LogInjuliengamedev shared progress on his upcoming template.
As the developer shared, he worked on this project for 5 years and reverse-engineered the game to get the physics feel almost exactly the same. After all this time, juliengamedev is nearing completion of this Mario Kart 8-style drifting physics template aka "a go-kart-style arcade racer with drifting mechanics".
Aside from almost perfectly replicating Mario Kart 8 physics, it has FPS-independent physics, ready-to-go particles, animations, vehicle meshes, and easy Blueprints customizability, although the system is written in C++. juliengamedev plans to release a free playable demo when this template is ready to be published on Fab, so you'll get the chance to check it out yourself.
You can also expect tutorials on how this template was created, as juliengamedev plans to release them on his YouTube channel in the following weeks.
