    Yay, another solution -- I did a video and wrote up the technique though, hope it helps someone.


    This shows how to get A LOT of Perfect Drafts. This is specifically for the following achievement:
    Dirty Air 15G - Get 100 Perfect Draft Scores
    Following this guide will allow you to get them quickly, in one showcase race: Daytona (30 laps). You will also unlock the In The Draft Platinum NASCAR badge in the process (shown in video @ 0:24), which you can equip to also get the following achievement:

    FYI, completing this showcase alone is also enough to net you the following achievement:

    Technique:
    0. Choose NASCAR Showcases and pick Daytona, you can verify it's the right one because it will be 30 laps
    1. Set Drivatar Difficulty to Average or Above Average -- anything below this will make it difficult to keep a car in front of you
    2. Work your way toward the top, this can take a few laps. Don't worry, there's plenty of laps even if it takes you 5+ laps.
    3. Get behind the 1st car and feather the accelerator. The main thing is to be squarely behind the 1st car, not too close, not too far, as shown in the video. It's not too hard, after a bit of practice in a few laps you will even be able to get perfect drafts while cornering. Distance should be 2-3 carlengths back, reference video for example.
    4. You should aim to get at least 10 drafts per lap. Don't worry if this is not happening in the beginning, it will take a few laps of practice once it's just you and the #1 car in front of you, but at 10+ Perfect Drafts per lap, you only need 10 laps to get this.
    5. Once the "In The Draft" Platinum badge pops, you're done. The "Dirty Air" achievement doesn't pop until you finish the race, but you can go ahead and take the #1 position and just race to the end in 1st place.

    Itzz Sh0wt1m3Wow I got 20+ perfect shares like this, whereas I only had less than 5 prior. THanks a lot, worked like a charm!

    GoatlipsYou can still get this without paid DLC (which bizarrely can't be bought any more). I think Free Play mode on the Indianapolis Oval is better as it has more straights. I used a P class Le Mans 24hr style Nissan I think (the open wheel Indy cars don't draft well at all) with expert opponents plenty of assists, over 50 laps. As soon as you see you've won the platinum drafting badge you can quit the race to get the Dirty Air achievement. You can then apply the badge for the Geared Up achievement too.
    NB: The platinum badge for drafting will previously go gold, so if you need the 'Gold Digging' achievement you will need to quit the race and equip the badge before it changes to platinum! I missed that chance and I now have to drive 500 miles to get a gold badge for distance driven (which is probably the next easiest gold badge - I will check, maybe there's something quicker)!

    I completed the achivement by running the Strictly Stock At Daytona Showcase Event.

    30 laps of Daytona Intl Speedway Tri-Oval

    Basically draft the cars as much as possible Over the 30 laps
    4x Perfect Drafts every lap will easily give you 120 Drafts.

    You only need 100 Perfect Drafts to make the Dirty Air Achivement pop

    AmniosI was about to post something similar :)

    Because Daytona (or daytozzzzzzzzzzzz) is 100% full throttle you can follow someone around it and just feather the throttle and you get perfect drafts popping up like a pinball machine.

    I did over 50 on a single 12 lap race.

    LoftyJust to add to this i did it in the showcase event but i literally sat on the rear bumper of a car until the diamond medal showed up, i was getting about 15 to 20 perfect drafts a lap
