power sliding
Throttle-induced tail swing
Power sliding is a driving technique where a vehicle's rear wheels lose traction while the driver maintains control through throttle and steering, causing the car to slide sideways through a turn.
Common in motorsports like rally racing and drifting, it requires precise coordination: He power slid around the corner, tires smoking.
The technique also appears in video games, particularly racing and kart games where it often builds speed boosts.
