Finally, a challenge I might have a decent shot at
Having said that, you've set a pretty high bar there Yuffie :/

Well it was 2000 less but I went on earlier and I was fourth so I took another shot at it.

But I think there's loads of points left in there. It's a long enough piece of track with plenty of corners and speed zones.

OMTT, you got some drift score on the second turn. Cannot match it.

Don't even know how I got that lol I actually lost control there. It's always on the last 2 corners before the finish line that I need to do better on.

I only gave it 5-6 goes so plenty time to improve

I personally think the drifting challenges aren't right. I think there should also be an overall time score or limit. As some of the drifting isnt natural. Ie you have the car spinning right round facing opposite direction to gain that extra last bit of drift score. That should be penalised come the final time.

Just my opinion.

Not a bad thought gillyallen.

Half of the 'skill' behind drifting is knowing when to keep the drift going so you land in the ditch but get way more points and when to do the natural drift so you get a good speed going into the straight.

But a time bonus/penalty would be pretty good.

Yeah, I've seen how the really big scorers on the community challenges tend to do that thing where they max out the drift wherever it lands them, then double back to build up speed into the speed zone. I've done that when I've lost control but I've still got a decent score on that particular bend and I don't want to lose it, but deliberately doing that just seems... unless. There's a great satisfaction to the drifting events when you maintain the flow but still manage to score highly.

I hope they do something to stop that practice - maybe make it so you can't move backwards at all rather than give you a limited leeway for it.

Man that challenge is hard. I can get 1,400 - 2,000 on first turn. Around 2,000 on 2nd turn. It's there onwards I mess it up lol.

I do sometimes see someone reversing bit at the 2nd drift stage, cheater :O lol.

Server updates are rolling out right now to further improve challenges & leaderboards.

[cont] no downtime expected for this server update, but some Leaderboards in Single Event won't record new entries in next 48h (maintenance)

I sent you a friend request a few days ago but you have to accept it before I can send you the challenge.
