Drift King (Deleted, might come back)[]

Description[]

It is one of the most unpopular races in the game, located in the dock and it is known as extremely glitchy.

Tuning[]

It's recommended to equip Rocket Fuel, Drift Tires, Ludicrous engine and Quad Turbo

Tips[]

To win the race, when the countdown was finished, spam pressing X key (Makes your car jump), Shift (Nitro) and Space (To breaks and drift) until the *drifting scores* (orange background, white numbers located under your screen) pop out. Then, move your car through every check point and finish the race while the drifting scores is increasing.

Optional : Either that or ignore everything here and just do donuts with an 86. (of course...don't sink)

This gamemode is deleted in the 2020/4/18 update.

Race Track[]

Mazda RX7 Sport X Cheap and extremely fast. Can get 62 seconds when driven by a highly experienced driver.
Saleen S7 Super X X This car is 'grippy' and is not good at drifting, so use this if you prefer to grip more. Can easily get under 60 when driven right.
Lamborghini Veneno Super X A very fast car with a good amount of oversteer. doesn't need the handbrake to drift, just let off the throttle.
Bugatti Veyron Supersport Super X Forgiving, stable, and a very high top speed with good handling. Can easily get under 65 when driven well.
Porsche 918 Spyder Super X Its a good allrounder, very grippy and can corner at high speeds.

McLaren Senna Super X It has a good top speed, it grips well, it can get around 60-68 seconds if done well. But it does slide, so be careful
Lamborghini Huracan Super X Despite its top speed, if used correctly, it can get in the 60's zone, you can grip or powerslide
Koenigsegg Jesko Super X This car is amazing, it has really good handling, and very good drifting, depsite its weak braking, it is still very good, you just gotta use the handbrake and start drifting. Once you master this, you can get around 55 seconds
Toyota Supra Sport X Using the drag slicks, you DON'T grip, but drift.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Super X Like the Supra, use drag slicks and drift.

Hill Climb[]

Description[]

This race is located under the north side of the biggest mountain in the game. You will need an off-road vehicle-such as a Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk.

Tuning[]

In this race, you still don't want to lose control-so you can only have a grip and off-road setup.

Setup[]

Monster truck ride height, off-road tires, Ludacris engine, Rocket fuel and Quad Turbo.

Tip[]

  1. You may press X to jump if you meet a high ramp;
  2. To be a pro in this race, you'll need some practice and be careful of the route, or you will fall during the race. Since this race doesn't have a checkpoint except the finish line, players must plan their route well before the race starts, and you'll need a good OFF-ROAD vehicle like these below-

Recommended Cars[]

Jeep Trackhawk

SUV X No. 1. Recommened, easy to drive, easy to use, easy to win.
Tesla Cybertruck Electric X Not sure if this car works, but this is a nice choice for poor players.
Rip Rod™ Special X No. 2. Recommended, But be careful when climbing the last part of the race. It will flip easily (side-flip), so make sure you are in the middle of the 'road'.
Lamborghini Egoista Super X It's here only because it has enough horsepower, but you may do a backflip easily.
Saleen S7 Super X It can finish in less than 25 seconds if used correctly and is maxed
Daemon 20 Super X Has enough power to easily handle the terrain, if you can control it.

Mountain Loop[]

Description[]

This race you might wanna get a JDM car, as they are more suited for this terrain, but you might want to consider a supercar as some can perform quite well.

Recommended Cars[]

Vehicle Type Manual Auto Remind

Toyota AE86

JDM X As the iconic street racing car it does pretty well, if you can master this you can get 30's quite well.
McLaren P1 Super X It handles quite well, which is what you want in this race.
Lamborghini Veneno Super X It drifts quite well, but dont let it oversteer.
Lamborghini Egoista Super X Same as Veneno but its a bit more grippy, which is good
R33, R32 JDM X They have very good handling, you want that in this race.
Daemon 20 Super X Grip the corners, you might be a bit skeptical at first, but once you get to it, it's a beast. You can get possibly under 30 seconds. Also floor it on the straights, as it has very good brakes.



Take Note[]

  • In the late 2018, the desert is covered with lava and rocks, soon replaced with snow and ice in the shakedowns.
    • Around the early February 2019, the desert has been changed back from snow into normal terrain - sand.
  • The Shakedown pt. 2 Update Reworked how the chassis worked. This caused a bit of frustration with how the vehicles drove. This is still noticeable on the Porsche 911 Turbo S, as well as the Porsche Cayman GT4. Both have an odd driving chassis.
  • Before the recent updates, a *mini-game* called Hot Pursuit got removed with the *auto police car* from Vehicle Simulator.
    • Weeks later, the Hot Pursuit icon has been added back into the in-game mini map, but the game itself was still disappearing.
  • Spoilers and materials do affect handling. This will make your car a bit harder to control during Drift King and Race Track.
  • In 2020/3/17 update, the Highway lap number became 1, (used to be 2 laps), which means that now a race's time should be 38-45 secs (if everything went well).
  • Plus, in the 2020/3/17 update, the wait mechanism was removed, which means that now players don't need to wait until the previous race ends, instead they can start a new one immediately.
  • In the 2020/3/24 update, EVERY SINGLE RACE WAS BROKEN!!! Even the 'Race' icon in players' phones disappeared, and there were no GUIs when driving into the circles, although the circles were still visible. However, a few hours later, this bug was fixed. At the same time, the free Chiron (Bucatti Sharon) bug was fixed, too.
  • After that, some new races were added, including Highway Race/Around the world/Race track timing mode,and added a new race called Hill Climb(with timing mode,) and deleted Drift king mode in the shipping yard.

