Drift Master
Ninety seconds on a twisting circuit. Hold the handbrake through a corner to build a drift chain — the longer you hold the slide, the higher the multiplier — then straighten up on track to bank it. Spin out or drop a wheel on the grass and the whole chain is gone.

How Drift Master works
A drift session is ninety seconds long and the track is a closed loop with grass on both sides. Tap the handbrake as you turn in and the car's grip drops, so the nose keeps pointing into the corner while the car slides across it. The game counts a slide when the car is sideways by about twelve degrees and still moving quickly; below that you are simply cornering.
Points do not go straight into your score. While you slide they pile up in a bank that grows with how sideways you are and how fast you are going, and the longer the slide runs the higher the multiplier: one step for every 1.15 seconds of continuous drift, up to ×5. Straighten up and hold it steady for under half a second and the bank is paid into your score at that multiplier — that pause is the bank, and it is easy to forget in the middle of a good run.
There are two ways to lose it all. Spin the car past about 120 degrees of slip and the combo is gone with the bank; put a wheel on the grass and the same thing happens, along with the drag that costs you the speed you need to start again. Short, controlled slides that you actually bank beat one enormous drift that ends in the scenery.
Tips for Drift Master
- Tap the handbrake as you turn in, then hold it through the corner — the chain grows the longer the slide lasts.
- Straighten up while still on the tarmac to bank the chain. A wheel on the grass loses all of it.
- Short, controlled drifts that you bank beat one huge drift that spins out.
