    Firstly, you need to unlock the showcase by completing the Seeker Championship and unlocking the Breakout Championship.

    You will find the showcase on the bottom line inside the Breakout Championship.

    After clicking to the race, you need to change the race length. Do this by pressing cn_RB and selecting assists. Go to the bottom and change the race length to Extra Long.

    Change any other assists you see necessary, and also look at the Drivatar Difficulty.

    You can change the skill level for Drivatars and receive additional credits: (This only affects the other racers skill and not your assist difficulty).
    New Racer/Inexperience/Average +0%CR
    Above Average +20%CR
    Highly Skilled +40%CR
    Expert +60%CR
    Pro +80%CR
    Unbeatable +100%CR.



    Now you're ready to race! This is 69 laps and will take between 2¾ to 3 hours.

    N.B. MODS are unavailable to use in this race.

    If leaving a negative vote, please comment why so I can look into adapting the solution.

    Iggsy81The advice from Becker SWE is priceless, good job man.

    SturmFlammeI am using this method right now and unfortunately I can't let it out of sight because the AI hits nearly every lap the wall after the chicane after Eau Rouge. Bit of annoying. Lap 19/69 - race time: 51 minutes.

    You gain access to the Spa-Francorchamps 100 showcase with the Breakout Championship, which first requires you complete the Seeker Championship. A car is provided for you, so you can do this at any time.

    You'll need to adjust the race length to "Extra Long" in the Assists menu after you've selected the showcase. This changes the race length from the "Standard" 23 laps to 69 laps. The race takes roughly three hours to complete. You don't have to win the race, just complete all 69 laps, so you can adjust the difficulty of the Drivatars if you want to get more credits.

    The easiest method, however, is to set the assist configuration to "Super Easy". Doing so means you just have to hold RT down and the game does the rest of the work for you. If you have the means of keeping the trigger held down (or whatever button you use to accelerate), you can just set the controller down and do something else for a couple of hours. You may also want to turn vibration off and plug your controller into the console so it doesn't time out and disconnect.

    You may not have to do this, but what I did was set the assists at my normal level for the first lap or two until I got into first place (with lowest difficulty Drivatars), and then switched to Super Easy. I found that letting the AI drive while huddled together with a bunch of cars meant I kept ramming into them and not passing them. Then I taped down RT and did some other stuff. By lap 16 I was already lapping the other drivers, and by the time I finished the race I was something like 75,000 feet ahead of second place.

    THOR4205A few things that made my 69-lap experience a little better (9 Jan 2021, Xbox Series X, United States):
    1. Two rubber bands (I assigned one of the big paddles on my Elite 2 controller to RT/throttle).
    2. Driver skill level: Inexperienced Driver (+0%)
    3. I got out in front and then let the "Super Easy" auto pilot do a lot of work.
    4. Every couple of laps, after that last hard switch-back turn that confuses the AI, I would hold the brakes. I did this to let the 2nd place car get close, but not too close.
    5. The reason I did the braking thing was to (a) have a 'manual jiggle' to avoid my controller falling asleep (b) avoid the AI doing really poorly at passing.
    6. By doing #4, I only had to intervene to pass the one 'super slow' 24th place car around lap 38-39.

    Then I kept doing the #4 braking thing every 2 laps all the way to the end. Never had to pass any other cars, just kept 2-23 close and only lapped 24 the one time as described above. I was able to do chores around the house and just check in every 5-6 minutes. Took about 3 hours and 4 minutes.

    lfcjohn"Go to options then choose controls and press X (advanced controls). Now do all from steering, acceleration and brakes to the max. (clutch and handbrakes do nothing) "

    Best comment from Lava303
    as i set this up in advanced option and just rubber RT and left over, after 20 laps it's running 1st place without any issue. Using Super Easy with lowest driviator difficulty.

    My lap time is around 2:35 and as a result it should take around 3hrs to finish. Best solution without monitoring per few laps.

    SpirantCrayon22The one-hour version was enough for me as the car is crap (not my driving, no, no way, I'm like Lewis Hamilton, honest) so Super Easy, rubber bands on (full acceleration), telly and vibrations off, went to sleep, woke up, turned on the telly, saw a completed race, pressed A, got the achievement. Did nothing to "correct" what the Xbox did. Thanks!

    Start up the showcase and just before you click start race go into assists then scroll down to length set that to extra long it will be 69 laps and take you about 3 and a half hours to complete.

    TheSWFCDoes anybody know if you turn your Xbox off halfway through a race, when you restart it does it remember how many laps you have done? I'm never going to have 3 hours in one sitting to complete this.

    BobalobTDTheSWFC you can pause it and come back to it later
