Now pick the Chevrolet Camaro Z28 and anyone should have this achievement by the second hairpin, this is what i used and this is what i got first attempt: 266,260, and i am stone crap at drifting in this game ha.
I found this way easier than using the RX-7 or Skyline that's for the other drifting achievement.
Hope this helps.
Without Multiplier bonus, is nearly impossible to get this achievement. It may need a lot of attempt or using flashback feature to get this.
My solution is the same of my solution in Tokyo drift.
Make sure You use a Drift car to do this since other (Balanced / Grip) is quite hard to do this.
Torll Rush, Okutama is quite a good track attempt this achievement but you can decide any track you like.
Before you get into a corner, try to speed up as much as you can so you can perform a better Drift.
Tips by Chelsea Ink: Turn in corner at full speed and get as close to the inside wall as you can on the first right hander in then the car just whips out, you may need to release the throttle a little to stop yourself spinning.
Multiplier Bonus:
In most of the corner of Drift Event, you will see this Red-white color Pole. If you stay close of it when you drift, you will get a x2 multiplier, if you are very close(nearly touch), you will get a x3 multiplier.
x2 Multiplier bonus - stay close to the pole when drift
x3 Multiplier bonus - stay very close to the pole when drift
If the corner similar to semicircle like in the video, it like you are drifting 2 corners at the same time. If you perform a good drift, you should no problem get a x4 or x5 or even better, x6 multiplier bonus.
These action will make you lost all the Points you can earn in that corner:
- Collision, Crash the Pole, wall or your Opponent
- Spin
- Off-track
So when you get many points and have a good bonus but crash, off the track or spin, use the flashbacks feature and try again, always a welcome choice.
(For Custom Event, go to Advanced Options and make flashbacks to unlimited so you don't need to worry only have 5 flashbacks in the event.)
Since I got the achievement before I make this video so you won't see the achievement pop up, but you can get some tips from it. (I got this before using a tier 4 car in Red Bull Ring Track using Flashback feature when going wrong and get this one after that.)
Happy hunting!

Easily the best set-up i found to do this challenge on, if you find another set-up or want to add anything please do comment in the section below and i'll add it to the main feed with your name for the contributions! Thanks
Track: Okutama, Kenshi Way
In order to do this you MUST get a x5 multiplier on the corner shown in the video. To do this you must drift very close to the first pole and carry the drift past the 2nd pole. How i did it was to use the Nissan GT because of its speed and drifting abilities. As I approached the corner I tapped the handbrake and this allowed me to have more speed through the drift. You must keep the car above 50mph through the drift or it'll just spin out or stop completely.
If you put unlimited flashbacks on you can keep trying to do it for as long as you want. You don't have to use the Nissan GT, this is just an example. The NSX or any tier 3 drift car works well too.
Many people have been able to do this with Tier Two drift cars like the Mazda RX-7 Type RZ, but it can be a little difficult to do that. I personally recommend using a Tier Three drift car like the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 or the Viper, which worked a lot better for me.
Set-up a custom drift event on Okutama - Tenshi Way, with unlimited flashbacks and the Tier Three car of your choice. You want to aim for this achievement during the second or third hairpin turn. Go in with a very high speed, and get as close as possible to the first pylon hopefully getting a x3 multiplier. Because of the speed and the power of the car, you should be able to make it through the turn without breaking the drift adding an additional x2 multiplier. If you spin out or collide with something during the middle of the turn, make sure to use your flashbacks until you get it right. Just keep practicing and this should be the easiest method to get this achievement.
Depending on your multiplier, you will need at least this many points:
62,500 x 4 = 250,000
50,000 x 5 = 250,000
41,667 x 6 = 250,000
