    There was a guide for this before, not sure where it went.

    You will want to go to "horizon tour" on the map, it is located where the first horizon festival was setup.

    You will compete in 3 random race events with a random car class with a team of other people online. The good news is it's against AI and you don't need to rely on your team being good to get this achievement. The AI aren't hard, I beat them every race. (Some people are saying they are hard, make sure you upgrade your cars before the race, it makes them much easier)

    Since there is only 3 races in a tour you will need to do another tour, for me it popped after I did 3 races on my first tour then on my second tour it unlocked at the end of the second race, making it 5 races total.

    The achievement tracker didn't go up at all for me, so if you don't see it go up just keep trying.

    You don't need to come first in the whole event, you just need to beat all the AI (the red team), so if you have a really good teammate who is always first then don't worry, just focus on being first vs the AI.

    I was able to beat them with stock cars but if you are struggling then you can, quickly before the event starts, upgrade your car to the maximum the event will allow, that should give you a fairly decent advantage against them.

    EDIT: You can track progress of this by pinning an accolade. Press Start>accolades>online>horizon tour, it’s 2 up and 5 across, then pin it. (Thanks Agelessred for the tip)

    ChucklestyleYou MUST drive to the spot on the map just a couple hundred yards north of the main festival site for the co-op tour. Picking from the pause menu always put me in free-for-all with no drivatars.

    thanatos8285Hardest part about this for me was other humans getting butthurt that I had passed them and then running me off the road when they caught up. Not like it’s a team event or anything… Didn’t even bother finishing the race once I had any significant crashes or spin outs.

    Eternal8laze591This one sucks so bad. Way too many different types of car restrictions and thus too many tunes to keep up with. Yeah, you can beat the AI with default tunes, but only if you're really good or lucky. One of the many things in the game that makes me wish they had less customization on the cars.

    I was struggling to get ahead of all Drivatars with stock cars and I finally realized that the easiest way to get this achievement was to wait for an Anything Goes Horizon Tour, and especially the A-Class one.

    So I highly recommend to get a A800 car, I personnaly used the 2008 Lancer Evolution GSR "Welcome pack" , I saw other players do well with the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S but any A800 car with good stats should do the trick. I was able to beat all drivatars quite easily that way, you can even sometimes crash once during the race and still beat them.
