    To unlock this achievement you first need to unlock the Accelerato Boost then play a game on the Utopia Coliseum using one of the original battle-cars Octane, Zippy, Backfire or Scarab.


    Fastest way to do this is to create an Exhibition Match and select Utopia Coliseum as the Arena and once the game starts hold downcn_RT then press cn_B to boost and this achievement will pop.

    *Item unlocks are random so the Accelerato boost could be one of the first items you unlock or possible one of the last just keep playing games to unlock an item each time.

    *To check if you have unlocked the Accelerato boost check in the garage menu under the Rocket Trails section.

    Brando83Urban Central with Octane equipped with Accelerato worked for me, as TheCRod666 said.

    Before attempting this achievement both the Accelerato and one of the original battle-cars must be unlocked which are: Octane, Zippy, Scarab and Backfire. These will all have unlocked by playing enough matches.

    Once the car and the accelerato boost trail have been equipped, the match must be set up. This can be done by chance with this set-up however it'd be easier to set the game up yourself.

    Go to Exhibition match and set the map to Utopia Coliseum - as this has been proved to work. You can also remove the mutators and remove bots to make life easier.

    Once this has been set up, simply start the game and boost (cn_RT + cn_B).

    The achievement didn't pop for me until a goal was scored so give it a minute to unlock. If it doesn't, check your car configuration.

    I figured this out from the comments on some of the other solutions, but I wanted to get this front and center as the game has changed a lot since launch and many of the solutions aren't quite accurate.

    I unlocked this by boosting on the Urban Central arena with the Octane vehicle and the Standard boost equipped. The accelerato boost is no longer required.

    AsokoThanks man! Thumbs up, nothing was working for me... but I did use the Accelerato boost and it pop up like 2 minutes after the match end.
