A warning to players who are looking to start DiRT 5: this achievement is currently very buggy. Progress may stop tracking. Some players report success with deleting local save files and/or simply playing until it starts tracking again. Right now, there is no guaranteed solution if your progress is frozen.UPDATE: As of November 17th, 2020, Codemasters has reduced the requirement from 10,000 miles to 1,000 miles.After completing all other achievements, around 6-8 hours of additional grinding may be required. The original solution is listed below for the "True Achievements 10k 2" Playground track.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have created a Playground to aid with this grueling achievement. Good news, the achievement can be grinded by simply using a wrench or rubber band (or other household item) to wedge your
down, and the car will rack up miles by itself. Just make sure to have the controller plugged in so it doesn't turn off.
The track is called "True Achievements 10k 2". Go to
PLAYGROUND, then
DISCOVER, then hit
to
SEARCH. Type in the name, select the track, and then drive off the starting platform into the narrow corridor below. The walls do all the work. No steering required.
Some caveats:
- A session only lasts for 60 minutes. Right now, there seems to be no way around this.
- The session must end, but you don't have to go through the FINISH platform. Driving until the 60 minutes run out is fine.
- Achievement progress only updates after the session is over.
- Testing your own playground does provide infinite time, but mileage doesn't seem to track. It has to be a race/event session.
The track requires the Subaru Impreza RX car. The car will slow down to 45-50mph in the corners, then accelerate to 105-110mph down the straights. It is recommended that you save this achievement until last, as completing the career will provide 40-50% progress.
