Whilst everyone else is schmoozing around in Forza 5, I'm still puttering along in Forza 4. Since nobody was online last night, I decided to try and accomplish a goal that I've had for a while:

Do a single long, continuous drift combo up the entirety of the Fujimi Kaido hairpin stairway.

Now, most of you have probably already done this and think it's easy. But me? While I consider myself a pretty decent drifter in the game and have drifter every hairpin plenty of times, stringing it together as one combo has always eluded me. Either I lose the power and interrupt the slide (especially on the second straightaway) or a wind up going wide and making contact.

But finally, after many restarts, I finally got it. It took quite a bit of experimenting with the straight-line transition on the second straightaway, but I finally figured out I need to time the final transition overly late in order to maintain the traction loss and just do a snap transition at the end.

Overall, not a massively impressive achievement, but it IS one I've been messing with for a while now. Since Fujimi Kaido is not included in Forza 5 (this makes me SERIOUSLY sad), I decided that late is better than never and to do it on Forza 4 before I give in and blow a paycheck on an Xbox One in a couple months.

Niice... Watching a PT Cruiser do it is hilarious. Can you convert cars to RWD on Forza, or that's some handbrake magic to keep the rear wheels sliding?

Nope, you can convert it to RWD.

Also, if you think that's funny, you should see the full-length farewell Forza 4 video I made, haha:
