    In order to get the brakes up to 1000oC you will need something fast and with good brakes, which is why the Formula A is perfect for this.

    From the main menu choose 'Solo' and then setup a race with a track with a long straight like Road America or Nurburgring and choosing the Formula A car.

    Then once the race begins race until you reach the long straight and try to get up to full speed in 7th gear, then once there hold both cn_LT AND cn_RT to make sure that the car carries on speeding a bit whilst braking to really heat the brakes up. The achievement should pop just as you stop.

    EthigyGreat solution. My car never fully stopped (slowed from 7th gear to 1st, then just went back and forth between 1st and 2nd), but just continue holding LT and RT and it will pop.

    DaDuelingDonutsIf like to add I could not get it making out my speed, but rather it popped up while I held in lt and rt in 1st gear. Could this be another solution?

    HolyHalfDeadRiding your brakes also heats them up. Apply gentle LT and drive round the circuit as normal.

    Short guide w/ vid: in Solo, choose Road America, pick Formula A car, on the straightaway reach 195+ MPH and hit brakes hard, hold accelerator all the way down as well, as you take turn achievement will pop.

    Pro Tip: unless you're very skilled, I suggest having Traction Control ON, otherwise you won't be able to control such a powerful car.
