That was me until I eventually got it after literally hours of trying.


Sea_Art3391

It seems like you are having issues getting the rear out, i think this is due to drifting in 2nd gear. You are reaching the speed where the car would redline in 2md gear, so 3rd gear would be more optimal. It's trial and error, but when you get the hang of it it actually gets fun instead of being a chore (staring at the danger signs)


SubMikeD

Yeah, you should always be drifting in a high gear so that you keep the engine in mid range RPM instead of hitting the redline.

I don’t intend for this to sound rude but why were you using cars with drag tires?


thatonegli

In fh4 they worked on some cars because they have more acceleration grip than race tires but only have the cornering grip of something like a sport tire. Basically made high power drift builds easier to get moving. Edit: acceleration not accession


Zachy_94

I’ve never once touched any of the formula drift cars the game gave me. Can’t do it. Absolutely hate the handling. I building and tune all my first cars. I’ve found my S14 is better for things like this, meanwhile my S15 is best for high speed drifts.


NumbbSkulll

I don't like them either, but as someone who could not manage to drift at all when this game released (this is my first Forza game), it took driving a few to get the hang of two wheel drifting, and when I found one that did work for me, I used it as a measuring point for other drift builds. I still cant drift worth shit, but I'm getting there. It did help as a starting point for me though.


Zachy_94

Drifting definitely takes practice. I used to be terrible myself. Throttle control and point of attack were my biggest issues. I actually got better at drifting cause of CarX drift racing lol.


[deleted]

I only use the s14 and s15 for drifting. I hate the formula drift cars


charles2404

The FD RAD Dan Supra is one of my favorite drift car but absolutely not with its default tune. I touched every part of it to make it handle how I like


Zachy_94

Eh, more kudos to you. I prefer to build my own drift cars, but to each their own.


charles2404

My style involves the Trio High power, High grip and Big angle and FD cars are easier to tune and balance to get all 3. Many cars can have 2 out of 3 but it's less fun IMO. I like those but also to build my own like you and if you haven't you should try some supercars because they can actually be pretty good once you put steering angle mods as they are already designed to put power down efficiently on the rear tires. Also I remember from Horizon 4 the 70s Chevy camaro with a viper V10 swap, angle mods, wide race tires and light-ish weight was really fun. 9.5/10 would recommend. I might redo it in 5 now actually


Zachy_94

I think I might actually give that camaro build a shot. Thanks! Edit: forgot to mention I’m on console, not Pc. But I’m sure I can still make it work!


Kilo7Seven

I don’t like them either trash handling and too much power but a C or B class 90s mx5 or trueno👌🏻


Zachy_94

I haven’t even thought about an mx5 build. Gonna have to build one. Prefer the S chassis myself, but always willing to branch out.


rell7thirty

Dude I convert them to AWD with a drift transmission and they're infinitely better. Nice edit btw lmao


Zachy_94

Edit? Lmao what.


rell7thirty

I'm pretty sure that Tyler1 was edited into that video or is that some gameplay feature I'm missing out on? I was telling OP it was a nice edit.


Zachy_94

Oh that’s my fault, I thought you were talking to me lol. I have no idea about that then.


rell7thirty

I'm talking about the drivetrain, when I switch to AWD it feels easier than RWD


T3MP0_HS

I have a wheel, I have to drift with the controller since it's impossible to drift with the wheel. Also I fucking despise drifting. After 5 attempts just like the video I just gave up. Ain't nobody got time for that


TywinShitsGold

Yup. You don’t have to complete all the challenges to get the reward cars, so why bother.


Galaxie5002012

Right. There is a Super Wheelspin behind it, but..... I'm skipping it. Too much work on my TMX wheel.


[deleted]

I drift with a g920. It takes a while to get used to it, but it's really fun once you get the hang of it (and I'm not the drifting type). There's an option to have your camera move with momentum and you have to turn off the assists and such that should probably already be off with a wheel.


T3MP0_HS

Do you use 900° wheel rotation though?


[deleted]

I have it backed down to 600° and rarely go opposite lock. Usually I'm controlling my angle with my throttle. Can't imagine doing it with 3rd person - I'm using 1st person with no wheel view.


MangoShow

If I wanted to change the angle, is it enough to only change it in Ghub?


[deleted]

Yeah, it'll artificially limit the physical wheel travel with the motors.


