Clutch is an effort to create the closest to real life car drifting simulation but in a “game” form. The goal is to create a professional level game that closest simulates real driving with the largest support for modding. The secondary goal is to mimic the fun of real life drifting and community.

About this game
About This Game
Clutch is a realistic drifting simulator built for drivers who want to master car control, not just rack up points.
Every part of the experience is designed around authentic drifting. Weight transfer, throttle control, clutch kicks, steering inputs, and tire behavior all work together to reward proper technique. Whether you're learning your first donut or refining tandem proximity, Clutch is built to help you become a better driver.
Unlike general racing simulators, Clutch focuses entirely on drifting. Practice solo, compete with friends online, or build your own content through an open modding system.
Features
Realistic drifting physics designed around driver technique
Formula Drift inspired judging with line and angle scoring
Multiplayer tandem drifting and dedicated servers
Replay system with ghost runs for practicing and competing against yourself
Live tire tuning and editable tire models
Open modding support for cars, tracks, and physics
VR support
Triple monitor support
Steering wheel, pedal, H-pattern, and handbrake support
Sandbox spectator mode with movable props and interactive environments
Built for the Community
Clutch is developed with direct community feedback and is actively updated with new features, physics improvements, and quality-of-life changes. Whether you're a real-world drifter, an experienced sim driver, or someone looking to learn, your feedback helps shape the future of the simulator.
If your goal is to understand drifting instead of simply driving sideways, Clutch was built for you.

Clutch v0.2.5: Better Behind the Wheel
v0.2.5 is a major update to driving physics, Force Feedback, hardware support, and overall setup quality. A lot of the work in this release is focused on making Clutch feel better behind the wheel while also making it easier to get into the car and drive. Driving & Force Feedback New tire physics model with improved behavior across grip, slip, transitions, and sustained drifting. Front and rear tires can now be configured independently, allowing more realistic and flexible vehicle setups. Vehicle physics have been reworked to better support the new tire model and improve overall vehicle behavior. Added a new tire-model-based Force Feedback mode (Type 4), using tire and steering forces more directly to produce steering feedback. Added automatic wheelbase FFB adjustment, helping different wheelbases produce sensible force levels with less manual tuning. Added VR support for adjusting the driver's seating position in-car. Added an option to hide the steering wheel, useful for physical cockpit setups and certain VR configurations. Added additional vehicle setup options, including VR canvas positioning. Vehicle setup files can now support live-updated settings, making car configuration changes easier to test and tune. Easier Setup The control setup wizard now opens automatically on first launch, helping new players get driving faster. Improved the setup wizard with automatic axis inversion detection and min/max calibration. Improved wizard feedback so axis inversion and control-state changes are represented correctly in the UI. Control icons now correctly reset their orientation between wizard steps. Graphics settings now save automatically, without requiring an additional save action in the launcher. Added automatic respawning if the car falls off the map. No more staring into the void contemplating your mistakes. Multiplayer Servers now enforce their configured tire setup, ensuring everyone is driving on the intended tires. Added additional telemetry around player setu...Read full article on Community Announcements (Yoshi Jeffery)
