I haven`t played the game in months and I just uninstalled it the other week to make room for other games (I`m on PC with a controller by the way) they were probably not the highest scores either.

I`m just saying I haven`t had any issues drifting or racing on simulation mode for over 100 hours, that`s it.
I`m not a massive drifter in this game, I just play it for fun and do normal races more than drifting, all the difficulties bumped up to the max or near max with all assists turned off.

I literally do not know what the game plays like using normal steering since ever since I played FH3 when it got released on PC I just set it to simulation as that`s meant to be more "realistic" and never looked back.
