I find drifting gets a little easier with a car almost fully powered up on the top speed and acceleration ratings. The higher your CC the easier it is to drift but also the easier it is to drive into a wall. If your handling rating on the cart is a little lower you'll also find it easier to drift because it's not as "stuck" to the road.

I found the easiest way to practice it is when you enter a straight section. From the center of the track turn your car slightly left or right until the back is a little bit off to the side and you can see the cart profile, but not so much that you drive straight into a wall. As soon as you see that, turn the car in the opposite direction hard and the back will swing over. If you've done it right the drift counter should go up one. Once you start this you can switch left and right to snake your way all the way down the straightaway and get multiple drifts.

You can also drift into corners with some practice but when you do always try to straighten out a bit and hit it again to get another drift on the counter.

I seemed to have the most trouble with the challenges telling me to collect fewer than 5 coins or only hit one boost pad.
