Much like in the base game, the Formula Drift cars are key here. For me, I did all 5 drift zones with the same car -- #13 Ford Mustang 2015 Formula Drift. I believe the Formula Drift pack is available to Game Pass users as well (it was for me).

With this car I did all 5 drift zones on my first attempt (whereas with other cars I wasn't even coming close to 3-starring any of them).

The Five drift zones and their score requirements:

Southland 45,000 points
Merrow's Perch - 50,000 points
The Sleeping Giant - 60,000 points
Skildar Slopes - 70,000 points
Needle Climb - 200,000 points

Don't let the point totals mislead you -- I found Needle Climb actually quite easy, for me the one that I came closest to not 3-starring was The Sleeping Giant (req: 60K, I scored 63K, whereas Needle Climb was 200K req, but I scored 233K).

Aside from these tips all the tips around drifting from this solution might be of help: Solution for "Do you know what 'DK' stands for?" In Forza Horizon 4

i nailed without any problem Southland, Merrow's Perch, Skildar Slopes with the the Exomotive Exocet (maxed up) after i got the Halcyon Point Trailblazer Gate Achievement.

Pretty easy....

The real struggle is the Sleeping giant thought...... (no more than 54 - 57K ish with the same car going uphill as well!)
The road is not so large and is very easy to go out and get 0 points while drifting)
I'll keep you updated for the Needle Climb if the Exomotive Exocet works well , it looks a pretty good drifting car.

i also want to try the same car for the "Do you know what 'DK' stands for?" Achievement.

The drift pack isn't included in game pass but I'm not about to spend $6 for a handful of cars I'm not about to use anyways. Good solution just not for me though.

Interesting, as it previously was available. There was a time previously when it got (accidentally) removed and they fixed that, so maybe the bug has recurred?

I also found the Kia singer to work pretty good aswell for these .

The formula drift cars are definitely available as part of gamepass.

By FiveWizz on 12 Mar 2020 13:06

It’s not part of gamepass, stop to spread false informations.

By Dobermann X on 13 Sep 2020 18:25

Yes they are. I never bought the game. I have all the cars. Stop spreading false information.

By FiveWizz on 14 Sep 2020 00:00

It’s available in “manage game” but if you don’t install it from there you don’t get it ingame. It’s why me and other people where unable to use it. Just spread complete informations.

By Dobermann X on 14 Sep 2020 13:07

I can't take responsibility for if you choose to install them or not. They're available to download via gamepass. It seems you have figured that out so what's the problem? They're available via game pass so I spread absolutely no false information. You should apologise if anything.

Thanks so much for the car suggestion! Didn't even need to tweak settings. Just used a random tuning and very easily aced all of the drift zones!

I used to suck at drifting. Total newb. The #43 Doge Viper SRT10 (2006 Formula Drift) changed that. It basically just wiggles around the entire time and you are always drifting. Hope this helps someone!

This is by far the best tip by ChooseMyFate. I've always struggled with drifting in FH4, but managed 3 stars the first time on all these Drift Zones.

By RidleyDeckard on 17 Apr 2022 20:46

@RidleyDeckard Glad I could help!

I must be literally the worst person alive at driving games because even with the formula drift cars I can't even 2 star Needle. I give up.

By Chucklestyle on 17 Oct 2021 03:44

I highly recommend the BMW Isetta with a drift tune setup. The shorter wheelbase and strong acceleration really help get and stay sideways along the tracks. It does take practice, though, to throttle the gas and steering to maintain longer drifts along the paths.

I have the game from disc + i'm a gamepass ultimate user. As someone previously said when he tried to get the cars fro the drift pack it was not possible, because it's mentionned nowhere that it's included in game pass. You need to manually download that shit. I don't know why, maybe because we got the game installed from the disc and not from gamepass, but when the game ask you to buy the pack when you can get it for free if you go in the manage settings, it's clearly an issue with how the game manages its content. So other people on the same case will think the same. No it's not included, but in fact yes it is, but you have to go further than the game menu to get it. So this information is needed to complete the guide. But honestly, without this pack it was all doable.
