Here, in the environments section
i screen captured them and pieced the bits together in Fireworks
i have some of them available in full in
My Photo Bucket
I'm missing a few from that site, but they tend to be tracks that dont really interest me in terms of drifting.

and ya, thats exactly the problem, is the speed. Swift suggested i try doing them in reverse. So this is how I've spent my morning. Going in the reverse direction can hold the drift a tad longer due to the increased entry speeds from coming down the backstraight - but then you have to do the second corner (turn 9 in my diagram) going uphill. I've pulled it off both ways only a handful of times in an FR, and each is really ugly lookin and more often than not has a wall tap or multiple wheel offs.
