DRIFTING
Drifting is a cool new driving style that Lightning McQueen is excited about. He can now use Doc's secret driving techniques everywhere. Remember, sometimes you have to turn left to go right!
Drifting Controls
•
While driving fast, hold the L2 button to enter drift mode.
•
In drift mode, you can perform loose or tight drifts.
•
Moving the left analog stick lightly allows for loose drifts and racks up points.
•
Moving the left analog stick more makes the drift tighter, making turning easier.
Drift Meter
The Drift Meter shows Lightning's drifting angle. A more extreme angle puts the meter in the green. Combining an extreme angle with high speed helps score many points.
