Gran Turismo 7: How to drift

Drifting 101

Like all chapters that rolled out before it, Gran Turismo 7 owns up to having its fair share of driving challenges. Some of these require a little more hands-on experience and can involve pulling off tricky maneuvers in order to complete. Take drifting, for example. Although it's not an overly complex maneuver to execute, it isn't exactly something that's meant to be mastered in a matter of minutes.

Similar to previous Gran Turismo chapters, drifting involves approaching a corner at high speed, hitting the circle button to handbrake turn, and then maintaining the drift before regaining control by steering in the opposite direction.
