Handling coordination in Need For Speed

With the handling tuning, you can determine whether the car can be driven more by drift or with a lot of grip.

• Cars with a lot of grip have the advantage that they don't break out so quickly in the curve. So you can take corners with less loss of speed.
• The advantage of drift cars is style points and significantly better chances in all drift events where you have to collect points.
• Ultimately, the preferred setting depends on each player. In any case, it is advisable to have at least one strong drift car to do better in drift events.
• You can select a driving style with the upper controller. The lower settings are then automatically adjusted.
• Alternatively, you can individually decide the driving style in each category. The top controller then shows the overall trend of the current setting.
