I think you would benefit from adding a j-shaped curve to your throttle input. A value of 1.5 will do a ton of difference to the sensitive throttle causing most spin outs. Real life gas pedal i put / throttle bodies has a J shaped curve to them and one of the devs responded to me about that a good while back aknowledging it too.
As a middle eastern dude, I look forward to all of those jokes. We're going to end up with car chase scenarios where you need to escape the religious police or navigate through overcrowded city streets.
maybe if we're going middle eastern we could get an f1 track or two in them where it's one of those purpose built "street circuits" that isn't actually on streets but they just called it that so they don't have to pay for runoff, would be pretty accurate to the current calendar
imo drift presets are ok. The only one that could be improved is the bastion. Others are good enough. Never had problems with them. (not talking about 200bx remaster that is so needed)
There are also some huge expressways in the Saudi Arabian cities and they are suitable for red light drag racing! Remember the legendary races of the Murcielago SV vs the McLaren SLR 722 and the Bugatti Veyron vs the McLaren F1 on the old new Top Gear!
again: DRY ROCK ISLAND! it's been in the game already, it's a legendaryish map, and pretty fun overall however it would need a name other than dry rock island
