Thought there would be more people up for this kind of a challenge!
Anyway, I got a gold with 6164 in my trusty Subaru 360 at 60 BHP.
I think I could get around 7000 with a good run but that would be the limit. The hardest part is keeping momentum in that left-right-left combo, without hitting the barriers.👍
Just a quick question about drifting? Do you guys use a wheel or the controller for drift trials? I find it much easier to drift with the controller. I use the Logitech G25 for racing though. Nice and precise and pretty good for small drifts during the races but when going totally sideways my hands could never catch the slides.

Honestely, is there a clue about drift-challenges? I merely get to the end of a challenge without screaming louder than my lungs allow me. I never really was interested in drifting, i always was more of a clean racer, for this i have no idea about settings...is there anyone out there who could give me some hints? I think the settings are very important, but i do not know if the car has to be stiff/weak, what about toe angle? It would be quite cool if someone could give me some startertips on me account, as i am not a forum pro and do not have so much time to doublecheck answers given directly in the thread...thx in advance coolest and best forum

For me it was just a bit of practice - I only started drifting when the trials started paying out. Don't get hung up on settings for beginning as long you as use a decent FR, or even MR, my only caveat would be to avoid understeer. To squeeze the more out of a car you'll then need to look at setup. Getting the technique(s) down is the key.
As a relative noob myself, my advice is to try out a few FR cars and stick with one you make progress with. Don't go mad with power: 200-250BHP is plenty to start with in a smallish car. Start with CH tyres especially with lower HP and avoid bigger heavy cars.
The '00 AE86 Trueno Shigano edition is a great stock drifter. Try RX7s, S2000s, 3 series BMW etc, or power-up 60s, 70s Skyline GTRs...
I'm no drifter but I used to be able to make golds using my Cobra or Stingray set up for racing rather than drifting. I suspect the previous DTs had tires with more grip or have I just lost it?
i struggled with the first couple of drift trials but i would be confident i could gold them all in any car except for fwd obviously and with the right tune
also i use a wheel, i got an old driving force from the ps2 on ebay for £7.00!!
It only has 300 degree lock so its really handy for getting opposite lock, although im much better with the ds3
tip for using ds3, put the sensitivity to 7 and use toe out whish creates oversteer which flicks the back end then use opposite lock and power to catch it
M3 csl was my learner car, and if you learn in something really hard to handle like the Pontiac tempest or yellowbird then you will handle anything
Set my garage to display cars ordered by lowest power to highest.
Picked the first car in the list , try to quess what it is.
I happened to have 3 of this car one with 14627km on the clock , second with 301306km and 3rd with 386580km.
The last 2 displayed same power level and PP so I picked the one I liked the least.
The 301306km one , I paid almost full prize for this permanently engine damaged piece of 🤬 .
The car starts at 13 BHP / 495kg and 199 PP (Comfort Medium tyres)
Oh , it's FWD.
So , I took this car to the Seasonal Events: London Drift Trial.
High Scores as it rose with new parts installed and with tweaks to setup:
Target
Gold 6000
Silver 5400
Bronze 3900
2789
3087
3744 installed exhaust
3960
4867 adjusted suspension and added power
4972
5518 added full power and adjusted gears + added clutch and flywheel
5929 now I got lucky
5986 So close!!

Yep , E-brake to get a 19 BHP 2CV sideways.
With more powerfull FWDs a scandinavian flick works.
But E-brake is easyer.
But with the 2CV it was just ridiculous , E-brake , turn wheel , again E-brake , and turn wheel. (oh no , going way too slow)
Repeat about 10 times in first sector and many more in last 2 sectors.
I just wanted to thank all the persons which helped me out and also pointed out that there actually is a thread about drifting, i just forgot about that! Anyway thx, super forum here with lots of good people!! Cheers
