  In this paper, we consider a spiraling string falling in the bulk with
Gauss$-$Bonnet geometry that is holographically dual to a heavy particle
rotating through a hot plasma at finite coupling. One finds such interesting
simple problem provides a novel perspective on different channels of the energy
loss in the corresponding strongly coupled theory. Depends on the sign of the
coupling, one observes that the influence of finite coupling on total energy
loss and contribution of drag force and radiation channels appears as a shift
on curves with respect to the plasma with infinite coupling. Also we found that
crossover between regime in which drag force contribution is predominant to
regime in which energy loss is due to radiation, does not depend on the
Gauss$-$Bonnet coupling.
