GTR Drift Fever puts you behind the wheel of high‑powered cars in a realistic drift simulator that challenges your skills on five unique tracks. Whether you’re a PC racer looking for an adrenaline rush or a drifting game enthusiast, mastering the controls is key to unlocking spectacular slides. In this guide, you’ll learn exactly which keyboard keys to use and how to optimize your setup for the ultimate drift racing experience.

Getting Started with Your Drift Setup

Before you hit the asphalt, make sure you’ve downloaded GTR Drift Fever and set your graphics to match your hardware. For the best performance in the US on Windows 10 or 11 PCs, choose a stable frame rate (60 FPS is ideal) and plug in a wired keyboard to minimize input lag.

Core Keyboard Controls

Use these primary keys to control your ride in GTR Drift Fever:

• Accelerate: W or ↑ Arrow
• Brake/Reverse: S or ↓ Arrow
• Steer Left: A or ← Arrow
• Steer Right: D or → Arrow
• Handbrake (Drift Initiation): Spacebar
• Pause/Menu: Esc

These are the building blocks of any drift racing game. Holding the handbrake while turning helps lock your rear wheels and start a controlled drift.

Advanced Keybinds and Techniques

Once you’re comfortable with sliding, expand your control mastery with these additional keys:

• Gear Up: Left Shift
• Gear Down: Left Ctrl
• Nitro Boost (NOS): F
• Change Camera Angle: C
• Slow Motion (for cinematic shots): G
• Lookback (rear view): B

Experiment with shifting gears mid‑drift to maintain engine RPM in the power band—this keeps your turbo spooled and your slides longer. If you want to refine cockpit views, toggling the camera with C can help you find the sweet spot for judging apexes.

Scoring Big in GTR Drift Fever

Points in GTR Drift Fever are awarded for angle, speed, and drift duration. Here are a few pro tips:

1. Maintain Angle: Use small counter‑steering taps (A or D) to hold your slide without spinning out.
2. Link Corners: Transition between drifts by shifting weight—brake (S) gently and then re‑accelerate (W) to link multiple corners in one combo.
3. Use Nitrous Wisely: Hit F when you need an extra burst at the exit of a corner to extend your drift line.
