First, you gonna need good vehicle for drifting. I would recomend this one:
But you should be able to finish it with any you wanna/are good with.

If you wanna see my upgrades, here they are. Generally if you have 16-18 lvl upgrades, you are good to go.


But the most important thing I found out is to have manual gearbox. Can't overstate it enough. Before that, my score was bad and it was very anoying to finish all drift areas. After I found out that having car in 4. gear somehow makes score go waaaay higher than before, I had to replay maybe one location. Once you go for drift zones, just go to the settings and set it to manual. After you are done, switch it back.


Hopefully this will save you some nerves and make achievement hunt way easier.
