Before diving into some of the new tracks, you’ll need tips on the best drift cars for GTA Online races. The Winter 2023 update is all about drifting, with exclusive new tracks to test your mettle. For any chance of winning these races, you’ll need the best car.
Best Drift Cars to Use in GTA Online Drift Races
The following cars are our recommendations to use in GTA Online drift races:
- Dominator ASP
- Banshee
- Coquette D10
- Buffalo STX
- Drift Tampa
- Vigero ZX
- Entity XF
If we had to choose just one, the best drift car to use in GTA Online drift races is the Overflod Entity XF. Marked in the Supercar class, its supreme speed and handling mean you won’t lose too much pace while drifting around corners. If you time your braking well and activate the drift at the just the right time, you’ll blitz through corners and win plenty of races.
Equally, you can’t go wrong with the fittingly named Declasse Drift Tampa. It’s only accessible if you played the Cunning Stunts DLC back in 2016, but is pound-for-pound the best drifting car in the game. Its top speed isn’t as impressive as the Entity XF’s, but it makes up for it in its ability to ease through tight corners.
When it comes to the new vehicles in the 2023 Winter Update, none of them seem especially well-suited to drift races. There are supercars and high-speed vehicles on that roster, but not all of them are fitting for a very corner-focused race format.
