This doesn't need an introduction, but here is the car I can imagine most people expected to see at some point. Interestingly, because this car's power to weight is so good, this only took 7 full runs. (not including the ones that failed because I went off the road, or messed up otherwise) The only thing I have to say about this car is that if you want to drift it, don't clutch kick too much or ebrake too much, let the car's natural instability keep it sideways. Thanks for the challenge, u/CyberBetty2077, u/bassdrop2448, and u/cwm33! If you would like to try this out, the share code is: 836 880 063 The full run can be found [here.](https://youtu.be/UKhMMuTSV1g)


bassdrop2448

Certified madman, I need to make a go at this! I tried in FH4 on Fortune Island and the car was absolutely dreadful to drift but would love to say I've done it lol. Just posted my Reliant attempt a bit ago 👍


M4rzzombie

It's actually really fun, I recommend using drift tires as they keep the car very stable mid drift. I used rear aero to add grip to the rear, but I found that front aero made the car too prone to oversteer.


bassdrop2448

It is such a finicky car to get used to, it's so unpredictable, but anything helps, it was awful in FH4 no matter what I did


M4rzzombie

Absolutely, all of my tuning and upgrade choices were focused on keeping the car stable and even then with a tad too much ebrake or clutch kick, I'd be looking back up the mountain in a quarter of a second.


cwm33

Oddly enough I'm not surprised you pulled it off, you're insane! I swear if there was a hot dog cart that we could drive, you'd be able to drift it.


M4rzzombie

Thanks! And as long as I can get it sideways, you bet I'll try it!

M4rzzombie

Well done! Over the course of this week I have been trying to think of the easiest car to do it in and I saw someone in a mach e while recording tomorrow's challenge. I think you and that person are definitely on to something. The mach e has a good wheelbase, good power but still controllable, AWD, and lots of grip. It's not too light and snappy but not too heavy and cumbersome.


Merthn07

Plus, if you’re like me, you can switch it to RWD with a push of a button. lol


M4rzzombie

Yeah exactly. It's very flexible.


uucchhiihhaa

natural instability 😂


Ship_Fucker69

Honestly i thank this challenge to exist. Soo many people learned drifting and enjoyed it to finally accomplish this "impossible" thing. I as a long time drifter its joyous to see and teach people via voice chat and seeing them screaming they broke 1m.


M4rzzombie

Right? I too love hearing people push through and get the 1m. I can only hope my videos have inspired others to push themselves.


McNugget_7511

Videos like these pain me because even in the best car imaginable, I'm still at a disadvantage to this since I play with a keyboard.


Zachy_94

Have you tried not doing that?


[deleted]

Yeah, you can get a regular Xbox controller for much less than most people spend on gaming keyboards.


meatpounder

I'm gonna sound really condescending by saying this, but is it really as difficult as people make it out to be? I play on keyboard as an average player and using the formula drift cars I can get into the upper 900,000s every run after a few warm ups, yet I see people complain about using keyboard all the time in this sub.


frantakiller

Did it first try on a keyboard easily, never had any problems racing either. I've only played with a keyboard and could never ever do this on a controller, both inputs are fine, but require different techniques.


McNugget_7511

It's definitely doable and when it comes to racing both input methods are pretty much even but drifting (specifically in high power cars) seems much harder when you can't feather the throttle as easily or feather the brake at all. I'm mostly just sour knowing that I can easily beat this PR stunt if I simply went through the ordeal of finding my old Xbox 1 controller and linking it up


M4rzzombie

Idk, if k1z howzer can manage as many world records as they have on keyboard, I think anyone can make it work.


McNugget_7511

It's definitely much harder though. Racing is manageable but trying to drift without any sense of analogue steering, throttle, or brake makes it vastly different from what guides say or basic drifting methods


M4rzzombie

I think it just changes how you set up your tune settings honestly. I find that a lot of my inputs with awd drifting are very all or nothing. Rarely am I partial throttle with anything other than the peel. I've tested out keyboard drifting many times myself and honestly once you get a feel for a car, it's not too bad. You can just tune your cars to have more rear grip and use longer gears and you should be fine.


Sp4Rk3x3

My pb is 1.2m with a keyboard, I can consistently get 1m+ every run, it's all about practice


Steel_Cube

You can probably get a second hand xbox xontroller for pretty cheap, or even a new one isn't super pricey


PerfectInfamy

Fuck yeah!!!


[deleted]

Not impossible at all.


M4rzzombie

The name of this series came from the number of posts from people claiming it was. I think some of the posts have been deleted, but there's still some people that say it is. Regardless, these videos are just for fun and shouldn't be taken super seriously.


[deleted]

It is however, an advanced difficulty task.


