Tandem Drift Leader turns your own drift run into a lead car you can chase. Record your lead run, then chase yourself door-to-door. The leader is a real, solid car that really drifts with real contact and real damage.

Features
- Physical Leader: The leader is a solid car that reacts to contact and takes damage.
- Realistic Movement: Replays exact inputs (steering, throttle, brake, handbrake, clutch, gears) with an invisible "hand" maintaining the line and drift angle.
- Intelligent Reactions: Light contact is shrugged off; hard hits or spins trigger braking and a 5-second wait before completing the line without drifting.
- Terrain Handling: Jumps and crests are handled correctly so hard landings are not mistaken for crashes.
- Customizable Settings: Adjust hold strength, contact thresholds, wait time, fallback speed, gap, and countdown length.
- Multilingual Support: Available in English and Russian.

How to use
1. Open the window (Right Shift), type a name, press REC, drive your lead run, and press STOP REC.
2. Switch to another car (ideally the same model and setup).
3. Pick the recording and press START or Enter.

Controls
- Right Shift: Open / close the Tandem Drift Leader window
- Enter: Put the leader on the start line and start the countdown (works mid-run as an instant restart)
- Record start/stop and Stop bot can be bound in Options > Controls > Bindings (search "Tandem").

Tips
- Use the same car setup for the leader as when recording to avoid physics issues.
- Record several lead runs to keep the best one.
- Perform the Yaw test (Settings): the bot must turn LEFT. If it turns right, enable "Invert yaw".

Notes
- Single player only. Not made for BeamMP.
- Tested on BeamNG.drive 0.39.
- Recordings are tied to the map they were made on and are stored in your user folder under tandemDrift/.
