I only get around 400 on drift section 2 😞
I'd imagine you're not carrying enough speed into the second drift section. You might have to sacrifice some points on the first turn to get a lot of points in the second.

I've been de-throned! Now I know why Yuffie chose a drift event gonna be very tough to beat that score...
It's my strongest suit

Although on the global leaderboards someone has over 9k

Don't know if it's just me or drift challenges go like:

First go; fluke a reasonable score
Next 10 mins failing to beat that score.
Finally set better time
Next 15 mins utterly failing to get near it
Give up

Next day
2nd go set a score 15% better than yesterdays
Then spend 30 mins getting scores almost exactly the same, never better.
Give up

In this challenge I can see how 9k is possible, although doing it is another matter. I think you need to be 70+ mph coming out of the first drift, and drift all around the 2nd without turning back on yourself and biffing the wall (as ifrits current ghost does). I spend ages today getting the first half done right, but then have repeated brain failure on the last corner and lose 500+ every-time, argh!

Was having a go before and it does seem the more goes you have the worse you get sometimes.

Oh sorry. I accepted you but you didn't show as part of the club so I sent you a request to it too. See what happens.

Well my 2nd and 4th drifts were down on the previous best, so there is points left in it. But I won't get on again so if I'm beaten, that's it.

Cheers Yuffie I'm in now
Cool.

Fed up. That last corner is doing my head in. How the **** did you get over 1000 on it ???

Was determined to try and beat you Yuffie, but have given up now.

Dunno. It was lucky really. The guys who were watching will confirm that most of the time I didn't get anywhere near 1000 on the last corner most of the time. Although I rarely get to the last corner before I rage restarted every lap.

Saying that, my scores on the 2nd and 4th corners are very beatable. You should be able to make up points on those.

Lol, I was watching, I saw you set your best lap, and I still don't know how you did it!

Well happy with my score so just going to leave it as is.

I wish that you could pick which ghosts appear or could watch someone else's replays like in Trials Fusion, would help in the drift tours a lot.

I'm getting Trials Fusion flashbacks by the fact that Yuffie and Claymore are beating me.

Lol, I've recorded 85 attempts!

Ah well, I've got a spare half hour, may as well take it up to the 100

Yeah claymore I was surprised at my number of attempts too. Didn't feel like that.

30 points...30 measly points.

100 attempts! Not doing any more. If I could've scored the same as Yuffie on the last corner I'd have been in the 9,000s.

Well this is probably going to be my worst result ever? I find drifting annoyingly tedious anyway, even though I'm still fairly decent at it (I did win the last drift challenge after all!), but with the slow cars it's even worse as it's harder to find that rhythm of what works and what doesn't.

Quick, everyone pick a drift event with a slow car ....
