Womi Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) http://www.abload.de/img/indyfatb.gif Welcome to my first guide I'm glad for any comments and/or criticism. Overview Estimated achievement difficulty: 7/10 Estimated time for 1000: 20-25 hours Offline: 48 (960http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg) Online: 2 (40http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg) Minimum playthroughs: 1 Missable achievements: None Glitched achievements: None Cheats disable achievements: No cheats Difficulty affect achievements: No Roadmap General driving tips: - Push the analog stick very gentle in corners. You'll lose lots of speed when you oversteer (you're doing it wrong when your controller vibrates) - Try to overtake your opponents on straightaways. Overtaking in corners is risky because one touch of your opponent is enough to spin your car around. - Play at easy difficulty since it doesn't affect any achievement. Step 1: Career Mode The career mode takes quite some time and gets boring very quickly. You have to participate in every race of every season to get the "Complete" achievement for every year. You don't have to win every race - it's enough to be in the top 3 at the end of the season. To save time, you can skip the qualification run on every track and start at the back of the grid except Indianapolis 500. Always buy the newest/best available car setup. You'll have more than enough money to buy every chassis later in your career. Be sure to get the following achievements during your career progression: 1962: "Barrier Broken" - Get a 150.370 mph qualification average at Indianapolis. This one is not that easy, but very doable with a 1964 rear engine car. An alternative is to go back with a 1971 car once you finished the career mode. 1962 or 1963: "Station No. VI" - Win the Indy 500 race with a 1963 Novi engine (you need a front engine chassis for this engine) 1966: "Rocketman" - Win the Indy 500 race with a turbine powered car. Easy enough, just buy the "1967 Granatelli (Turbine)" and win the race. 1970: "The Full Set" - Buy every chassis you're still missing in your collection 1971: "A Not So "Quick Race" - This is a good opportunity to finish the boring 200 lap Indy race. Step 2: Yearbook Challenges In the Yearbook Challenge mode, you have to finish cerain tasks like overtaking 5 opponents or beating a qualification average speed. Most of the challenges are quite easy. But be aware that full damage is turned on on all of them. The hardest challenge is "1962 - Parnelli Puts it on Pole!". I suggest you save this one until you've beaten the rest. Getting gold in all challenges is by far the most difficult achievement in the game. Step 3: Multiplayer Find two friends to boost with and create a 10 lap race. Langhorne is the shortest track in the game. Just one win for each of you is needed to get the last two achievements. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpg Pole Sitter - 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Take the pole at the Indianapolis 500 Get the fastest qualification average speed in a Indianapolis 500 qualification. You'll have a lot of chances to get this one since you need to qualify every year in the career mode (unlike the other races, you can't skip the Indianapolis qualification because it will not allow you to start at the back of the grid). http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgBarrier Broken - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Beat Parnelli Jones' 150.370 mph qualification average at Indianapolis in 1962 (Career) This one is not that easy. You have to race 4 perfect laps in the 1962 Indianapolis qualification. My setup: 1963 Lotus rear engine chassis, 1963 Ford rear mounted engine, 1963 5 speed rear mounted gearbox. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgRocketman - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Win the Indianapolis 500 in a turbine powered car You can do this one in quick race or wait until you can buy either the "1967 Granatelli (Turbine)" or the "1968 Lotus (Turbine)" special car in career mode and win the Indianapolis 500 race with it. Cars to use in quick race: Year: 1967 - Car: Granatelli - Parnelli Jones or Year: 1968 - Car: Lotus - Joe Leonard / Art Pollard / Graham Hill http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgGentlemen, Start Your Engines - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Start the 1961 Indy 500 race in Career Unlocks as soon as your first Indy 500 race in the career mode begins. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgFinisher 1961 - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Place top 3 in the 1961 season standings in Career See "Finisher 1971" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgFinisher 1962 - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Place top 3 in the 1962 season standings in Career See "Finisher 1971" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgFinisher 1963 - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Place top 3 in the 1963 season standings in Career See "Finisher 1971" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgFinisher 1964 - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Place top 3 in the 1964 season standings in Career See "Finisher 1971" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgFinisher 1965 - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Place top 3 in the 1965 season standings in Career See "Finisher 1971" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgFinisher 1966 - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Place top 3 in the 1966 season standings in Career See "Finisher 1971" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgFinisher 1967 - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Place top 3 in the 1967 season standings in Career See "Finisher 1971" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgFinisher 1968 - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Place top 3 in the 1968 season standings in Career See "Finisher 1971" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgFinisher 1969 - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Place top 3 in the 1969 season standings in Career See "Finisher 1971" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgFinisher 1970 - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Place top 3 in the 1970 season standings in Career See "Finisher 1971" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgFinisher 1971 - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Place top 3 in the 1971 season standings in Career With the career difficulty set to "easy", this should be no problem. Combine these achievements with the "Complete 19xx" ones to avoid a second playthrough. http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgHappy To Be On The Podium - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Bronze in every Mission in Yearbook See "The Winner" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgSo Close - 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Silver in every Mission in Yearbook See "The Winner" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgThe Winner - 50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg Gold in every Mission in Yearbook See "The Winner" http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/achievements/614/+Dwtjw==.jpgGood For You - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg First gold in any Mission in Yearbook This is the hardest achievement in the game. There are 21 challenges waiting for you in the yearbook mode.

Put more detail into the guide there is only descriptions for like 5 Achievements. There's really no need to describe achievements like "Win your first race" or "Win at track X" since you get all of them in your first career year.

Dragon86 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I believe it is 60 percent of ALL the drivers not just the current year. Some drivers don't begin to enter races until the mid to late sixties (i.e. Wally Dallenbach, Gordon Johncock) I didn't get this one until year 1966 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krianna21 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Yeah it wasnt until I had 40 drivers respect me til i got the achievement. But i finally got it.
