbox and pc) and make the best tune and with all he variety’s of cars and tuning options it would be fun to try to beat the best time on the leaderboard and get some rewards like weekly best time or something like that to see who can be the best drifter and time attacker ever because there’s allot of maps to try and beat some times and experience something new and see if you better than yours friends maybe but overall its the best game hope it stays that way for years #1 drifting game mobile

BEST MOBILE DRIFT GAME (things I want to see and know more about)

Fri Jul 23 2021 xNexusuxeNx

Hands down one of the best mobile drift games. I love everything about the game but there are a few things I would want. I know we got an update that added a few new cars like the rattlesnake and such but I would want to see more cars like a hiace drift van because it has been done in real life. I would like to see a fully online feature come to the game or a separate game for mobile from you guys. It gets lonely on mobile doing tandems by myself and I have friends who are also interested in the game but won’t commit to downloading it because we can’t play together in real time. What I ask can be tough but I think it would be worth it. Also if you can cross play with other platforms like console or pc. Unless there is an online feature that I don’t know about. Also do the special cars come back or it’s once it’s gone it’s gone forever type of style? There are some special cars i missed out on like the Patron GT and I want to know if it they comeback because I’ve seen it happen with the razor zx and flanker f but with different liveries. I missed out on them and I just want to know if they might make a little comeback. But anyways that’s really all I could think of. Thanks for the amazing game and keep up the amazing work, can’t wait to see what happens next!

Great game but videos don’t reward anymore

Sun Apr 24 2022 InsainBrane

I love the driving and the cars in this game, but I hate that the events are limited by the gas tank currency. I of course go through the 5 free ones that generate over time fairly quickly so I normally will play a couple videos and refill the tank but lately that doesn’t seem to work. I watch the video and it says “reward granted” but I don’t receive it. That also goes for regenerating the tasks, I watch the video to load the next task instead of having to wait the 3 hours for it to respawn a new one, get done the video and the 3 hour timer is still counting down and no new task. I’m fine with watching a video to trade for things but it enrages me when I waste my time watching a video, knowing you’re getting your kick back for me watching the video, and I get nothing for it. The amount of micro transactions in this game and the cost of them is already ridiculous but taking away the ability to watch ads for in game content adds insult to injury and only results in me playing the game less. This game has a ton of potential, the production value is amazing, but you ruin it with micro transactions and hard to earn currency and fuel and premium passes. I would actually pay significant real money to have an unlocked version of this game that would remove all that crap so I could just play the game but sadly that isn’t an option. I guess I’ll just stick to carx online on my PlayStation because that was done right

Best drift game on mobile by far, nothing else compares

Sun Aug 23 2020 PowerJoke802

This is by far the best drift game on mobile, may even go as far as saying the best vehicle game on here. The physics, graphics, tracks, customization, I’m depth tuning and many other things are better than a lot of console games to be honest, and you can tell that the devs truly care about this game, they update quite often and always add cool and interesting things with great heart and soul put into it. There are a good number of vehicles to choose from with tons of options to make it yours, there’s now a campaign which I find really cool, tandem drifts, online battles, solo runs, and even just training where you can go on any course with free will to practice. I’ve played a ton of the first game and a boat load of this one and can’t ever put it down, probably my favorite game on my phone, no doubt. It’s not pay to win, you can earn quite a bit of the real money currency by completing challenges which I really appreciate, even though I do throw some real money on it once and while just because it’s such a great game that these guys truly deserve some cash to keep this going. I don’t think I could say that about any other game on here, which is saying a lot. Thank you guys for creating this incredible masterpiece, keep it up, can’t wait to see what you all come up with next!

Love the game but it has problems to fix

Sun Feb 12 2023 slattynugs

I spend a lot of money on this game , let’s say I join. An online game and I have 25 minutes of Fuel to play if I change my mind and don’t want this map and I didn’t waste any of my minutes cause I hopped off the game quick and I want to change it as soon as I to back to menu and choose another map or even the same map it automatically takes away 5 of my minutes, that’s definitely not cool. Another thing is that let’s say I’m doing good on a drift session if I hit a sign or pole anything that can get thrown when you crash it sometimes it may get stuck and lag into your car and juts stay there till you either start the session over or press the return button when you crash. Other then a few minor things the game is amazing I think it has a lot of potential and capabilities I also think there should be some kind of damage to the cars when hit or crashing out or maybe just when getting hit by another car but this damage effect would only happen when online with other players . and add like A little shop where u can quickly fix it. Like I said amazing game I’m I play it on my breaks at work or before bed so much fun keep it up !

What happen to Time attack

Fri Jan 24 2020 Could you make it not crash

Amazing game just one problem what happened to the good old days when there was back to back racing hardcore really nice physics and everything u could ask for racing drifting like in car x drift racing but in cars drift racing 2 it chocked big time in this department you guys just completely dropped the amazing feeling the back to back racing the grind you’d put in to become the best what happened to cruising down the track at a shocking 190mph what happened to the adrenaline filled racing that this game offered the physics in car x drift racing were insane 120mph actually felt fast for once in a game knowing that one bit of oversteer can mess up that perfect lap the lap that you’ve been working up to your entire life and now you just blew your shot the shot at the title the title to hold the world’s fastest lap for, that track but since you blew it you lost your shot but you get back at cause the second times always the prime time and if you don’t get it that time around well the 3rd time is always the charm and to having that feeling that it will be just as fun to do it all over agin for a shot at the title that’s what made the good old days something special that’s something you gotta love “(I my self held the title at the two tracks for 3rd and 4th)”anyway great game overall just add racing and keep up the good work I’d really like to make it 4 stars and if u add racing back and multiplayer lobby’s u can bet I’ll bet my whole left leg I’ll come back and rate this game a full 5 stars have a nice day otherwise 😁

Everyone is hacking the game to get on the leaderboards, it’s starting to get out of hand

Sat Jul 30 2022 GHOST012_DIESEL_MASTER

In the game’s earlier time, everyone who did really well and got on the leaderboards were actually using skill, and now every replay of everyone on the leaderboards is using a way to instantly give them 100k drift score, or they are drifting through the map like a ghost just racking up points. Now there is only one driver who is on the leaderboards that does it right. The thing says that to be on the leaderboard, you can’t stop the drift at any time in a run and you must not take part in any ghost tandem challenges. But at the end it says cheaters will be punished. So where is the punishment for cheating there way onto the leaderboards? Nobody else has done anything and the people using the cheats and glitches don’t even hide it. All I’m asking is for someone to install some type of coding that identifies when these changes happen. I’m not on the leaderboards and I’m fine with that. I don’t care to be on the leaderboards, I just want this to be felt with before it gets out of hand. Plz fix this, I hate seeing these type of people take the hard work of other players and cover it with their own cheats.
