    Credit goes to II SkyLander II for discovering and confirming this solution.
    The fastest way to get this achievement is to win 200 rivals that pay 5000 each and here is how.
    Get a rival on a circuit race, who pays 5000 and whose time you can beat on the first lap, then after finishing the lap faster than him the game will ask if you want to finish, press cn_A ONCE, then at the stats screen press cn_X to restart and confirm it with cn_A, and the trick is you will be doing the same race again and earning the money again! You can see that you earned the reward in top right corner before you start the race again.
    You can keep doing this for as long as you feel like, BUT ONCE YOU CONTINUE, you will have to deal with THE BEST TIME you posted!!!
    Any bonuses are useless, even the 10% more money from rivals perk because only money that goes towards the achievement is the bounty money, so I race using all assists, except braking and steering assists.
    Festival Circuit in Casteletto is a very good spot to do this in Sports Car, Classic Performance or Street Rival, because these are starting classes and you can easily find easy rival with 5000 reward. I do it with Skyline GT-R V-SPEC (R34) fully upgraded to S2.
    Best cars in my oppinion- Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 (Sports Car), Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 (Street Rival) and Ferrari Dino (Classic Performance), all must be fully upgraded to S2.
    With this solution you can get this achievement in 4 or 5 hours.
    You can check your progress in statistics, scroll down General stats and see Money made from rivals.
    Achievement unlocks while in rivals, you dont have to quit racing for it to unlock.

    StNate“Servers are unavailable” and they’re planning on shutting down the servers permanently at the end of August 2023. There’s no way to get this offline, sorry fellas :(

    Ok. What you whant to do is to buy the GT-R spec II R34 and upgrade it to its max witch is around S1 980.

    Then go to rivals amateur class and select Casteletto. (Or the other locations if you wish). Select a Circuit race.
    Go to the Sports Car class and select it. On the right side u will se a reward based on your previous time posted on that particular race with this class. If it's not 5000cr then hit cn_RT and u should see your friends leaderboard. Hit cn_X until you are on the Near me leaderboard. Go up the list until when you select a better time than yours the game will say that the reward will be 5000 cr.
    That person is the one that you wanna beat !

    Start the race and when your about to accelerate STOP and disconect your console from the internet.

    Win the race and when the game will say Congratulations you will hit cn_A for Finish and then hit cn_X to Restart the race. Rise and repeat.

    You have to disconnect from the xbox live otherwise even that u hit restart every time the leaderbord will know your best time did in that session. And the next time you will attempt to do another session of this wou will have a greater time to beat. Dissconecting from xbox live will keep your current time from when u started first.
    Just select the same person from the leaderboards everytime u start boosting this.

    Be aware that you do need to be connected to xbox live when u will try to acces the rivals menu until you are already in the race.

    FullNietzscheYou don't need to disconnect from the internet, it works if you're still online too.

    So basically what you are want to do is to improve your time in the Rivals Mode as slowly as possible. But first improve your time so that you get at least 2000 or 3000 CR. 1000 CR or lower is a waste of time.
    Then when you get 3000 CR improve your time as slowly as possible.
    I was always waiting at the finish line for the ghost to catch up and then rolled into the finish just before them.
    Also don't forget to turn on Rewinds so you can rewind back if you make a mistake.
    Depending on your skills in racing games and how often you can improve your time as slowly as possible when you get 5000 CR, this achievement will take for some of you more time to get than for experienced players.

    Thanks for the Video from pikblonds. It is from the Xbox One Version but he is doing the same as i wrote here.
    So if you prefer video guides over text guides, here is the video:

    BadTriangleYou don't have to improve your time to get better rivals. If you go to a race and select rivals mode, you can choose who your rival is. I've been setting a low initial time in a C-class Acura, then switching to my S2 R34 Skyline and choosing my own rival each time. On the Festival circuit each manually selected rival is only about .001 seconds or so better so you can get a lot rivals in without improving your time very much.

    neilbanAssuming you are going for the full 100% there are 480 events to complete so if you on average gain 2100cr per event you will get to 1 million. So even a poor racer should be able to achieve this over time.
