tommy060289 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hey everyone, I don't know if it's just me but I'm having some era difficulty getting the drift achievement. I've tried the cars listed in the achievement guide n found them hopeless so then I tried the top downloaded set up on the store front (a Subaru with 700bhp) and found it completely undriveable. It was literally a struggle to go in a straight line so when I got to the corners it was complete random what I got! I got up to 3000 once but it was pure chance from just swerving all over the place! Also what tracks are people using as the guide mentions catalunya learner circuit but I found very little room for error due to narrow track and seemed to have more luck with the American NASCAR style circuits. Any tips on how to get this achievement would be much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texel Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Make sure you turn off Traction Control and ABS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominicH1712 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I found the silvia s15 to be quite good and worked well for me. The back steps out nicely and relatively controlled and is pretty straightforward enough to straighten up again when done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z3R0 S1X Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Go to the test track's tri-oval layout, use the Bugatti Veyron, turn off all of the assits. Go into a turn and let the backend of the car get lose, the car will start to drift so just hold the turn until you have the needed points and bring the car straight. It's not that hard to do and takes very little practice unlike drifting an entire lap for 100,000 points in Forza 3 which was a pain and actually took some skill.

That's exactly what I did it worked for me, I was dreading that achievement I can't drift for shit. I got this last week in about 5 mins max, honestly this works even if you can't drift stock Bugatti on that track tap handbrake feather the gas drift easy.

tommy060289 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I remember the 100,000 drift achievement! Your right it was a pain! Think I did t with 101,000 lol. 100%ed that game! Not sure if will this (down to manufacturer affinity and kinect!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmadmarc Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I used the shelby cobra with abs and traction control off on the high speed ring. From the start i kept my finger on the accelerator and didt brake uintil the last minute on the first bend. Make sure your in the middle of the track to avoid hitting either wall and smash the handbrake and simateneously put on full lock the back end will come out and slide round the bend if you feel your losing it steer into the turn and make it last uintil that glorious acheivement sound pops up and there you have it.

red_hammer Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Usually I like drifting and don't struggle winning any event, but FM4 is different Took me a lot of rewinding and a bit luck to get a drift in the last corner of Tsukuba (first drift challenge in Rivals mode with the Supra) over 5000 points... Maybe you should try a not so powerful car (the Supra in Rivals mode is stock). I Had exactly the same problems... S700 drift tunes didn't work at all for me! Good luck!

S700 drift tunes didn't work at all for me! There's literally no reason to use a crazy powerful car to drift, how balanced the suspension is makes the real difference. Stock cars have enough power to drift and are far easier to control, extra power only makes holding the drift harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy060289 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 thanks everyone:D Veyron method worked perfect on test track (after a couple of annoying times spinning out after going past 5000 points!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatNiteEduardo Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Motegi oval supra stock tuning and no assists. Go quick and slide around the turns. Tap brakes to start the slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldastar52 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I used the Top Secret S15 that is available in the drift Rivals mode and was able to chain a solid drift through the back and forth twists on Suzuka. Well balanced and is pretty easy to kick its tail out and transfer left and right pretty swiftly. Most of my drift cars have less than 400hp in them.

absurd Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I know the achievement is a little bit tricky. I upload my video for "awesome drift" take bughatti veyron and make the same as the video. press "A" for a drift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoooDave Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Freeplay hot lap bugatti Veyron 16.4 your favourite colour steering normal,traction control off, gears maunal or manual-clutch Test Track Benchmark Layout E Get up in to 3rd gear and tap the hand brake for a moment and you'll be off in to the easiest drift you could ever hope for. You'll probably have to switch between 2nd and 3rd as required to keep it going indefinately, but it'll probably be mostly 2nd if you're tight in to the center, or 3rd if you're going for big sweeping ones further out. Before long, you'll be doing several laps of it in one long continuous drift and every time you pass the start line, it'll give you a "perfect drift". It's so easy you can get the badge for 20 perfect drifts in about 5 minutes. I uploaded a replay called "x360a drift ach" if you want to see what I'm talking about.

Aki2403 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I managed it in the rivals mode drift section with the Trueno Sprinter on Kaido. Just a case of chaining some drifts together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohegan13 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Make sure abs/tcs is off. Gears = Manual w/clutch. Steering = Normal. Any car that steps out. I used the BMW from the free BMW DLC pack. Layout E on the Benchmark/Test Track. Get into second, use the handbrake (with clutch to keep the revs up) to get the back end out and you should get it done easily. Just stay away from the outside wall. You can use rewind if you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use rewind if you need it. I used the same track to get this achievement, after constantly failing trying all the above mentioned methods. Only I used a Dodge Viper. I found getting it to drift in one direction for as many points as I could get then flipping in the opposite direction to get more worked best for me.

oooz1991 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I got it the same way as Z3R0 S1X originally posted. Go onto the oval version of the test track in a veyron and turn off all aids. Back end becomes very happy and so long as you control it from turning in and colliding with the inside (guilty) you can maintain a really easily controlled drift and get the achievement Thanks to Z3R0 S1X for the idea!
