We will add a basic lap counter which tracks how many laps each car has driven. We'll introduce c# Action Events which makes life as a game dev a lot easier. Then we will also show how to use a UI canvas to display the cars position using world space so it hovers above the car. 📍 Support us on Patreon to help us make more videos like this one https://www.patreon.com/prettyflygames With this tutorial series you’ll be able to make a physics based race game with lots of drifting in no time. Car movement is often a challenge for a lot of developers but using simple tricks is often the best solution.
