Cornering in Neon Drift Alley: Stop Fighting the Drift

For my first hour in Neon Drift Alley I braked into every corner like a normal racing game. That's exactly wrong. The whole design wants you drifting, and braking kills the boost you need.

The trick is entering wide, tapping into the drift early, and holding it through the apex. Your boost meter fills the longer you slide cleanly, and that boost is what wins races on the later tracks.

Sensitivity settings are underrated here. I bumped mine down a notch and suddenly my drifts stopped over-rotating. Spend two minutes in the options before you blame the controls.

Pick a car that suits chaining drifts over top speed, especially early. Raw speed doesn't help if you can't hold the slide, and the corners come fast.