Tuning Guide

Tuning is the act of modifying your car in order for it to have a certain feeling, pretty much what you do in the auto shop, It is a really important aspect of Vehicle Simulator because it allows for you to customize your car to your own likes and driving style. Over here I'm going to explain what every single thing in the auto shop (that affects performance) does in a detailed way. I would advise you take a read of this before following any of the tunes above since it will give you an idea of what those tunes change in your car and save you up some money if the tunes above (like they usually are) are wrong.

Before I start explaining every single thing, I want you to think of tuning as balancing something, when you tune a car you want to have the balance that suits your preferences in driving. The things I'm going to explain are: Materials, Spoilers, Engine, Brakes, Tires, Camber, Suspension, Transmission, Nitro, Turbo Chargers and Other smaller stuff.

Materials[]

Materials are not just cosmetic, as many believe. They slightly affect acceleration (though very barely noticeable), and affect handling a lot. The lighter the material (e.g carbon fiber, glossy, semi gloss, etc), the more oversteer you get, the heavier the material (e.g corroded metal, metallic, diamond plate, etc), the more understeer you get. If you want to drift go for a light material, if you want grip go for a heavy material. As you would expect lighter materials make your car fly on ramps and make boats float more. Contrary to what has been claimed by the Roblox developers, materials still have different weights, as of Shakedown 2 update the weights of the materials changed a bit, but there's still a noticeable difference when trying to jump on a ramp.

Spoilers[]

Along with materials, these don't just bling out your car. Depending on your spoiler, they can affect your car's handling by a very large amount. The lighter the spoiler (e.g Veyron, no spoiler, Supra, Egoista, etc), the more oversteer you get. The heavier the spoiler (e.g double stacked Veneno, F40, GT3, Zonda, etc), the more understeer you get. They mostly affect the balance of the car, have in mind that there's no such thing as down force in the game thus spoilers don't affect speed at all. (Note: Try and make the balance of your car as close as possible to 50/50. For example, if your car is heavier in the front and lighter in the back, lean towards bigger spoilers, and if your car is heavy at the back and light at the front, go for a very small spoiler or no spoiler.)

Engines[]

For races with turns in them, the stronger the engine doesn't always mean the better. Choosing the right engine is based on how good your car brakes. If it brakes extremely well, then go for the Ludacris engine, no doubt about it; although if your car brakes very slowly, such as the Pagani Zonda, then you may want to tone down your engine. It's better to have a weaker engine, and be able to take a corner, than to have a stronger one and go into the ocean. The higher level the engine, the higher your top speed.

Brakes[]

This depends again, on your cars braking power. If it brakes extremely quickly, you may want to stay with your stock brakes, as you can lose all of your speed when taking a corner if you have Racing Brakes. If your car brakes extremely slowly, then add Racing Brakes, as it only adds more braking power to your car.

Tires[]

This all depends on what your car's handling is like already, and what you want it to do. If you want to drift, the drift tires will decrease traction on your car, making it skid more. If you're looking for grip then you should get either racing tires or drag slicks (same handling as racing slicks but costs 10 times the price and faster acceleration). it all depends on your setup, racing tires/drag slicks are not always the best because they can add a bit of oversteer and on a heavy oversteer setup it won't help a lot. Off-road tires are pretty straight forward, they increase the traction off-road and add a lot of understeer on normal surfaces.

Note ---[]

For the Races Guide, if you found out a serious weak point of your car...

etc : (AE86 with drift tires would be hard to control in Highway Race)

You should decide the tuning yourself instead of still following the guide...

etc : (Get the racing tires / keep the stock for the AE86, even though the AE86 is not good for gripping due to very low speed.)(stock-200KMH)

Camber[]

Camber is another important aspect of your cars handling, overall decreasing the camber will add a little bit of oversteer to your car, most of the time when exiting a corner, this comes with the cost of it being horrible off-road and having trouble with small bumps (specially if you go for the lower ends). In the other hand Positive Camber adds a barely noticeable bit of understeer but helps a lot with off-road.

Suspension[]

Tuning your suspension is a bit more complicated than most other things. It consists of 3 things: (have in mind none of this changes your speed nor your acceleration)

Ride Height[]

This has a similar effect like the one in camber, lower cars oversteer a bit and have bad offroad capabilities and higher cars have off-roading capabilities and a little bit of understeer. A thing you could do is balance out your camber with your height to get different outcomes in your handling.

Springs[]

Racing springs add a bit more traction to the car, thus making it perfect for grip. Off-road springs make the car better for off-road (of course) and they decrease the oversteer of the car.

Shocks[]

Racing Shocks make the turning a bit stiffer adding understeer (wouldn't recommend using these for the racetrack). Off-road shocks do the same as the springs, they increase off-road capabilites and decrease oversteer.

Transmission[]

The transmission is really simple, Long and Pro long add speed and decrease acceleration a bit, its perfect for courses with long straights like the highway and Short and Pro short add acceleration and decrease top speed a little, which is perfect for the racetrack and drag.

Nitro and Turbo Chargers[]

This is pretty straight forward, the more expensive your nitro is the more power it will give you. For some reason turbo charges don't work like they are supposed to, instead they just increase the amount of nitro you have and make the recovery faster. Generally speaking you should always go for rocket fuel and quad turbo. There is a glitch that still exist in VS that is the twin turbo has the same nitro capability as the quad turbo. (Simbuilder pls fix this :P)

Others[]

Welded Differential[]

Welded differential adds a TON of oversteer, but also causes delayed turning(won't suggest this for gripping). I advise keeping this out of your drift setups unless you want to make a drift car out of a really stiff car for example the Zonda. Adding this to say, the AE86 would make it nearly undriveable.

Air thrusters[]

These don't affect handling at all, they just make the car easier to flip when taking a corner at high speeds (even though this rarely happens), i would advise you take it off in a grip setup.
