Top Down Racer Prototype

Simple top down racer prototype with two different handling simulations.

In the simple simulation, the tyres have two possible grip levels. Once the heading and velocity vectors differ by a specified threshold, the grip levels drop to the lower of the two. Only when the difference between the heading and velocity vectors is below a second threshold does the grip return to the initial level.

In the advanced simulation weight transfer and tyre slip angles are used to provide a more realistic handling model. Speed sensitive steering is also implemented to improve realism.

Left/Right or A/D to steer. Up/Down or W/S for throttle/brake. Space for handbrake in realistic handling mode.
