How to unlock the Drifts for Days achievement in Forza Horizon 3 - Definitive Guide

You DO NOT have to do these in a drift zone
Drifts and/ or e-drifts count towards the Hot Wheels drift skill (credit to alladaskill17)

I did them in the half pipe at the north end of the Hot Wheels Island map, using the Hot Wheels Mustang stock at S1 900

Credit goes to OdadjianActual for this next part, I should have put this myself the first time, but I'm new to writing solutions so I didn't do to well. But well enough you guys are still voting positive and I appreciate it. Anyways, on to the rest by OdadjianActual:

"Hot Wheels" Drift is just the "next level" category... hard to explain, but in the past it used to be like this:

Hold a drift for a little bit: you'd get a "GREAT" drift message on-screen
Hold a drift for a little bit longer: you'd get an "AWESOME" drift message on-screen
Hold a drift for even longer: you'd get an "ULTIMATE" drift message on-screen.

And "ULTIMATE" used to be the highest goal you could achieve with respect to drifting. But they added a new category called "Hot Wheels" drift.

So basically, to make a long story short, to get a "Hot Wheels" drift, you just need to initiate a drift and have it last a little longer than an ULTIMATE drift normally would.

And do that five times with the Hot Wheels Mustang.

Should be noted that REWINDING DOES WORK in giving you another Hot Wheels drift skill. Credit goes to ReynoldsM for pointing this out.



Clip has been updated, enjoy a better view of it :)

If you down vote, PLEASE explain why so that I may learn. I'm just starting out with writing these.

Okay I think I actually have the right car - it looks exactly like the one Kimalto has in his guide.

My question is what am I doing wrong lol. I mean how do you get a "Hot Wheels Drift" specifically? I was just doing five random drifts/e-drifts.

Should be noted that if you get a good run at this and get one of the drifts needed for the achievement you can REWIND and do the exact same thing again 4 more times till it pops. Just checked it myself now and it works.

Saying you can rewind is a little misleading. You still have to do 5 separate drifts. You can't just rewind to the middle of your drift and then keep ending the same drift 5 times, because you lose your drift combo when you rewind. Just go to the big orange halfpipe just above the autoshow and you can easily get 5 just driving back and forth in there, no rewinds necessary.

Can you do this on the main game map with the car and get it ? I think those zones are better since you cannot fall from actual ground (here is not the case, usually drift zones are with danger of fall on the inner zones)

Rewind does not work. You either need to start again, or rewind all the way back past where you started your drift.

I used this tune:
Creator: watlimes211
Tune: best drift
Worked like a charm in that half pipe.

If you get an ultimate drift you will get it, and also, you need to rewind way back the beginning of the drift and redo your drift, it dosent work, just that if you did a drift somewhere and it works, just rewind and do it right there again , cause why not ?

This solution is the one that worked for me.

Still a pox - a pox, I say!! - on the House of Forza for making me do anything related to drifts.

Even The Fast and the Furious fans know drifting sucks - evidenced by the pitiful box office take of the cesspool of the franchise: Tokyo Drift - a turd of a movie if there ever was one!!

(Ok, on a more serious note, that Hot Wheels Mustang does not want to drift. It took like 100 attempts and 30 minutes of rewinds to finally get this POS achievement. I got so sick of getting to an "Ultimate Drift" skill and then seeing a "Burnout" skill I couldn't see straight.

Use the aformentioned halfpipe, speed is your friend, and rewind is your ally. Oh, and drift related achievements are stupid.)

Oh man Fury, I was having so much trouble with this until you mentioned to download a tune. After installing a tube, I got a drift within 10 seconds

Just to add onto this, I believe E-Drifts count as well, I had originally started with 3 E-Drifts after picking up the car, and realized I might need to be doing normal drifts, but, it popped after only two normal drifts.

What care do I need to get this achievement?

I'm using the Hot Wheels Hot Wheels Mustang (not the Hot Wheels Ford Mustang) and even after multiple drifts, no achievement.

If I'm using the wrong car, how do I get the right car?

Finally found out how to do this.

I just didn't know what "Hot Wheels" Drift meant.

"Hot Wheels" Drift is just the "next level" category... hard to explain, but in the past it used to be like this:

Hold a drift for a little bit: you'd get a "GREAT" drift message on-screen
Hold a drift for a little bit longer: you'd get an "AWESOME" drift message on-screen
Hold a drift for even longer: you'd get an "ULTIMATE" drift message on-screen.

And "ULTIMATE" used to be the highest goal you could achieve with respect to drifting. But they added a new category called "Hot Wheels" drift.

So basically, to make a long story short, to get a "Hot Wheels" drift, you just need to initiate a drift and have it last a little longer than an ULTIMATE drift normally would.

And do that five times with the Hot Wheels Mustang.

*phew*

The stock tune for this car is really bad. I would recommend searching for a good tune, I personally used a tune called "drift king".

Using second gear is a great tip. I only got one using automatic but got the last four fairly quickly after switching.

The drifts start from drift, great, awesome, ultimate then Hot Wheels drift, plus they don’t have to be done in a drift zone. A good car to do this in is the Hot Wheels Mustang stock at S1 and a good place to do it at this halfpipe.

Rewinding does work in giving you another Hot Wheels drift skill.

To complete this achievement, you need to take a Hot Wheels Ford Mustang and perform the Hot Wheels: Drift technique on it (this technique always automatically drops after the Perfect Drift technique). Hot Wheels Drifting technique can only be performed on Hot Wheels Island.
