Description
Tandem drift with a bot - it leads or it chases you. Record your own drift run and chase it, or lead and let the bot chase you door to door. The bot is a real, solid car that really drifts - real contact, real damage.

Features
- Leader Mode: The bot drives your recorded run and you chase it. The leader replays your exact inputs (steering, throttle, brake, handbrake, clutch, gears), and an invisible "hand" keeps it on your line and at your drift angle.
- Chaser Mode: You lead, and the bot chases you live, following your line and angle door to door.
- Customizable Behavior: Choose between Calm, Normal, or Aggressive characters, plus an Aggression slider.
- Flexible Starting Positions: Start the bot behind you, on your left, on your right, or at your own saved positions.
- Physical Interaction: The bot is a physical car; it reacts to contact, takes damage, and handles jumps and crests without mistaking hard landings for crashes.
- Smart AI: If you spin, stop, or reverse, the bot waits for you and joins in again without following you into a wall.

How to Use
Leader: Sit in the car that will be the leader, type a name, press REC, drive your run, press STOP. Switch to another car, pick the recording and press START or Enter.
Chaser: Place two cars on the map, sit in yours - the other one becomes the chaser. Pick where it starts and its character, press START or Enter and drift.
The ? button in the app shows these steps, and every setting explains itself when you hover it.
