How do you drift in Asphalt 8?

To drift in Asphalt 8, steer into a corner and tap the brake once. Your car will turn sideways while keeping forward momentum. On mobile, turn by tilting your device or pressing the steering control. Tap the brake icon as the corner begins. On a keyboard, press the left or right arrow with the down arrow. Controller players can steer and tap their assigned brake button. Keep steering through the corner to hold the drift. Reduce your steering input if the car slides too far. Tap the brake again or straighten the car to stop drifting. Use nitro after the car faces forward to regain speed quickly.

Begin drifting just before a sharp turn. Starting too late may send your car into a wall. Avoid long drifts on gentle curves because they reduce speed. Short drifts usually produce faster lap times and better corner exits. Drifting also fills your nitro bar and helps complete drift distance goals. In Gate Drift Mode, your car must drift through each marked gate to score points. Enter a normal ramp while drifting to perform a flat spin.

Practice with a car that has good handling. An Asphalt 8 Mod APK may change button placement, but the basic drift controls usually remain unchanged.
