While a full 360 drift entry involves multiple steps like initiating the slide and controlling rotation, the provided reference highlights a crucial action to perform during the maneuver, specifically as the car rotates.
Executing a Key Step During the 360 Drift
According to the reference, as the car is coming around during the 360 drift rotation, you need to perform the following action:
- Downshift to third gear. The reference explicitly states, "And then as the car is coming around we need to pop a downshift to get to third gear. So we're going to downshift."
- Apply the throttle. Immediately after downshifting, you should "hit the throttle" again.
This sequence of downshifting and reapplying throttle while the car is rotating is vital for controlling the speed and angle of the drift, helping to complete the 360-degree spin effectively.
Performing this step correctly helps maintain momentum and manage the vehicle's attitude throughout the 360 rotation.
