Always use fully manual for drifting and driving any of my cars on keyboard. Only switch to auto clutch when I set up to drive faster cars like EL_BRUTE on controller because the inputs won't allow me to rev-match under braking.

The Burnside Race for a RWD car is very good, but difficult to drive. The Bandit being AWD makes it much easier to start with since you can just keep it mostly in one gear and just turn and throttle.
Still can be used plenty fine for drifting, remap it from P to the Spacebar with just two button presses and it's much easier even without the press and hold option.
