GRID Legends DLC Pack 4 Winter Bash Trophy Guide

This is a rough, harsh trophy to unlock, the main problem I found is there is no specific vehicle you need to use and the freedom that brought me got in my head and made it a lot harder than perhaps it should have been. In the end I found the Subaru BRZ Drift-Tuned the best car for the job as it’s powerful, agile and can drift on a dime so to speak. You might find it a lot easier to complete if you turn off both Traction and Stability controls which can be done by going: Main Menu> Options> Difficulty then turn both Traction Control and Stability Control to 0.

In order to set the event up with the correct settings go: Main Menu> Race Creator> Discipline: Drift> Class: Clubman Drift> Location: Okutama Sprint> Route: Drift Stage – Full Route. Just before you begin the event, go in to the Handling Menu (Square before beginning the event) and move the sliders in the Vehicle Tuning to the following:

• Gear Ratio: Two notches left.
• Springs. Two notches left.
• Dampers: Two notches left.
• Ant-Roll Bars: Two notches left.
• Brake Bias: One notch left.

Then begin the event and get ready for a tough, long, arduous challenge. The circuit is tough enough to get around in a circuit event, however, drifting round the 4.02 mile elevation changing, tight cornering, tunnel racing drifter’s nightmare that the Okutama Sprint is whilst achieving a score of 1,000,000+ is a really tall order. The key to getting this done is the multiplier you receive for chaining drifts together, now you will get a multiplier for every drift that has a break in between it rather than for a continuous drift so drift, race, drift, race all the way around the circuit which is so much easier said than done.

You need to make the orange circle that appears whenever you Drift your main priority as that is the multiplier as well as the drift meter. Keep that circle mostly full and you stand a much better chance of achieving the score. You can hold the handbrake or tap the brake when on a straight and angle car hard at speed to do a quick powerslide which will usually count as a drift, which won’t score you many points but it will keep that all important multiplier up.

If you touch the sides of the circuit, however, you will lose not only your multiplier but any un banked score as well meaning you have to be more and more careful and controlled the higher your multiplier score goes meaning you will have a much higher loss. That combined with the fact the developers seem to be unsure as to what constitutes an actual drift means this is the worse combination in video games: skill and luck. Sometimes you will drift perfectly with minimal effort, other times you will do the exact same thing and it won’t count so be patient with this one, it will take many attempts then eventually everything will click and work where you will achieve a score of a million plus earning your trophy in the process.
