Every run scored. Every zero explained.
Sideways Sensei watches every driver on your server, scores each run out of 100 with Drift Masters rules, judges tandems both ways, runs your qualifying and bracket, and posts the result in server chat with a line about how it went.
Windows · Content Manager + Custom Shaders Patch · no server plugin needed
of the 258 runs judged on our own Čačak sessions scored zero: spins, straightening, opposite drift, wall hits. Real data from the judge's run log. The Sensei is not generous.
Score first. Reason second. Then the roast.
- 21:14:02[Sensei] NOVA: 0 (spin). Plot twist: NOVA's car wanted to go home. It turned around to do it. 0.
- 21:15:40[Sensei] KAI: 86 - clean
- 21:15:40[Sensei] why KAI: line −4 (zone 2 wide) · angle −6 · style −4
- 21:15:41[Sensei] KAI gets 86. Clean-ish. The 'ish' is doing a lot of work in that sentence.
- 21:18:12[Sensei] Tandem KAI (lead 84) vs NOVA (chase 79) - advantage KAI
- 21:18:13[Sensei] NOVA matched KAI's angle and gap. Who are you and what have you done with NOVA?
Real judge output, driver names changed. Roasts go after the driving, never the person. Clean language by default; savage mode (swearing) is a switch for servers that allow it. English and Romanian, each written natively.
Drift Masters rules, applied the same way to everyone.
Split across the zones
Every run starts at 100 at the entry line. Each zone owns its share of the points: hitting it, the angle there and the style there. Miss a zone and its whole share is gone.
Instant zeros
Choose whether two or three wheels off counts as off track. Riding the wall is fine; hitting it nose-first is not.
Tandem chase
The lead is judged like a solo run. The chase loses up to 50 for distance and up to 50 for not copying the lead's angle. Under 3 points apart: one more time.
Run the whole event from one window.
Judges everyone at once
Drive or spectate. Every car on the server is scored live, with calls and the leaderboard in the window and in the in-game overlay.
Posts to server chat
Through your own AC client, with a test button and a mute switch. Choose what goes out: scores, roasts, tandems, bracket results.
Qualifying and bracket
Best qualifying run counts. The bracket seeds best against worst, runs the battle for 3rd and the grand final, and lets you override a result by hand.
Knows the map
Uses CSP Drift Challenge and DriftZonesEditor layouts when a track has them, builds zones from the track shape when it doesn't, and learns maps with no AI line from the first clean run.
Explains every deduction
Each score gets a second line with the reasons, so nobody argues with the judge. Well, fewer people.
English and Română
The window, the overlay and the roasts. The Romanian lines are written from scratch, not translated.

Before you ask in Discord
Do I need to install anything on the server?
No. Sideways Sensei runs on your PC while you're connected to the server as a driver or spectator. It reads the cars through Assetto Corsa and posts to chat through your own client.
What do I need on my PC?
Windows, Assetto Corsa with Content Manager, and Custom Shaders Patch. The app installs its two in-game apps on first start.
Will it swear on my server?
Only if you switch it to savage. It starts on clean, and the roasts always go after the driving, never the person. You can also turn roasts off and post scores only.
Which tracks work?
Any drift track. Tracks with Drift Challenge or DriftZonesEditor layouts use those zones. "Scan all maps" builds zones for the rest from the track shape.
How does the trial work?
Download it and use everything for 7 days, no card. After that the app asks for a license key, which you get by subscribing.
How do I cancel?
Use the link in your receipt email. The app keeps working until the end of the month you paid for.
