  Ok guys, get ready for the ratio to drop on this one. I will show you how to get the expert achievement by winning ONE race on EASY, then skipping the rest of the season. It should take around 2 hours from start to finish.
  
  *** The one catch with this is you either need a friend with a copy on hand or 2 copies, consoles & gold accounts yourself to send the invites (I did it with 2 consoles) ***
  
  After searching for additional info on the expert 'assist' exploit i came across a different method on the ps3 trophy forum called the 'expired invite' method (credit to matlock49g over there).
  
  Here is a brief description of matlock49g's expired invite method, skip to the numbered points below for my improved method.
  
  +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
  Basically it is called the 'expired invite glitch/exploit' where once you finish the race click 'A' twice and DON'T go past the constructors championship page, this locks in your points eg 25 for the win, press the PS button and select one of the expired multiplayer invites. It will then try to connect but dump you back in the paddock as there is no match to join. You can then go do the exact same race again that you just raced but this time crash out/get disqualified. If you then press 'A' once and you will see that your points along with the points of the AI have added again from the previous result even though you crashed out. Go to the constructors championship screen and hit the PS button, select an expired invite etc etc. Then simply rinse and repeat by starting the race again and crash out as many times as you want/need to guarantee the World Drivers Championship. Then continue with the career crashing out until the end and the season.
  
  The problem is that you have to find race where you can qualify and win agains the legendary AI with no flashbacks etc. So even using the exploit where you turn on the assists during the race it can still be somewhat difficult and you can make the mistake of not turning the assists back off.
  +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
  
  I have modified the method & came up with an even EASIER way than this & the beauty of it is you can even do it in the starting cars (HRT/Lotus/Virgin) in your first season because you will be winning ONE race on the EASY setting.
  
  1) Turn OFF autosave
  2) Start career
  3) Select expert difficulty
  
  I still recommend crashing until you get to your best track eg Montreal, so,
  
  4) Skip to race day & crash out until your preferred race
  
  You have the option to try qualify but if in the starting cars you won't be able to on expert. (I was in a ferrari so I qualified on pole)
  
  NOW IS THE INTERESTING PART
  
  5) Go back to the paddock and SAVE, keeping autosave off
  6) Select EASY difficulty
  7) Go to the race and win while taking out the main rivals if you can
  
  ***Edit: There is a possible issue that if you turn off the braking assist (or anything else) resulting in the difficulty switching to custom it will invalidate the achievement, so to be safe make sure you enter the assist menu BEFORE crossing the finish line and switch back to easy. Credit to Morbsta & AHs Chaozz in the comments for the info.***
  
  NOW BE CAREFUL
  
  8) After the race click 'A' TWICE & stop at the constructors screen
  9) Either have a friend send you an invite to a quick match or use the second copy/console/account
  10) Press the guide button and accept the invite
  11) As soon as you accept, have your friend leave the lobby mening there is no lobby to join. This will then put you back in the paddock with a message saying 'connection lost'
  12) Go back to your career race and select EXPERT
  13) This will put you back to the previous race on RACE DAY
  14) Crash straight away
  15) Press 'A' twice to the constructors page and accept a new invite
  16) Again have your friend leave straight away putting you back in the paddock
  17) Rinse and repeat until you have enough points to guarantee the championship. REMEMBER THE ACHIEVEMENT DOESN'T POP UNTIL AFTER THE VERY LAST RACE
  
  And there you go, the proud owner of the Expert World Championship achievement
  
  The way this works is it is registering every race on expert not counting the one on easy because we went back and did the race again on expert, I got the achievement today using this method so it 100% works.
  
  If you have any questions/problems post a comment and I will clarify as best I can.

  Worked first try and I was quite nervous. 1100 points to win by a landslide. This does not take 2 hours by any stretch of the imagination… at least twice that time

  2023 and still working, but without the save part.

  "I can confirm this does work, I have been trying this since the weekend and unlocked the expert achievement this morning.
  
  The way I was doing it was as follows:
  Start the race weekend with the difficulty set to Expert (obviously)!
  Now once I was in a session (Practice, Qualifying & Race) I would go to the track and once I was in control of the car I would pause the game and turn on the assists I wanted. Then before returning to the pits or finishing the race I would turn all the assists off again so it said Expert again at the top. Also if I needed to restart the session/race I would turn the assists off before doing so and then on again after restarting.
  I don't know if you need to turn the assists off when restarting but I didn't want to risk it.
  This way when you return to the paddock after the race it still says Expert on the difficulty when starting the next race.
  Doing this I won the Championship after Singapore, crashed out of the rest of the races and the achievement unlocked on the Championship Standings screen after the last race.
  
  Hope this helps."

  +1 to ivegotalobon 's solution.
  
  This is a clean-up of his solution, using my own experience.
  I was myself confused when I read his solution and the comments.
  
  - The "expired invite" exploit works a treat, is SUPER easy,
  but requires 2 boxes and 2 gold accounts.
  
  - Autosave ON or OFF:
  It works with Autosave off, but it means you do the whole season in one sitting.
  
  - The EASY race is very important:
  It will set all the points you will make in the season,
  if you chose to only actually race the one track you prefer.
  It is better if you try and push the drivers of the top teams in walls,
  to make them loose time and score less points during that one race.
  It would save you time, BUT this is not NECESSARY.
  
  So the process is:
  
  1 - Set Autosave OFF
  2 - Start season on EXPERT
  3 - Race or crash the tracks until you get to your chosen track
  - if you race, make sure the settings are on EXPERT when you pass the finish line
  - if you crash, make sure the setting are on EXPERT when you do
  ((make sure to change the assists settings until the first line says "EXPERT"))
  
  ON YOUR CHOSEN TRACK
  
  4 - Start the weekend on EASY
  5 - Qualify or not (no bearing)
  6 - Race, win, and if possible take out the main rivals
  (taking out rivals would only help you get to the end quicker)
  
  NOTE:
  I personally forgot to reset the braking assist prior to finishing the EASY race,
  it did NOT stop me from getting the achievement at my first try.
  (only observation from my own experience run)
  
  LOOP LOOP (don't worry, just read on)
  
  7 - At the end, do not get finger jittery, and stop AT the CONSTRUCTORS screen
  
  8 - use the "Expired Invite" glitch
  - receive an invite (from other box other account)
  - accept the invite and have the second account quit the lobby straight after
  (pretty much at the same time)
  (I was pressing the accept on my main,
  then pressing yes to quit on the other box,
  so a portion of a second gap was working for me.)
  - Accept the comment of "Connection Failure", Exit the Multiplayer mode.
  9 - Back to Career
  
  10 - Start same weekend again, on EXPERT
  (you will have to change the setting the first time,
  then it should be set by default for the next ones)
  This will take you straight to RACE day now.
  11 - Crash or get Disqualified
  (I used both with no problem)
  12 - If you crash, accept the crash with "Y", then Retire.
  13 - NO finger jitters !!
  
  THIS IS WHERE YOU USE THE LOOP. (back to number 7)
  YOU DO THE LOOP OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL YOU HAVE ENOUGH POINTS.
  
  Once you have enough points:
  (25 * number of tracks left) +1 more than the second in the leader-board at least.
  
  14 - Keep Racing or Crashing for the rest of the season.
  15 - The achievement will POP once you get out of the last race weekend.
  
  16 - SAVE
