I just got a fail on the “Cara Este” drift zone, twice, same location both times.
anyone have any idea why?
what I was doing worked okay elsewhere:
Can’t view the video but see it says rewinding in the preview pic. Cara Este seems more sensitive to looping the car or losing momentum causing a failed zone. Is that what’s happening or… ?

thanks for trying - it’s gamerdvr.com, maybe needs an account, I am unsure, it’s not really clear what the best way to post a video is
the rewinding is where the video starts, this was due to one of these fails, I rewound past the start point
the stock P50 needs a bit of gravity, needless to say, so I’m going downhill
from there, with all whatnots off, you can flick back and forth/left and right and get around 1k per “flick”, but after a few of these the counter just stopped, even though I was still moving forward within the road limits, then it just said “failed”

Ok, I see it now. There’s a minimum speed to qualify as a drift for drift points and the drift skill. If you are below that speed it won’t score points. When you get to that slow of a speed though the drift zones will fail the attempt. I’ve noticed it when just slowing for a moment to bank a skill chain. It’s pretty quick to fail. You can actually drive normally through the zone without failing it unless you slow too much. Cara Este does seem more sensitive than other zones but I think they’ll all fail if you slow too much.
So with the Peel, once you have lost some momentum stop trying to drift and get the speed back up. If you can do this I imagine you can get through the zone. It would prove an amazing amount of patience!

I see what you mean, yes. Thing is, I went much slower elsewhere, it’s just too hard to maintain speed, and I didn’t get this thing, I got 3* with both Peels (different zones). I think it’s something about Cara Este.

So yes, we agree that Cara Este does seem more sensitive. It’s my impression too but I haven’t really compared or tested it. I still believe that fail is from speed which happens in other paved zones too. I would be curious to know if they’re actually the same but maybe it’s just noticed more in Cara Este.
Were the other zones paved? I ask because I would separate the behavior of the paved vs dirt zones. In rwd dirt is inherently slower. For game play I would expect they would not fail at the same speeds.
So I would suggest taking a normal car into the zone. Part way through slow down until you get to the speed close to the Peel when it failed. I would expect the same zone fail. I looked at the vid again, it failed around 21 mph. I’d then try a few other zones to compare. It’s the easiest way I can think of to test it.

interesting; both the zones where I got the 3* were dirt, bit late now but I’ll re-read this, thanks

I also posted a while ago about Cara Este being very sensitive in a way other zones aren’t. It seemed new, which could be that Cara Este changed in some way but also could be that I just didn’t do it very often (can’t think why) so when compared with a more developed understanding of asphalt drift zones something clicked in my head that it was different (if you take my meaning).
Will have another read of your post and think. Thinking about it requires more tea, though. Thinking in general, that is, not thinking about your post specifically.
It may just be the drift zone. I completed this on Reservoir and obtained the PR stunt at the same time. I did put a video of that run up but the cloud gaming session was horrible so I wont share here
I did an earlier 3 Star+ run in the Peel to test the idea so it might be worth having a look at this and using this tune at this location if you are still struggling to complete it

thanks - I did it okay, no problem, wish I got extra for doing it stock but there we go, had to upgrade it!
thanks again
I had a chance to compare several zones this morning. Cara Este had the highest speed requirement for failing. It was in the 20-25mph range. The other paved zones I tried had lower speed requirements. Many were 5-10mph though a couple I actually had to come to a complete stop. In the one or two dirt zones I tried I had to stop to fail it. Each zone seemed to be consistent but it’s definitely not consistent across the board. I used a 70 Challenger C class and didn’t actually drift.

The first one was because you rewinded before the start, 2nd you werent gaining enough speed and angle for points to form. If you dont gain points in a period of time the zone fails. As it is thinking your trying to loop or didnt want to drift
Note: My bad just saw that @WhiteBurrito42 answered your question 
yes, understood, but I was nailing other drift zones at slower speed.
the first fail was not the rewinding, I rewound because it failed in the manner shown in the latter half of the video - the fail was the same
the technique only failed on Cara Este
in short, Cara Este is set up a bit differently
