Slingline Drift only gives you one control: hold and release.

The car drives on its own. When you get close to a glowing beacon, hold to connect the slingline and let it pull the car around the corner.

The important part is knowing when to let go.

I usually watch the front of the car instead of counting how long I’ve been holding. Once the car is pointing toward the next straight, I release.

If you keep holding, you’ll turn too far. Let go too early, and you’ll slide off the outside of the road.

Later routes get faster, but the idea stays the same: connect a little early, watch the car angle, and make one clean release.
