About My Winter Car Vehicles
The vehicle roster in My Winter Car is a carefully balanced ecosystem designed for winter survival. The Sorbett provides an FWD safety net for daily tasks, the Kekmet offers heavy utility for recovery and hauling, and the Corris Rivett stands as the ultimate goal—a complex RWD machine that demands mechanical mastery.
Unlike standard racing simulations, My Winter Car simulates the granular physics of cold-weather automotive survival, from battery chemistry at -20°C to oil viscosity during a cold crank.

Drivetrain Types in Winter
Front-Wheel Drive (FWD)
- • Engine weight over drive wheels = better traction
- • Understeers at limit (plows straight, safer)
- • Predictable and beginner-friendly
- • Better for climbing unplowed driveways
Vehicles:
Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD)
- • Light rear end = less traction (add sandbags!)
- • Oversteers at limit (rear swings out)
- • Requires counter-steering skill
- • Can "steer with throttle" for drifting
Vehicles:
All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
- • Power to all wheels = maximum traction
- • Superior acceleration on slippery surfaces
- • Excellent hill-climbing ability
- • Most stable in deep snow

Winter Driving Guide
Essential Equipment
- •Studded winter tires (mandatory)
- •Block heater (plug in 30-60 min before)
- •Sandbags in trunk for RWD vehicles
- •Ice scraper for windshield
- •Emergency blanket and food
Driving Techniques
- •Smooth inputs - avoid sudden braking/accelerating
- •Slow down before corners, not during
- •Keep RPM low to prevent wheelspin
- •Use engine braking on descents
- •Increase following distance by 3x
- •Test brakes gently on safe surfaces