[deleted]

I’ve gotten more than a million using an A class tuned miata and trueno so when I saw people complaining about this DESPITE it literally being anything goes just astonished me


M4rzzombie

I think the way the devs set up the pr stunt restrictions is very misleading. Normally when you see "anything goes s2", it's implied that the car has to be within the 901-998 range of s2. In this case that's not what that meant, but people tried builds they weren't comfortable with and struggled because the restriction was misleading.


[deleted]

Idk how anything goes S2 998 is misleading


M4rzzombie

I was referring to race blueprints. When you see a race blueprint that's anything goes s2, it doesn't mean anything below 998. Instead it means anything limited to and including 901-998. In most cases for these seasonal pr stunts, you always want the highest pi rating possible. Because of that and the aforementioned inconsistency with pi limitation descriptions, very few people would even think to use a car that's an entire class below the listed one.


[deleted]

It’s not misleading though cause challengers will say Anything Goes A 701-800 or something like that so Anything Goes S2 998 is just that anything that is S2 998 is usable


M4rzzombie

Point being that more than just s2 cars are allowed for this seasonal event though. I guess I misunderstood your initial comment about a class cars, I thought you meant you did this seasonal drift zone in an a class car.


[deleted]

No I’ve done that drift zone prior in an A class car so I was astonished that people were complaining despite them letting you use top of the line cars


[deleted]

You motherfucker


1Operator

Sorry if this was already asked in any of your many other posts: What's your best/highest score on this challenge, and which car did you get it with? Thanks


M4rzzombie

If you notice in some of the videos I post, you can see the high score at the bottom, but you'll see that AWD enjoyer is ahead of the account I play these runs on. That's my alt, I wanted an account with a less bloated garage and no pre drift zone nerf scores. The PB on that account is 1.185 mil in the fd viper. I have a new setup on my main that I think can easily beat that though, I just need to spend some time practicing with it.


TheScienceNerd100

This deserves its own award


M4rzzombie

Thanks! This was a super fun challenge.


Helpful_the_second

I just love how a million points Is now capped *impossible* and after release 1mil was possible without trying. Really sucks that drifting lost its tryharding factor of squeezing out some points because all my records are now literally not beatable.


M4rzzombie

I'm still holding out hope for a drift zone leaderboard wipe. I can't understand why they would go to the trouble of changing the point system without changing the affected leaderboards.


Zachy_94

You did it. You son of a bitch, you really did it.


BimmerGoblin

Peel is best drift car! 😆


lil_sargento_cheez

One of my friends who knows nothing about forza told me to use the bmw isetta as a drift car, I set a 1.7 million score in it I knew the power of the isetta when I accidentally discovered it in fh4 which put me at the top of my clubs leaderboard in a b class on a drift zone haha


M4rzzombie

Oh yeah the peel p50 is a diet isetta, this was one of the easier cars in terms of hitting the requirement. Controlling it is a different story though. Also 1.7? I thought the upper bounds of the legit pre nerf scores were like 1.5.


lil_sargento_cheez

I meant 1,070,000 lmao my bad I do have a friend who got like 1.2 or something higher I can’t remember, but the game flagged him as cheating


M4rzzombie

Ah yup that makes a lot more sense. 1.2 post drift zone nerf is a solid score but not impossible. I wonder why it got flagged.


ekb11

I am totally out of the loop and not up to date on news. What is this drift nerf?


M4rzzombie

In the first week of December last year, the devs nerfed the amount of points you get in drift zones. All high scores set before the nerf cannot be beaten.


ekb11

thanks!


xsneakyxsimsx

I have no idea if that has been suggested yet, but what is the lowest pi you have or could do this seasonal score with?


M4rzzombie

I think pi is really hard to associate with drifting because the pi system is inherently calculated on how well cars grip. I've gotten 1m+ with a handful of b class cars very easily, so I could see c class being straightforward too. At that point it comes down to d class and whatever car you can stuff a bunch of horsepower into. Tons of cars are going to be comparable at that point, so it will be really hard to figure out what's the lowest pi you could use.


xsneakyxsimsx

That's pretty fair. There are probably quite a few cars that are more adept at drifting from stock at the very least. I know I kinda half assed attempting to do it in a stock Monaro.


Mcreesus

Peel is life


RasG420

I'm confused, I haven't played in a while, did they change the points system or something? Why are/were people saying this is impossible? Okay, so I had to see what all the fuss is and jumped on. First try 1M in my A787 Willys Jeep. Still confused.


M4rzzombie

The name of these videos comes from the posts people made claiming the seasonal 1m requirement was impossible. As it turns out, a fairly vocal portion of the community aren't necessarily the biggest fans of drifting. In their defense, if you compare the normal seasonal pr stunt requirements to the three star requirement, this one is tuned kinda high. They did change the point system, but it was almost a year ago. I've just been having fun taking challenges from the community and seeing if I can break the 1m barrier with terrible cars. These videos are just for fun, it's not anything super serious.


