Non-Racing Car Drift Trial: Silverstone National Circuit

[Woodski_427]

Did this with mildly tweaked Shelby Cobra - this trial lends itself to the fat lazy torque.

Turn the driving line on and stay on it. If you're truly drifting on the driving line, from start to finish, you cannot lose.

Yes, and what makes this tricky is that this is a slow tightening corner into a faster, wider corner. Exercise restraint into the first turn, to make sure you've get a good line for the longer corner.

i finally got this done, and a few other drift challenges (i never even tried the coffee break ones until yesterday)

the driving line it shows you does not appear to be the one you should be taking. its close at some parts, like the apex of the turn, but between turns racers want to take the simplest and straightest line, but i think drifters wants something a little curvier. i dont know if the line we see is modified specifically for the seasonal challenges or not, but i am 100% sure that i ignored it when i did the coffee break challenges. some parts i could only get 400-600pts until i ignored the line and got 2000+

Watch the leaders replay and try tp copy their lines, also make sure to use comfort hard tires.

thats why i liked his advice, simply watch a leader and see what they do. even if you have a perfect drift, not being on the line is going to cost you way more than not having your car super sideways or going super fast.

The Coffee Breaks have a different scoring line. I'm usually pretty quick at finding the money line, getting enough points to get Gold and getting out. This one I had to actually try. The same old drifts I had been hitting since GT5 do not work on these two Seasonals.

So I spent 1 n half hours doing this one, started with Exeter's Aventador, got 5,6##...gave up, bought a BTR and used Shmo's tune, got around the same, kept fiddling with tires etc. I gave up, I've got a heavy thumb, it's not the car's fault.
I read up some of the comments above, about following the driving lines, fired up the Aventador again, and finally did a 5,9## 20 mins later.
I suck at drifting.

Using a Nissan S14 with 280hp over 1000 kg. Just got 6028 pts. Very hard. Is it installing a nitro could help getting more points ?

Using the Tank Car I got 7k 2nd try. For all of you having problems the Tank Car is really the way to go and no tune searching needed of course!

 

[Bluesman81977]

What's the Tank car?

What's the Tank car?

Quick! go and have a look. In Leno's garage. Then come back to us with the first thought in your mind, Rorschach style.

Then watch Topgear with 'Brutus'

 

[Bluesman81977]

I'll have to check it in the morning. if it works for this trial i may try it. What tires should i use?

Just learn how to drift few days ago cos the prize worth it. Still using the same 286hp, 1077kg Nissan without nitro. Hard to get 10,000 points. Is it due to less hp or maybe I am still rookie in drifting. Just receive my birthday car ! Hahaha...

With 3 minutes left before rankings closed I Improved my score tp 10,638 points for 43rd (my first drift trial top 50 on GT6l and I have the best score in the US!
Drifted in fourth gear using the Tank Car with power limiter at 77.7% (gave me a good boost in luck).