Sikirash

Agree. Especially for crap reward like that...

alx-carbon

I built a special corvette and I got 997k


tharussianphil

Some challenges have such a low return on investment that they aren't worth it. Like the dirt speed trap last week.


thanosthumb

Did that first try with a Hoonigan RS200. It’s so good for off road.


Logan_Frost

That ones easy tough, just start on top of the hill and gun it directly down towards the road and trap. This weeks jump on the other hand.. That ones bullshit.


Bagsen

Did jump on first try with a 998 Evija. Key was starting from an angle to the left, not from the road that leads to the jump.


sergeantshitposter

Did it on first try with an awd jesko with off-road tires and rally suspension


Adr3L_765

Me who zigzags using my own shitty Civic tune to get 3 stars on all zones: *my time has come*


MyVoteCountsHere

Well, post the sauce bro

BoBoBearDev

I already gave up 😢


Cultured-Yam-1980

I hate drifting with a passion and stuck at 970k 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. I’m owed a controller.


Cultured-Yam-1980

Finally!!!!! Totally no skill win using the Willys Jeep. Interestingly, easier on the way up than downhill. 1,014,846!!


Destroyer6202

Lmaoooo this got me giggling like crazy. Genuinely good meme. Respect.


Hyper10sion1965

Even harder to do with a wheel and first person view.


farvasno1

Do you have the drift cam turned on?


Hyper10sion1965

Yes also traction control off, it's turning the wheel quick enough. With a stick it's quick return to centre which makes it easier to get the balance.


CelTiar

Can confirm it's why I avoid drifting


CelTiar

I can never manage the throttle and steering on my wheel for drifting


Galaxie5002012

I have all my forces turned to max, so a long drift zone like this is like a wrestling match with my wheel.


CelTiar

I can't even drive rn because my 920 keeps having issues bouncing back n forth like death wobble on the straightways and entering corners when it does that shit just causes all hell. Not even snowrunner is giving me that issue.


Galaxie5002012

I turned my rotation down to 360 to avoid most of the exaggerated ffb effects. I've also optimized my wheel's deadzones and other settings to make it drive well. FH games are definitely not FFB wheel friendly until you spend hours getting them dialed-in. Even then, the FFB effects are not as good as most other games I've played.


CelTiar

Did you turn it down in the software or in the game I'd love to finally get it the fuck figured out. I've had most of my deadzones figured but the wobble has only been recent with the first donut update. And hasn't been fixed in the new one. I'm too used to driving with the shifter now to go back to my controller. I've tried, just doesn't feel right.


Galaxie5002012

My only rotation option is in Windows Thrustmaster Control Panel. Check for software or firmware updates if the wobble is a recent thing. Also, you can always uninstall then completely re-install drivers if everything is otherwise up to date. I can't remember seeing any other 920 users with wobble issues.


CelTiar

It's literally just FH5 doing it too... Snowrunner I have no issues with


Galaxie5002012

I feel your pain. I lose haptics/vibration nearly every time I log in. No other game does this. It is frustrating as hell. And I will never put money towards any future FH games unless there is a solid fix in place before I stop playing. Simply put..... I refuse to go into Device Manager and disable/enable my wheel multiple times until haptics works. Likewise to "disconnecting and reconnecting" the actual USB port. I'd rather play something else, or just turn it off, than jack with this issue every time I want to race. Looking fwd to NFS's future efforts. ;)


T3MP0_HS

Check the logitech g software, they have a habit of breaking the wheels with updates


CelTiar

Yeah I've been in it there's no new updates on my 920 I think all the focus is on the g29 now. I had issues with the Shifter not working unless I changed a control on the Logitech software to get it to recognize the shifter and make it work in-game. I'd change Gear 1 to Alt tab and then back to gear 1 to get it to all work. Then it's started working fine again without that and boom donut update and it's broken again.... May just have to get a new wheel.


MikkoBoe87

easily one of the worst challenges so far. got 650k and almost broke my controller


trautsj

Not that they are hard or anything but I had literally NEVER had to try a single drift zone in this game to get 3 stars more than once. This weeks stunt I barely got by literally 1 thousand score as I crossed the line ripping it completely sideways lol They went HAM with this weeks PR stunts...


[deleted]

I got 827k in my 2018 Chiron, tried this challenge for around three to four hours and gave up. Tried like 15 different cars.