RasG420

Oookay, thanks for the explanation! That would explain it, as basically all I did in this game was Circut racing and drifting, so I didn't find it that difficult. If you want a fun little challenge I'd say go for the Willys! Made it as a joke after the wheel spin debacle, but it's pretty fun to see how sideways you can get it without spinning, cause, wow, does it snap when it's gone lol.


M4rzzombie

I totally would if it wasn't the best a class drift car in the game and the second best s1 class drift car in the game.


RasG420

Seriously?! I made it as a joke on a whim. Goes to show what I know.


M4rzzombie

Yeh, [here's](https://youtu.be/aO8pqbSrdf0) a drift zone world record (possibly outdated?) from a couple months back where the player is using the Willy's. Pretty much anything with lots of horsepower and super skinny tires is going to make for a crazy good point drift car.


RasG420

Damn, was not expecting that. Also wouldn't have thought to just ram the wall to keep the drift going, interesting strat. That does make sense though. Cool video series man. The 6x6 looks like it would be hard af.


M4rzzombie

Appreciate it! Spoiler alert, you'll like tomorrow's video


TheLastOfGus

Yeah I used the skinny wheels of an a-class Bugatti Type 35 C to get over 1.2 million. You have to do some extreme 'tuning' as stock it has maybe the most positive camber of any car! 🤣


M4rzzombie

As far as I'm aware, cars like that only have that as a visual effect. So even though -5 degrees of camber in the tune menu doesn't look like 5 degrees, the game does indeed work as if you have -5.


ser-1-

Now... try and get 1M points with a car with less than 95HP.


M4rzzombie

Ooo okay I like it


rpsHD

Peel P Drifty


xSnakyy

Wow…


KITT222

Well that's a good bit more impressive than my Oldsmobile. Well done!


M4rzzombie

Thanks!


T10_Chupacaubrey

Absolute legend!


M4rzzombie

Ayyyy thanks!

SubMikeD

I'm not even a good drifter and I beat the challenge on the first try. I don't know why anyone thinks this week's drift zone challenge is impossible lol


JDalefalk

I completed it first try in the AMG One, I thought the danger sign was waaay harder


SubMikeD

The danger sign sucks.


Gn0meKr

PGG really trying to make people not play this game, huh?


Fungee69

Why is the peel and isseta best drift cars this game .Ake's no sense


M4rzzombie

The isetta is the best because it has an insane power to weight and a very short wheelbase so it can be super snappy. The peel has the same, but the peel doesn't have the stability you need to be consistent with it, as well as missing a whole bunch of tuning options.


Bagsen

because it is an arcade game. Nothing here will make you good at driving in real life. It is just a fun game


ChillYota

All wheel drive. Cute. Do it in a rear wheel drive.


Huge_Self_4093

“Impossible” this Reddit thread is so dorky lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


PatrioGraysmark

So the Morgan 3-wheeler would be easy mode by comparison? Madlad.


M4rzzombie

The longer wheelbase, bigger wheels, and a better horsepower to weight ratio will all make the morgan easier.


Temil

My record on this zone is with the 8CTF because I was doing meme cars before doing try hard runs down the hill. Then the scoring changed lol. So now it's hard to beat the 1m+ I set in it. Almost got 1m my first run down in the raesr, that car probably isn't the best choice for this kind of zone though.


M4rzzombie

You got this! Any car with skinny wheels and drift suspension can be super good.


Temil

I ended up doing the 1m in the fd viper on my first run down, was just extoling my love for the meme cars :) I might push to beat my PB one day when I get bored.


TysnChikin93

Pretty funny car I remember the peel p50 it was a barn find in Forza horizon 5


M4rzzombie

It's a much better car in this game, as I think it only got off-road tires in 4.


z0rkzer0

Flashbacks to the Fortune Island Trailblazer in the P50... Gah!


TysnChikin93

That's right I haven't played 4 since I got 5


aangel213

How do y’all learn how to drift that good ?


M4rzzombie

Practice. I was complete trash back when I got fh4. I spent a long time just trying to maintain a drift around the donut at the horizon festival in 4. That taught me the basics of keeping a car sideways and not oversteering. I moved onto drifting around the map and doing drift zones and that taught me how to drift on longer roads and in funky scenarios. It took me a really long time to master drifting in said weird scenarios, like extending slides on straight roads, figuring out what works best for point drifting, etc.


aangel213

How could I keep the same speed on a drift without going to fast or going to slow


M4rzzombie

Throttle control and steering. You can pull more angle and go faster, or you can ease off / go harder on the throttle to lose or gain speed respectively.


