If you know how many times wheels complete 360º rotation per second (angular speed), you can calculate the amount of distance they should move per second (linear speed). You can compare the linear speed to the actual speed of the car, if they do not match (use a tolerance value) then it is skidding.

I have a simple solution for this. By this your car can have skid marks and tire smoke at the right moment

WheelHit hit = new WheelHit();
 
WheelCollider yourWheelcollider = GetComponent<WheelCollider>();
 
        if (yourWheelcollider.GetGroundHit(out hit))
        {
            if (hit.sidewaysSlip > .15)
                Debug.Log("drifting");
        }

Your solution posted on the 2D forum is to use 3D physics? The dev above is using 2D physics. :slight_smile:
