Fastest and easiest way to get sidewinder and drifting away achievements

This is specifically for those who want to get the drifting away and sidewinder achievements. Here’s a video that gives full detail and walk-through on how to perfectly drift. The modded Ariel Atom is super easy to control, even for beginners.

Here’s the quick steps.
-Buy an Ariel Atom and download the tuning from misterrniceguy.
-Go to the oval on Indianapolis Motor Speedway in free play. Give yourself plenty of laps. Turn off all assists except collision. You can be manual or manual + clutch.
-Approach each turn in 5th gear, the car is tuned to approach at max 185 mph in 5th gear.
-Drift away.

Hope this helps y’all!

Thanks for this, misterrniceguy. I probably wouldn’t have even thought to bother with these if not for that. I wouldn’t call it “easy” for me, as I’m pretty awful at drifting. But, I already got Drifting Away and am about 60% on Sidewinder. Nice diversion for when I can’t play MP.

Update: Done. Got the hang of it in the second attempt, went pretty quickly.

even with this method, I simply cannot do it :confused: I just can not drift to these kinds of scores, my fingers occasionally twitch out of my control making me mess up.

I really dislike these drifting achiveo’s with Forza 5…
