After writing many scripts to create car movement I finally came up with a method that works. This car script had to include forward/backwards movement, left/right movement, Drifting and a Boost System. This was done using the wheel collider component built into the Unity Game Engine. This component needed a lot of tweaking to get a balanced experience. Too little friction and the car felt like it was on ice. Too much friction and the car was fast enough.
