Drift
the car keeps going where it was going. you only aim where it faces.
hold to drift, release to grip -- the path lags behind the body until you let it catch up
A drifting car has two headings: the body turns with the wheels, but the path keeps its old heading. Holding turns the body into the corner; releasing lets the tyres bite and the path swing to catch up.
Concepts: momentum, friction, heading.
