EDIT: It appears that Platinum medals will not count as a new medal if you have 3 gold medals. So each event will only offer you 3 medals maximum to the stats (36 total in base game). The platinum will only count as a medal to the Platinum related achievement.

EDIT January 2021: In August of 2020 the DLC content was made unavailable making this achievement unobtainable for anyone starting now.

Unfortunately, as of April 1st 2019 this achievement is Paid DLC unlockable only. All free Spotlight events are now permanently closed and will no longer cycle.

If you managed to get 2 or more medals in Spotlight events previously, you can still achieve this. If you only had 1 or 0 spotlight medals then this can only be achieved with a download pack for around $6-10.

There are 12 Events in Career mode. Each event offers 4 medals (3 Golds, and a Platinum for beating high score and receiving three golds). That makes 48 medals total. Realistically, casual players would only likely be able to hit 37 medals. Above this amount is an enormous learning curve requiring manual shifting, no assists, and high AI difficulty.

I have not got this achievement as I am at 44 medals. I could realistically get 47 with some better times, but I doubt I can reach 50. Essentially - if you only ever game in Automatic transmission then you will not get this. without paid DLC.

And here I am, amending my statement. The medal counter doesn't count platinum medals at all, but it DOES count the first race you ever do in Apex, which netted me 3 extra medals. This means that, if you got 3 medals on every event you can reach 39 medals. If the platinum medals get counted (mine didn't), you can reach 51 medals. This means that this one is still possibly achievable, even though based on my personal experience the platinum medals are near impossible to obtain.

So is this still possible or not?

It's unavailable currently for new players.

I need to revisit this over this week and amend my guide as the Platinum information may be incorrect or have changed since launch.

there are 12 events in the career mode..., spotlight has 4 free events, changing every few weeks to other events. there are DLC event, but i haven't bought them, so i can't tell you if they count towards your goal (although i suppose they do)

From 1 august 2020 this achievement is unobtainable, because DLC spotlight events are closed.

Partially discontinued, it's not unobtainable. Unobtainable means the achievements was always broken.