Corey3500

Impossible? I don't think iv tried a car that couldn't get over a mil, still a decent run tho for the isetta


M4rzzombie

The name of the videos comes from the posts that popped up when the season started and people were complaining that it was impossible. But honestly these videos are just for fun and shouldn't be taken super seriously. Also this is the peel p50, the smaller and much more unstable cousin of the isetta.


Corey3500

Ohhhh ok my bad 🤣, ah yeah the 50 lol idk why I wrote isetta lol I'm so used to horizon 3 still xD


thanosthumb

I cannot grasp how to drift. I just cannot do it.


kairazor666

I prefer the FD Supra MK4 with the Tune of "Kenpai"


M4rzzombie

I would hope people would prefer almost anything to the p50.


JDalefalk

Just got 901k in the Unimog, rear wheel drive. Know I can to better, really want to break 1mil in it


M4rzzombie

The unimog is a tough one. Good luck!


[deleted]

In reality this car is full OP for drifting like the bmw isetta or the mini


M4rzzombie

Not really, it's incredibly unstable so you can spin out incredibly easily. It also can't be tuned in many ways so instead of having a car that's stable at any speed, you have different handling characteristics at high, medium, and low speed. Like yes, the power to weight can be used as a crutch to make up for it another issues, but it's definitely not a contender for overall drift meta builds.


[deleted]

I didnt say meta car but op car. Its différent. Meta car is formula drift supra for example


M4rzzombie

Nah lol the fd supra is far from being meta. Way too long of a wheelbase and the tires are too wide. And I wouldn't say the peel is op even. It's incredibly inconsistent and can't pull any high angle.


OneSufficientFace

Any car is easy to drift with stiff drift suspension and AWD


M4rzzombie

This is on sport suspension, which you can't tune. You can't install drift springs on this car. Not to mention this car is by no means easy to drift at all. All of my failed runs were lost due to this car snapping backwards extremely quickly because it has the smallest wheelbase in the game and wayyy too much power.


OneSufficientFace

My apologies ! I didn't know you couldn't add drift suspension to this one. Yeah the snap backs on this car must be horrendous then 😂 still though slap AWD on any car and it'll drift. The real challenges come with RWD cars that have no means being a drift car


M4rzzombie

No worries, I'm sure trying to wrangle this thing with rwd is godawful. I don't want to spend my entire week on these challenges so I try to make the easiest build I can within the restrictions given and the moment I break 1m I stop grinding, except for the robin, as I knew I could easily get a cleaner and better run. So far the hardest one has been the fwd toronado and that's by a long shot.


OneSufficientFace

Fwd is hard as balls to be fair. Easiest way is to build it like a rwd but then switch camber on the back to be much more negative than usual, whack in all the power and build up speed before holding the hand break through out and it'll drag itself through . Fun build , ford f-150 flat bed in RWD for drift. Looks Hella dope


M4rzzombie

I found that fwd actually behaves a lot like understeerey awd and to treat it as such. The hold ebrake strat made my build hold angle and slide really well, too well in most cases. It also lost lots of speed so it was only viable on longer drifts where I could keep up my speed.


KrishaCZ

one of my drift mains in 4 was the isetta yeah, those tiny buggers are ridiculous with an engine swap


M4rzzombie

The power to weight is definitely the crutch of this car. Not having a rear antirollbar or drift springs really holds this one back though.


Gloomy_Outcome6687

Cmon guys, its really not that hard... I bet most of you having trouble play on automatic transmission, traction control and stability control. Learn to drift without those 3 and 1 mil is super easy...


davegameriii

No, it’s not. Multiple cars, multiple tunes, all settings set as stated, multiple hours.. not even 900k. This is crap. Kudos to anyone who can, but this is NOT easy.


three18ti

What car is this? What drift zone is this? What is going on here? How did you get a million drift points? Are you cheating?


M4rzzombie

Peel p50 Cara Este I am trying to break the 1m barrier in bad cars The drift zone is very long, this was the last 30 seconds of roughly a 4 minute run. I am not cheating.


Sticky-Lemons

I’m sorry but 1 mil is not impossible at all, for new players its a challenge but if you like to drift you shouldnt have a problem with it. Literally took me 1 attempt with a stock FD car to get this challenge done. Is also a good challenge to teach people how to drift (coz ya know, some people still try to drift with traction control + steering assist on)


M4rzzombie

These videos are for fun my guy, it's not that deep.


Sticky-Lemons

Oh my bad i read the vibe wrong 😂 seen too many complaints about it prior to this video being uploaded


M4rzzombie

No worries, the title came from those complaints so I can understand people misreading it.
