Felt like commenting for the first time for the numerous drifting issues that we see in this forum. I never lost a drift race/test, unless I was distracted myself(in other words except my own fault).

Drifting & by that I mean DRIFTING & NOT wiggly thing that we mostly see in the videos are best done by keeping it smooth and absolutely no sudden movements whatsoever. It helps greatly in cornering perfectly as seen in the rally stages as well.

If you have upgraded the car way too high its a problem sometimes. But you cant degrade the upgrades. So best case options are to either not use the nitro or use it only when you see a rectilinear piece of track. Try NOT to gain unnecessary speed, it dosent help. Drifting, like in the real world is all about smoothness & balance, no wiggling. Also try not to get out of the drift, unless you see a long piece of track without drift gates, or a ramp of any sort as that leaves you airborne which might be problematic if you don't know where you are landing (often ends up in a crash).

If you see the QC requirement more than 10 in the drifting test, its best understood to be done in 2 parts, as sub goals or not, will make it difficult. Its better always not to rush in a drift as it almost always results in a crash, thereby losing the main goal often. Practice is the key & for most people in A8, drifting is at a bottom end priority. Try to practice a bit more, like cycling or swimming, it'll come automatically after a while & you'll never forget it.

Smoothness & balance (with patience, hope its understood) are the key words and a good drifter actually shows REAL SKILLS. Happy driving. 🙂
