I simply can’t do it. I have completed all 44 others, but an Australian passenger car stands between me and finishing all the bucketlists. apart from the “don’t spin” advice…
Any tips?

Try youtube, I remember a lot of people having grief with that one
I’m not a skilled drifter and doing so on the golf course is no easy task, but if you can string together a good amount of high-speed slides, jumps and sideswipes, you’ll rack up the skill points rather quickly. The key is just keeping that chain going, thus holding onto the multiplier that will get you to the goal much, much quicker.
I tried to drift, jump and use the fences and bushes (sideswipe points) to gain points. Like said, keep the chain up and be sure you unlocked all the perks (they really help here).
The easy way is to get up onto the highway/freeway and use that. Rack up as many points as you can on your way there and then use speed and near misses.
This is the method I used. Beat it first try after trying the actual way a billion times and throwing my controller.
It also helps to have acquired the Perks that make it easier to build massive skill points, like Drift Star, Hang On, Risk Taker, Skill Legend, and Skill Shortcut.
For me the Skill Legend perk was the one that got me over the 150K goal, but I also hit the highway vs. staying at the golf course.
My XBox recorded my Skill streak during that challenge.

If you stick to the pavement and can get some speed you can get some good drifts going. Also take note of the jumps and fences in the area before doing this event and try not to destroy them.
Once you start the event, head out of the golf course and turn right onto the highway. Here, gather some speed and turn right onto the grass field and drive so you’re taking out the fence. You can get some sideways action going, if you’re comfortable, as you smash the fence. There will be a break in the fence and a chance for a little bit of air - don’t wreck your streak here - and then the fencing continues. Continue around the golf course smashing the fence.
If you start with all the fence there and you do this correctly, you should get enough points from driving around the golf course through the fence to pass the event. The only challenge then becomes not breaking your streak by landing funny, hitting a tree, or spinning out. I did it this way and cleared a 6.0 multiplier with enough points for the challenge and all I did was drive through the fence with minial drifting.
YYYEEEEESSSSSS!!! Finally just beat them all! These were a doozy!! Like everyone mentioned above the SS, Huayra, and M4 are, BY FAR, the hardest with a few others being a real pain.
Huayra - 200 mph Speed Trap
I couldn’t get 200 mph using my typical automatic (right at the speed trap it seems to shift up to 7th most of the time), so I had to usual manual. To get done I had to hit the left-hand bank turn no less than 138 mph. Actually, you can break rather early and apex early too (by mid-turn I was hard on the gas). Try not to break (but may let off accelerator) on the immediately following right hand slight turn, but after than you should be flooring it. (Note: If by the intersection right after that right-hand soft turn you’re not right around 170 mph then forget it and start over) Finally, during the home stretch I left it in 6th and maxed out. Keep on the gas, and pray to the racing gods you make it through at 200!
As posted previously, this person has a nice demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6h10MocjhwSS Chevy - 150k Skill in 3 minutes
I despised skill challenges because I wasn’t any good at drifting; that is, until I completed this! LOL! Forget the golf course and just head for the freeway to the south. When you arrive, bust a U-ey and floor it doing near misses, needle-threading, etc. From time to time you may have to e-drift to keep the skill chain going. Note: It seems to help if you start you chain from the very beginning, but that requires a lot of drifting until you get to the freeway. If you leave the chain until the free you need to be almost perfect because of the time requirement, so pick your poison.BMW M4 - 65 mph Speed Zone
I did mine the regular way (uphill). The trick is actually at the beginning. Get as much speed as possible coming into the zone. By the time you start breaking for the first turn you should be at about 95+ mph, and coming out of that first turn you MUST be over 60 mph. Then floor it, break late, and turn hard into the last turn and you should make it. But really, the faster you go into the zone at the beginning the easier this becomes. Oh yeah, and F^*K traffic getting in the way!
Nice demo, also posted previously https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzPAMfWHd84Other Challenge Notes
Jag & Airstrip - Like someone else posted, I found if you ditch the side dirt road the GPS wants you to follow and head kinda straight for the bridge (you’ll go very few trees) it shaves off time. Also when you pass through the airport gates, forget the GPS line and cut straight through.
Mustang @ Docks - Jump, drift to other jumps, drift again, and jump again. Rinse & repeat in a big oval.
370z in Nice - Just try and hammer through the two turns as one big long one so you have momentum and get get on the gas coming out of the 2nd turn.Hope some of this helps!
BTW: This person has some great demos of all the bucket lists. Not the methods I used, but he/she gets them done anyway. As of the time of my post, DJ hadn’t posted all of the third bucket list. videos. https://www.youtube.com/user/DJKustoms/featured
Just drift through the fences, remember to keep transitioning the car in order to get more points.
I wish these drifting Bucket List challenges were harder.
My strategy for bucket lists is easy. I just avoid them because I find them unpleasant to do.
thanks for all the tips
BTW I do have all the perks
Switch to manual gearbox - stick it in 2nd gear and throttle.
There are two effective strategies I can recommend.
1: Smash up everything in the start area, and be sure to work the trashcans into your combo for the bonuses they give. without losing your combo, chain-drift your way to the entrance. Try and topple a sapling or two for the “landscaping” bonus. Once you reach the entrance area, start tearing up the fence, drifting as you do so to earn “sideswipe” bonuses. If you lose your rhythm, try and make it to the pavement and light up the rear tyres, scoring a quick “burnout” to keep your combo alive.
2: Start out the same, but chain-drift your way to the highway onramp. Haul butt down the highway in the opposing lanes, and build a mighty chain of “speed” and “near miss” skills until victory is yours. Make sure you dart between cars for the “threading the needle” bonuses.
The key to either method is an unbroken skill chain. Best of luck!
are there any aids I should have on/off?
(I race with rewind, full driving line and ABS)
