Go to rivals and press Y to see the leaderboards on a track you like (Ovals like Daytona or Indianapolis are good for this).
In the leaderboards scroll down to the bottom and choose the last one as your rival.
Before you start the race, go to your settings. ABS off, no rewinds, manual with clutch etc. (you can leave the steering at normal, if you don't like sim steering).
Beware: Do not have a mod loaded when entering a race!
The clutch is LB (at least with my settings).
When the race starts, accellerate and press LB and B (shift up).
Off you go, Remember to press LB everytime you want to shift (otherwise you will get damage).
Let's say, your rival drove a 2:30 (dirty lap, the ! indicates that). You should easily get a better time. Try driving a 2:27 or so (dirty! - hit a wall softly, if you have to).
You beat your rival and the next rival with a 2:25 (just an example) is set. So drive another lap, this time a 2:22.
If you can't drive any faster, drive a clean lap (without an ! in front of your time) and beat the rival with the dirty lap.
Repeat on another track (maybe the second oval track?).
I did that and got 5 needed wins with 5 laps on one oval track. |

If you have played normally until now, most of the tracks probably have a "good" time set for you, or at least, one you might have trouble beating.
Here is the fastest method to get the easiest possible rivals.
Go to the rivals menu, then find a track/class combination you haven't done before. Check the bottom line on the right side of the screen, below the "rival recommandation" time : if it's empty, you haven't raced this yet.
I'd recommend a slower class, as the cars are much easier to handle : remember you won't have TCS, ABS... Low-power cars, FWD and AWD cars are much easier to drive without TCS, too.
Short tracks are better : having to do a long lap when you've missed the time by a few milliseconds is annoying. The shortest track is Long Beach West (0.72km), but the Top Gear variants and Catalunya School are pretty short, too.

The first step is to get as low in the rankings as possible, to help you pick a slow rival in the next races. Scrolling to the "dirty" tracks from the top is incredibly long.
Start the race with a random rival, we don't care about it for now.
After the start of the race, cross the start line (otherwise the lap time recording won't start), stop the car, wait for a while, a few seconds, or even a few minutes. Make yourself a sandwich. Go get your mail. Walk the dog.
Once you're bored, run the track in first gear, slowly.
Make sure you (gently) hit a wall or go in the grass, to make your lap "dirty".
Once your lap is complete, finish the race to save the time, and go back to the rivals menu.
Amazingly, even though you waited doing nothing, your lap will probably not be the slowest one

The next step is to very slowly increase your speed to easily beat the rivals.
Open the rival selection in the leaderboards ( ), select "near me" ( twice), pick the time just above yours, set as rival, then run again.
Waiting a while in front of the finish line to beat the rival by "just a few seconds" can get boring quickly, so you can "just" run veeeeeeery slowly this time. Don't even shift to second gear.
Next time you'll just run a liiiiitle bit faster.
Also, remember to hit a wall or go in the grass to keep your lap dirty !
As soon as you beat the rival, finish the race, go back to the rivals menu, select the next one, and make another very slow lap. If you let the game pick a "next rival" for you, it won't be the one just above your time.
You should be able to beat 10 rivals easily, by slowly increasing the pace each time.
If you set a "good" lap time by mistake, and you have trouble beating the next rival, just find another track/class combination you haven't done before, and repeat the operation. |
