    This achievement is for winning a High Heat 5 race, then returning to your garage safely.

    There are two different types of High Heat races: High Heat 3 and High Heat 5. As their names suggest, they are locked until you reach heat 3 and 5 respectively, and they're only available at night. You also need a certain amount of bank to be able to race. For heat 3 it's $12,000 and for heat 5 it's $20,000.

    Regardless, the locations of these races swap between a few different races and are different each night. I'd suggest, to make this easiest as possible, to keep heading out at night / returning to your garage until you get the following race as the High Heat 5 race seen in the middle/right of the picture:

    Once you see the High Heat 5 race there, use the method in the following video to get to heat 5:


    Once you hit heat 5 and don't have any cops chasing you, carefully drive to the race (obviously make sure your cars PI is high enough, that should go without saying though). Start the race and win and you'll get a volatile part which can be anything from an Epic to an Ultimate+ part. You should also finish close-ish to the place in the video above and a safe house. If there are cops chasing you, use the method above to avoid them, then carefully drive to the closest safehouse. Once you get there, you'll unlock your achievement.

    DadliestGamerI was having a hard time actually winning the race until I switched the in game difficulty from Normal down to Easy then got it first attempt. Cops seem much less aggressive and I went from not even making it back to the garage with a loss on normal to full vehicle health and a Heat 5 win on easy.

    LadyNova01You only need $12,000 bank for the Heat 3 race. And $20,000 for the Heat 5 Race

    CagyCrownCZJust a few things I learned and I how I did this one. Choose Easy (thx DadliestGamer), also bcs you are on easy and you only want to win this trophy you can choose as parts - passive Extra Mix (for better nitro). For heat level 5 I use the track Venturi (350) near the Black Market, then Lighting (400) and again Venturi - Lighting. Also if you reach heat 5, you can quit the race (start - quit). Then its really anoying but use map very often when you are going to 5 heat race, the police can spawn anytime (and be sure they spawn a lot around your destination) and yeah trophy pops up after you reach the safe house.
