SINGLE PLAYER TIME CHALLENGES - 15 points
Win the Gold cup in ALL the Single Player TIME challenges.
Complete all the time challenges. This is probably the hardest out of the 3 types of challenges.
Bonus: Volkwagen W12 Coupe
Challenging Time Trails:
Millionaire's Club:
This time Trial takes approx. an hour. It isnt exactly hard, but it is long, and can get a little boring. I suggest an Enzo, Saleen or Mv Agusta.
Tantalus:
This is a 9.0 Mile, race down a mountain to the top of another. It's goal time is 7'30"00. This time isnt anything out of this world, but is a little challenging. Remember Fast Is Slow, Slow Is Fast. Take Your Time, and DONT crash, as the penalty will hurt your time a lot. You do start with a 200 bar, so crashing ten times, will disqualify you.
Maserati Day:
This is also another difficult time trail. You need a Maserati MC12 to beat it without serious problems. The preformance kit, helps but is not neccasary. Take your time, and dont hit cars, as it has a lot of speed part, and crashing will lower your imte by quite a lot.

SINGLE PLAYER RACE CHALLENGES - 20 points
Win the Gold cup in ALL the Single Player RACES challenges.
These arent very difficult with the right cars. You chouldnt have any problems with any of the races, if you have the car that matches the class, and preforms well. If you have trouble, than tune it, try not to if it's one of those one time cars.
Bonus: Crysler ME412
SINGLE PLAYER SPEED CHALLENGES - 10 points
Win the Gold cup in ALL the Single Player SPEED challenges.
These are all very easy, and none of them, should be difficult wiht the right car. Saleen's go the fastest and have good Acceleration but bad handling, while Enzo's are a little slower but handle better on turns. So pick the right car depending on the track.
Bonus: Ford Shelby Gr-1 Concpet
ISLAND TOUR - 30 points
Win the Gold cup in the "Island Tour" challenge.
This is a race that approx. takes 45 minutes, and is 118 Miles long. It's a race around the whole map. I dont suggest doing it, once you unlock it because there some tough competition. You could get matched up with a Koningsegg, Enzo, Saleen and a McLaren. So you want to have a good car/bike to race in. Preferably a MV Agusta C4 (Fully Tuned) or a Enzo or Saleen. It's not extremeley hard, but can get frustrating if rushed. Take it easy, it's not extremely difficult. Just sit down, grab a drink, and start going. Holding up while on the bike makes you go faster, up to 225 mph (20mph faster than the top speed)
Once you complete it, it will show a picture of you and your car/bike like after every race, with a gold medal. Once you see this screen the achievement will be given.
*You will also be given a bonus car, the "Alfa Romeo 8c Competezione"
MULTIPLAYER VIC. - LEVEL 1 - 10 points

See "MULTIPLAYER VIC. - LEVEL 3"
MULTIPLAYER VIC. - LEVEL 3 - 30 points
Take 30 victories in multiplayer races. Only RANKED MATCHES are counted.
There's really no way to speed these up, because they have to be ranked matches. You can have few friends try to join your match, but there is no guarantee they'll get into your race. Just keep racing and you'll get it eventually. You can also try doing Spped races at night since those are the least commonly used ones. You can check your progress in the Info bar in your house. All you need is 30.

Also very easy, complete any 15 "White" Missions on your map...
SUCCESSFUL MISSIONS - LEVEL 3 - 35 points
Successfully complete 40 missions (Top-Model, Hitchhiker, Vehicle Transport or Courier).
It get's a little harder once you get to this stage. You need to complete 40 missions. Theres 30 missions under each category, so only doing your favourite wont work. Try to spread it around, so you dont get stuck with the ones you dont like at the end.
SUCCESSFUL MISSIONS - LEVEL 4 - 60 points
Successfully complete ALL the missions (Top-Model, Hitchhiker, Vehicle Transport or Courier).
By this point, you've probably already gotten most of the achievements, and are almost completed the game. This is hard, especially a couple of the Hitchhikers and top-model ones. You must complete all 120, 30 from each different activity.
INSTANT CHALLENGE VICTORIES - 10 points
Take 5 victories in Instant Challenges.
An Instant Chellenge is when you drive up to an online player and Press "A", which flashes your lights, and asks the player if he would like to have an "Instant Challenge" which is basically a race. Win 5 of these and the award is yours. Revenge does count, If you win and the player asks for revenge and you beat them agian, it counts as 2. This can be done over and over, and they will still count.
SHARING CUSTOM CHALLENGES - 10 points
Share 3 custom challenges in the Drive-Ins.
See "Custom Challenge Victories"
CUSTOM CHALLENGE VICTORIES - 10 points
Take 2 victories in the custom challenges of the Drive-Ins.
Here you can get two achievments in one shot. You can get this along with "Sharing Custom Challenges" It takes 48 hours to complete but only nees a couple minutes of work.
Sharing 3 challenges is simple. Once you become the 2nd rank (30 minutes into the game) you should be able to go into "Editor Mode" VIA your Pause Menu. Go into there and select a start, a finish, and then test it, and save. Also make sure the "Entry Fee" is $1,000 and the amount the won is $0. Do this 3 times and you'll have 3 custom challenges. No achievement yet but your close. Now head over to any "Drive-In" and choose the option "Share Challenges" and pick one. You may only share one challenge at a time so this is the easy part... Wait... Dont forget to set it to One day, as the duration of the event. Come back after a day, and do the same thing again. Than come back to the game the day after that and once you log on you should get the "2 Victories" achievement. Again go to a "Drive-In' And share your 3rd and last challenge and you should get your achievement. The reason why you should get both is because nobody will challenge your time, therefore making you the winner.

*Money Making Tip: This is a pretty straight forward way of making a large amount of money in a small amount of time. First you must become a "Champion" Rank in the Game, by getting 450 GamerScore in the game. Once you gain the rank, you will unlock "Speed" Challenge Called "180mph in Heavy Traffic" It is located near the middle of the map. It is worth $70,000. Take a fast Car (Rent one, if you dont have one, once your done with the rental, you'll have enough for a nice car of your own.) Simply start the race, pass the start line, and turn around. Head in that (oppsoite from start) direction on the side lane of the road, and get to 180mph. Hit "A" , Than Rinse and Repeat. You should be able to get $140,000 in under a minute, including loading times.
