Drift Instructions for Beginners:

Drifting emphasizes flow and style rather than speed. Start slowly, practice consistently, and follow these steps:

1. Initiate Drift: Turn into the corner and choose one of these techniques:
   • Quickly tap the electronic handbrake.
   • Briefly press the brake with the throttle.
   • Aggressively throttle to spin the rear tires.
2. Maintain Control: Avoid overcorrecting or counter-steering. The TSM Drift mode will automatically counter-steer for you.
3. Steady Throttle: Keep even throttle to maintain speed and angle through the drift.
4. Fine Adjustments: Use small steering inputs to control the car’s position in the drift.
5. Change Direction: To switch drift directions, steer into the next corner. Let the momentum carry the car, with TSM Drift mode managing the counter-steer and throttle adjustments.
