Do some time trials racing your own ghost. Get the best time you can, then try to keep up while drifting. It's very doubtful. Anytime I lose traction, even for a split second, my ghost car gets way ahead. Not so sure about this for cars with bad brakes as drifting seems to shed speed more efficiently than the brakes on those cars, so it might work in slow turns at the end of long straights. Kinda like how in RR3-land you can often slow down more quickly on the grass than you can on the pavement.
