I’m much the same with Cara Este, a million and a bit, got to 1 million then didn’t risk any more!
ABS is fine. Turn off Traction and Stability. Manual shifting. Simulation steering.
Use an overpowered lower PI car, something harder to drive straight than sideways.
The VW Pickup I recommend on reddit (scroll up for the link) was one and done at Canyon Sweep, and I’m a terrible drifter.

Spirant uses stock cars wherever possible and knows what to do, if a target is achievable in a stock car even with extreme difficulty then he’ll manage to complete it.

The old Scirocco. Got 1,159,000 in a B class drift tune.
The 60s Transit van is powerful too. As is the Fiesta 81. Love that Fiesta. 
I replied to a question he asked.
oh, thanks, yeah, I was checking that @AAORTA was turning them off rather than asking, ABS I um and ahh about whether it makes a difference, I think you’re right it doesn’t but sometimes I just get the impression that off works better, the jarring changes maybe prompt an oversteer more than a smoother one
Thanks - I do my best! This one I “cheated” for the RA drift zone; it WAS a stock car but a drift car, used it as I’d not actually driven that particular one before, think I am now down to two vehicles I’ve never driven.

Cara Este does have higher standards. There’s this “tactic” where one can drive slow through drift zones turning back and forth and get points. Idk why it’s not applied globally but guess it’s just the most difficult one. To me it’s an exploit but they’ve left it enabled.

I know that one, it’s rather odd that it works given it’s not drifting. I used it to nearly do a fairly big HW drift zone in a stock Unimog but it kept failing in the last 10%. Generally I only drift as it’s much less tedious.
