After literally 200 attempts (thanks for the tip about closing the app to avoid service on the car), I was able to get 8.1 completed. I had upgraded my car and tires, so I had all the stage 1 and most of stage 2 instant upgrades. I think the upgraded tires made it more difficult.

I will give credit to Midnite Dr, who posted his tips. I had High Steering and High Brake assists, traction control OFF (this part is key). On the first sharp right, stay on far left and cut into the right edge, as your car starts to face down track, turn to the right and left a little to fish tail and get a few skids. There is a wall to the right, so try to keep that in mind to control a little. If you are lucky, you can get 6-7 skids. When I did it, out of sheer luck, I got 11. Continue down the track, up the hill get some distance from the pack, to the first chicane. Go thru the first right, and as you turn left (and this is the key part to the control skid), at low speed and low gear, as your tires are more likely to skid out. So as you turn, left, as your start to face down track your tires will catch a bit and you will just start to accelerate, jerk the wheel into the turn, and you will get a skid. You can do this on the next turn as well. At this point, you should have about 10 skids. You could try doing the same turn/skid technique, but at that point, I had about 14. So I continued all the way down the course (building some distance and not skidding) to the very last hard chicane (I believe they call it the bus stop). As you turn right and back left, use the same fish tailing technique and you should get your last couple of skids as you accelerate out of the turn. This should give you 15. As other have said, if you don't have upgraded tires, you may be able to skid a little going down the track on straights.

And remember, '''if you DO mess up, DO NOT pause and retire and restart. CLOSE THE APP and RELOAD'''. You will be back to where you were before with your car pristine and with no service needed.

I still think EA and FM are a bunch of numb nuts for putting this particular challenge together. They could have made it 10 like in previous races and it would have been more fun to get done rather than a frustrating headache. Hope this helps.
