Step 1: Single Player World Series Racing
The World Series Racing Career is split into five seasons. As you progress further up the seasons you will be introduced to higher tier cars and new event types. Ultimately you need to win every event in the WSR to unlock You rOCDed. You do not need to take part in the test drives or enter in the vehicle challenges for this achievement, although the vehicle challenges will give a variety in the cars you drive. By earning the You rOCDed achievement, you will have unlocked every secret achievement in the game which are all related through progression of the WSR, this is a total of 12 achievements for 325.
You will unlock Could It Be Magic? between seasons 3-4 assuming you place first in the majority of the events you play until that point. You will also unlock the two achievements; Mo Money, No Problems & Sellout for 45 for completing a total of 20 career sponsor objectives. This will unlock between seasons 3-5 depending on how many you're completing per season. It is a good idea to pick the easier ones to guarantee completion of all of them. You will come across around 30 sponsor objectives in total so this shouldn't be a problem.
Step 2: World Series Racing Clean-up (Timeline)
During this step you'll want to revisit any races that you decided to skip and/or didn't get first place in, using the TimeLine.
Note: If you are replaying a promotional event through the Timeline which you didn't previously win, once you have won the event it will still not be marked with a green tick, but the win will still count towards the achievement.
Step 3: Online Multiplayer
You'll want to start off by completing a global challenge which will unlock One for the Team. When the global challenge timer ends, and you were #1 on your personal weekly leaderboard you will unlock Global Domination. Lastly, you'll need to join one of your rivals which consist of gamers added on racenet and/or people on your friend's list. After joining their session, you must beat them to unlock Keep Your Friends Close....
Now that we took care of the global challenge related achievement, we'll want to focus on doing some online races. Join a racing online playlist, and keep racing until you've taken part in 5 races in a row and also won at least 1 event in order to unlock Social Butterfly and Natural Ability. After earning at least $10,000 in the online mode, you'll want to upgrade your Alfa Romeo in your garage until you bump it into Tier 2 to unlock A Different Class. Make sure to take at least one upgrade off, so that it bounces back down to Tier 1. Now, you'll want to go online again, and I recommend a racing online playlist again, and wait until you get a Tier 1 event. Make sure you race in your upgraded car, and if you win the race, you will get Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.
Then make sure you play at least 1 endurance race online, which should range between 5-15 minutes to unlock All Night Long. And after that play online in your favourite mode until you reach at least level 10 to unlock Dipping Your Toes.
The online portion of this game should take most players between 6-10 hours, and will net them 9 Achievements worth 180.
Step 4: Miscellaneous Mop-up (Custom Events)
After completing all the above steps, there's a good chance that you'll have a few remaining miscellaneous achievements that you may want to work on. These include the drifting achievements, and other achievements that are easily attained in custom events. If you are struggling, check the solution for each individual achievement for more details.
DLC: Spa-Francorchamps Track Pack
Step 1: Online
Go to Grid Online and participate to an Endurance Race in Spa, you don't even have to win this, just complete the race and you'll unlock Staying the Distance.
Step 2: Offline
Go to WSR and play 3 different custom events:
- The first one is a 2 lap race where you have to beat 1:49 to unlock Spa Time.
- The second one is a 1 lap race where you have to reach 260mph (418Km/h) to unlock Rouge Racer.
- The final one is a drift event where you have to score 300K+ in a single drift event to unlock Super Drift.
Conclusion:
This DLC is really easy, you should complete it in no time. 10 bucks is quite expensive (only 4 tracks and 2 new cars) but it will give you a good excuse to jump back into that game!
DLC: Bathurst Track Pack
Step 1: Online
Go to Grid Online and win a Checkpoint Event in Bathurst to unlock Time Extended.
Step 2: Offline
Go to WSR and play 3 different custom events:
- The first one is a 2 lap race in Bathurst where you have to beat 1:39 to unlock Aussie Rules.
- The second one is a 1 lap race in Bathurst where you have to reach 220mph (354Km/h) to unlock Outback & Gone.
- The final one is a Time attack event in Bathurst where you have just to complete the event to unlock Bush-bash.
Conclusion:
This second DLC is as easy as the first one, you should complete it in about 45 minutes or so. Once again, you'll have to spent 10 bucks for this extension which is quite a bit expensive considering it only offers you 2 tracks and 3 new cars.
DLC: Classic Grid Pack
Step 1:
Go to WSR and play 2 different custom events:
- The first one is an elimination race where you have to win in a Pagani Zonda Revolución to unlock An Old Favourite.
- The second one is a drift event where you have to win in a Koenigsegg CCGT to unlock Turn Back Time.
Conclusion:
This is the third and probably the last DLC for this game. It includes 4 new cars: Koenigsegg CCGT, Pontiac Firebird Mk1, Plymouth Cuda and Pagani Zonda R. This DLC is very short and can be quickly completed in about 15 minutes.