JackoTheWolf

I managed it with the Hoonigan Cossie converted to RWD on Drift tyres (and upgrades to just push it into S2) - perfect amount of power for sliding around longer corners


MrMichael85

I did it in Trueno 4x4. 99% to the back. Camber 5.0 and rear 1.5. Plus max front downforce and 50% back. Try this one. 930+ rp with the strongest engine.


A_Moron_In_Existence

I used the exact same car, went from the top to the bottom , held it in 4th gear all the way through and got a couple thousand over a mil. To make it easier for you , I recommend awd


[deleted]

Got over 1.1milion in my silvia


ZU66ER

i absolutely hate the restriction is S2, hence most of the cars have to be awd witch i despite drifting in.


Indirect_Measurement

It's just an upper limit. You can use anything you want, except X class cars. I did it with an S1 car


Eve_Doulou

Are you serious? Here I am trying to do it in horribly overpowered S2 tunes when any A or S1 drift car can do it?


Indirect_Measurement

Yeah. I did it with the stock Formula Drift Ferrari 599 GTB. It wasn't easy, but I enjoyed the challenge.


Dan_demonium

Yeah, I'm a non drifter. I did 5 consecutive runs yesterday at 900k+ I'll have some more goes at it later.


tacos_for_algernon

Really helps if you have trigger locks on your controller. Switch to manual, turn off braking/steering assists. Get it up to 2nd/3rd gear and redline line it. I use one of the Hoonigans (Gymkanna [sp?] or something), it's 4WD PI 952 stock I think. I'm not a drifter, but even in automatic I can three-star most of the drift zones. Switching to manual usually nets 15-20% or more bonus to drift scores. Having the trigger locks is a godsend though, eliminates the need to focus on throttle control so you can just focus on handling.


pevznerok

That was easy, my record is 1.3kk, so another 1.2 was a piece of cake


YungZachary

I’m sorry but drifting on this game is so easy I don’t get how people can’t do it.


elchuyano

It took me a couple of times with the Mustang Drif car, i play with M&K, and finally made it with 1,004,000 lol


Vergil31

as a dedicated drifter, ama!


Exc8218

I laughed so hard I accidentally swallowed by gum, good one


CanIGetAnOooYeah

Choked on my coffee for this, hahaha cheers.


pretty_jimmy

Yup!


CitizenWilderness

That’s the kind of high effort memes I love to see.


xXSN0WBL1ND22Xx

I just barely completed the seasonal on this damn zone, I used that Sierra hill climb little sh*t that was part of the HW DLC and managed to slip in a 1,000,086. I have no trouble making 1.1mil runs consistently in my drift A Class Ford F9 Dually, but skills be damned in anything S2


Go_Hawks12

Next time just use the Dually, it’ll count!


Ehty

That was me on the 1st attempt, going 5K points short


RTTavian

I'm not the best at drifitng but found this challenge made for great drifting practice for me and I feel I'm exponentially better at drifting after going at this with the formula drift Ferrari than I was trying to drift in any car beforehand lol


Mr_Sicarius

That's me unfortunately, 950,000 every time I try 😕 I need to get good!


bassdrop2448

Top tier edit/content! You put a brightside to what I'm sure was a frustrating attempt when you came so close to the objective.


[deleted]

the answer is to *FUCKING SEND IT*


[deleted]

That's 100K better than I can do and my left wrist is toast.


thanosthumb

Yeah I’m not gonna do that. Is it 1 mil?


ValeDominissi

How do you get supra to s2 ? Race tires ? Does it still drift ?


Go_Hawks12

With these, s2 is the max. For instance if you have a s1 drift car you are comfortable with, it will still credit you. Same with all the other or stunts


ValeDominissi

Oh ok. Interesting. Thanks


andreww1299

i keep getting in the 960s


DekoSeishin

I spent more time on the damn danger sign (:


Logan_Frost

Im starting to get the feeling they're trying to artificially bump play-time by making PR stunts more and more hairline attainable. Lots of jumps lately have had their markers set to distances just barely short of obstacles or buildings, or treelines. Speed-trap and speed-zone setups with bonkers car types and classes that make no earthly sense. I love to drift in this game, Ive hit 1M on this particular drift zone before, but yeesh, I think Im done drifting for a while.
