How to unlock the Drift Club Island achievement

    This achievement is very easy... There's only 7 events and you use the formula drift cars...

    ::::FOR 3 STARS::::
    Stage 1 - 120,000 - Follow the route with the blue marker
    Stage 2 - 190,000 - Follow the route with the blue marker
    Stage 3 - 300,000 - Follow the route with the blue marker
    Stage 4 - 250,000 - Follow the route with the blue marker DO NOT TURN RIGHT, OR GO ROUND THE BACK OF THE MOUNTAIN, CONTINUE STRAIGHT UNTIL YOU SEE THE BLUE DOT FOR THE FINISH LINE
    Stage 5 - 500,000 - Ignore the route to the RIGHT and TURN LEFT AT THE START, head down hill the same way STAGE 1 takes you, Turn RIGHT again where STAGE 2 ends, follow road to the end, TURN LEFT and you should be at the top of the Festival drift around there for remaining points to 500,000k
    Stage 6 - 450,000 - Follow the route with the blue marker... But be quick as this track can catch you out on time if your slow
    Stage 7 - 1,000,000 (easier than it sounds) - Follow the route with blue marker, yiu should have at least 600k by the time you get to the festival as that's half way marker, there's bags of time, I usually hit the finish line with about 1 min 30 secs to go...

    Now if you like me, and your not very good at drifting this is my setup for doing all of the above 3 stars...

    Turn ABS, Traction and Stability OFF
    Gears Manual
    Rewind ON (just in case you need it)

    Now as the race starts you want to press the B button twice to get you into 3rd gear and that's it... No need to change fearing as these cars are so powerful that you don't need to worry about speed...

    Also once I got to the amount needed for 3 stars I quickly headed for the finish line, there is tones of time and you should get it no bother :-)

    Any other help needed just ask

    Cheers
    Dryden

    EDIT: If doing this with a partner the person with the highest DRIFT POINTS scored is what the team score will end as... I noticed this today (01/01/2019) with StopSpazinOut... After they asked me for help, and his achievement popped at the end of the 1 million point challenge

    EDIT 2: As of today (13/04/19) I helped PirS92 to do this achievement, and it took a few tries, PirS92 was falling behind (not his fault) and before you used to be able to cut across the grass to catch up this was failing the events... Not sure if this is cause of updates... So NOW:::

    - You can still gain the achievement with your partner getting the highest score
    - YOU MUST STICK TO THE ROADS/DIRT ROADS, its OK to swerve a drift onto the edge of the grass, but full OFFROADING NO!!
    - If you want to cut to catch up, make sure you check the map to see if a road rejoin an event to get to the finish line

    EDIT 3: While recently helping another member I noticed we where failing every event in co-op even when I was hitting more than the 3 STAR marker... I asked the person to try and gain 1 STAR in each event while I continued to get 3 STARS...

    So 1 player has to gain at least 1 star and the other has to gain the amount for all 3 stars

    ElSelchoGreat solution! Got everything on my first try without much trouble. Thumbs up!

    FiveWizzGod this achievement is humbling it's tough as nails. Can't get past stage 5. I'd consider myself just above poor at drifting as I did manage to 3 star all the main game drift zones but for some reason finding this so tough. The scores are so huge for such a short time.

    I haven't tried manual gears yet so there's still a lifeline.

    Edit: Doh I had traction control still on. Turning that off helped massively on stage 5. There may still be hope

    AbsohailGreat advice. I followed your instructions about the route. However, I kept traction control, ABS on and kept it on auto. I have trouble controlling the car with traction and abs off. The routes itself are pretty easy to hit the target. I didnt go try to get high on leaderboards as I just wanted the achievements. The only problem with auto transmission is that most of the drifts had to be done around 70-110kmph speed which did hinder me a little but I was able to easily 3 star almost all of them with time to spare and extra scores.

    A couple things I will point out. With my setup I had trouble with stage 5(one where the finish line is at festival) because by the time I got to festival I needed about 120k. Luckily, I had a lot of time and just kept drifting around the festival until I hit the mark. I finished that stage with only 5 seconds to spare.
    The final stage(stage 7) was quite easy. I only had a score of around 420k when I reached the festival but I managed to hit 1M with about 2km left and roughly 2mins on the time. The moment I hit 1M, i went offroad to complete it as fast possible skipping the last few turns. My advice is keep going if you dont hit 500k by the time you reach festival. Chances are you might get 1M when you reach the final destination.

    x1001x PuppysStage 5 was a bit of a doozy trying to follow OP's advice. Way too hard to remember "where stage 1 ends, where stage 2 ends, etc." Failed like 5 times trying to create my own weird route. I tried out the manual trick and that is what helped. I followed the intended route and got nearly 600k with 15 seconds to spare. I left manual on (because I am lazy) and by kicking it into third gear, stage 6 and 7 were a breeze.

    Swerve C10Use chase view. Easier to spot when the car has too much angle. Sometimes the games vibration feedback is misleading.

    On straights, dont just drive. Flick the thumbstick a little + let off the gas momentarily and then smash the gas to land some high speed drifts that are fairly easy to control. You can bank 50-80k pretty quickly on some routes before you get to the technical stuff.

    Before a corner try having the nose of the car pointed in the opposite direction and/or slightly turn the opposite direction + lift off gas, then 70-100% throttle (less gas for tight turn and more for wider arcs) + turn in direction of the corner. This will start a drift every time. After that counter steer and play with gas to keep the drift going.

    Tap the brake and turn into a corner if you need the car to pivot to another direction. Braking really isn't needed much for these cars though. Coasting and throttle play work pretty well.

    Stage 1-3 3rd gear only and you should be bouncing off the rev limiter. The engine shouldn't be bogging and if so you are going too slow. BMW wants to do donuts the most. Just rewind and adjust throttle or steering input or both.

    Stage 4 - 3rd gear on road and 4th gear off road. Most points should be earned before off road section. Car is balanced well and can be abused.

    Stage 5 - 4th gear on straights. It'll help you complete last quarter really quick. Don't let off gas abruptly. Car doesn't seem to like it. Weight shift is an issue. You pretty much have to feather the gas throughout. Car really grips in 4th gear speed sections.

    Stage 6 - easiest stage and car combo. Car has good grip and can really be manhandled. 3rd gear for tighest sections and 4th gear for rest. 3rd gear throughout should be fine too. I ended up with well over 700k points. The 3 star target is low.

    Stage 7 - really grippy car that sometimes grips too much. 3rd gear is ok for some of mountain section, but car is much better in 4th. If your point total is low after mountain don't worry. Drifting on straights in 4th will net a lot of points. A lot of the remaining path are wider roads so less precision is needed and car can be abused. Ended with 1.6 million points.
