  The achievement description is misleading. On initial reading, it seems like you need to stay within the trails coming off of the car for 30 seconds in a row, without being knocked out by other racers.
  
  This is wrong. The seconds accumulate throughout the match, so if you stay in the trails for 10 seconds, get knocked out - or come away from one of the trails - and then go back and get 20 seconds in both trails, the achievement will unlock.
  
  Just stay as close to the car as possible and try to get in line on the straights.

  I got lucky and saw a fire truck in one of my races, so I took a chance and jumped into it. The thing was immovable to everyone else and I was able to sit right behind the the trail car withour anyone else troubling me. If you can get into a fire truck early I reckon you'd have a pretty good chance of getting this. Don't worry about the speed. The trail car is slow, so even if you're a bit behind, you'll catch up reasonably quickly.

  I tried boosting this a while back and didn't get it; ended up snagging it last night with a friend.
  
  If you can't get a big truck, the Lamborghini Diablo can run right up on the rear and pretty much get stuck on the back of the Delorean, scooping up both trails.

  Negative for not stating the minimum number of players required to begin a match.

  Good advise without cheating also a plus on my side having a friend let you win is stupid

  One way to make this difficult achievement a bit easier is to use the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. Not sure how well this works with other cars. Try to come in first in qualifying so you will have the lead, and will immediately have the ability to switch to this car with the X button, as you will have set it to Vehicle 1 for this challenge. The method is to align yourself directly and evenly behind the pace car, bumper to bumper, and hold the accelerator fully in. It may take a few tries to get perfectly aligned. Once flush with the pace car, gas pushed in, you will for the most part be dragged whichever way he swerves, with little to no input from the stick. You will likely only be thrown off on sharp turns, and even then it is fairly quick to latch back on given the far greater speed of your car. It does seem relatively difficult for your opponents to dislodge you as well once engaged. This method worked for me first try, after much frustration in attempting to get this. I do hope this is of some help to someone else.

  This worked for me on the second try with one other guy in the match.

  Firstly, this is 30 cumulative seconds within a round, not consecutive.
  
  Now, I found this achievement quite tricky in a crowded lobby. If you have 3 or more people in the game, your going to struggle as you will have so many people knocking you off course.
  
  I think I won around 15 games or so before getting to 100. Being just in one trail will cause your score to increase, but obviously reduce time left in the round towards the achievement.
  
  There are two "main ways" to obtain the achievement :
  
  a) be lucky and get into a lobby with only 2 players, then just try your best to win.
  
  b) I won this achievement in a full lobby of 6 players (which I could scarecely believe). The tactic was this : Don't attempt it until around level 22-24. Most people in this lobby are level 1-8, with no ability upgrades or weapons.
  
  By level 24 I had unlocked the Lambo Murceliago. It has full speed and nearly full strength. My tactic was to use spawn (level 14 required) and spawn behind the trail car. I then sat behind the car in the lambo. Now, the lambo is that strong that none of the other 5 players could knock me out of the way. Trust me, if your struggling with this, wait for this car. It's super fast, and if you do get knocked off it will overtake anything in front of you.
  
  It's the best way I can recomend, as I was trying from level 10 onwards and despite winning lots of games, I didnt come close to the 30 seconds. Wait for the lambo, its nearly unmoveable. Once you get behind, its then very hard for anyone to knock you off (and most players in this lobby wont have impulse yet).

  Yeah, I wasn't slagging yours off, it clarified a point that needed clarifying. I was just trying to help others get the achievment. of course its possible at any level, I was just giving tips for those struggling.

  this achievement is very easy, use a steady larger car like a Charger and just "stick" to the back of the trail car, somehow you get stuck a little when you ram into it and its hard for the others to ram you off.
