READ: I will explain few aspects of this "Market Drift" event below to show why this route is best for most public lobbies of noobs:
1. Speed
This route is actually no faster than normal circles round the pyramid in terms of ultimate speed. Even if you do better than my horrible attempt here you would still get around same score as with circles HOWEVER ... in lobbies you're often being slowed down by players around the circle + need brakes a lot to avoid getting killed. For ellipse route your chance of being f**ked is reduced by more than half (see below). Most lobbies you would be getting more score with this rather than typical circles. I almost never once managed 4000yards round the pyramid in public crowds.

2. Safety
Assuming you've mastered this drift, the chance of getting hit is lowered by half compare to circles as your distance round the circle is lessened by half. Also due to the V-shape route you are forced to go around the 180deg U-turn, and your high speed around the left and right side of the "V" ditch (this is also the reason I used nitrous right after the pyramid V-ditch), you'll benefit from a much higher chance of taking down others / not getting wrecked, while your kinda forced low speed at the "ditch" point actually allows more time/room to adjust your drift for dodging players.

3. Possible Route Changing Mid-Way
Even if u encounter dire situations in pyramid area, you can always switched to circle route then back to ellipse, or even drift through the grass / tunnel underneath the mini tower.

This drift is realistically possible with only Agera and Venom on non-Lightweight Chassis, however while your speed is a tiny bit higher with Venom you lose so much mid-drifting adjustability that even one blockage can easily screw you up. Using Venom would defy the purpose of using this drift in public.

Mods:
Drift Tires (not Pro, that's why no color smoke, no performance difference anyway)
Powershot Nitrous Pro
Ram Chassis Pro
Aero Body Pro (Makes adjusting drift easier)
Short Gears Pro

This horrible attempt should be improvable by ~200yards but again I can't be bothered with a game I stopped playing. Just want showcase the concept

P.S. Thanks VvX-Glitch/Glitch-o7. Because you refused to share it in video EVEN when you are the inventor of this drift AND know how to record videos, you wasted me 40 somethin' attempts of practise time to master such sub-par performance on keyboard EVEN when you have a controller which is way more suited for this drift.
