Reverse 360 Powerslide:
Set the drift mode option to "RR64". Begin game play and get to a sharp
turn. Stop accelerating, turn the opposite direction from the turn, and
accelerate again while still turning. If done correctly your car will
spin around during the powerslide. After you are turned around, control
the car as if in a normal powerslide and re-align it with the track.
This trick allows your car to get through winding turns without braking
or losing speed.
