CarX Drift Racing Online: How to Choose Collision Modes for Tandem Drifting

Choose the collision behaviour before assessing a bump

CarX Drift Racing Online 2.28.2 restores a choice of collision behaviours instead of offering dynamic collisions as a single separate solution. This matters when practicing a tandem: the absence of contact can reflect the selected mode. Do not infer a network failure from that symptom alone. [1]

Use Classic for continuous physical contact

Classic, also labelled Enabled, keeps collisions active at all times. Choose it when the session is intended to include contact throughout the run, rather than conditionally allowing it only during a tandem situation. [1]

Steps

1. Set the collision behaviour to Classic (Enabled) when you want continuous collisions. [1]

Use Dynamic for conditional tandem contact

Dynamic enables collisions only in appropriate situations during tandem drifting. It is the conditional option between always-on contact and no contact. The developer’s release note does not publish exact speed, angle or distance thresholds for the 2.28.2 implementation; a precise threshold chart would go beyond this source. [1]

Steps

1. Choose Dynamic when the goal is the game’s conditional collision behaviour during tandem drifting. [1]

Use Disabled when contact should be removed

Disabled turns collisions off completely. If cars pass through one another in that configuration, the behaviour matches the description. Switch the collision mode when your practice objective changes, rather than expecting the same setting to behave like Classic. [1]

Steps

1. Choose Disabled when you want the session to have no car collisions. [1]

Keep player-name visibility and menu access separate

The later 2.28.3 Hide Player Names setting controls multiplayer name visibility. It is a different option from physical collision behaviour; hiding a name is not described as disabling contact. [2]

If advanced control settings fail to open while navigating with a keyboard or gamepad, 2.28.3 contains that specific menu fix. Confirm which option or menu is failing before treating it as a collision-mode bug. [2]
