Mouse dicked around with it last night as I was heading out the door for work and as josh said it's the northern most end of the track where the glitch used to be. It's a three sector run, one light left hand sweeper one right hander hair pin and a medium right hand sweeper, I think they where. Pretty shitty scoring zones IMHO but I have not tried them my self yet.

Ok, I've dicked with it now...SS7 drift is fucked up but doable. First sector is crap, second is messed up and picky but gold can be achieved in the final sector alone.

Ugh, sounds like it's going to be as annoying as that Tokyo R246 one we had a few times back.

I would say so, and everybody got one of these free, I think.

A stock 86 on C-h tires is good enough for golding three of these.  For the 600pp one I used an RS6 because it was the first car at or under 600pp in my Premium garage.

Quick 4 mil was quick.

With both a time and drift trial using that Toyota and given the fact it was a free gift a bit ago, my first cynical instinct is that it's a bit of product placement / advertising for Toyota.  Not that I really mind if that's the case since it we got a free car out of it :).

Any adjustments you'd like to share? I just added every bolt on and raised my height.  :-\

and, what's with the other drift evnets drift sections, especially the sharp corner, it almost always goes to zero for going sideways. The most I have gotten there is around 750.  ???

I've gotten 1300 in that sector several times. It just takes a slow, long and not so sideways drift there.

A very close transmission, the cars best torque is in the upper RPM range.

Haven't tried the SSR7 one yet but for Madrid in the Toyota 86GT the transmission settings were key for me, I set the transmission at about 170 or so I think then shortened 1st, 2nd and 3rd so that 3rd was about 50-75mph (took a few runs to get it to where I was happy).  I then used 3rd gear for all sectors except that second one (the long left hand one) which I took in 4th.
