Ignorant Quarrel Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 You gather more miles pinning the accelerater down while it constantly resets you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandoc2 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 yeah i raced pikes peak for a few hours and had enough of racing the same track over and over for 8 minutes. Great track but a little redundant, ill take a sleeping achievement on this one Good job ive got a wired one will try this tonight and see what happens in the morning - got about 6miles for 30mins of donuts so need another 105miles So maybe 5 hrs might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenovatioCogito Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Here's how I did it, it was time consuming but it worked.. on the first teir there's an up-hill race on windy ridge I think it's called. Anyway, go flat out to the second checkpoint, turn around and come back. Rinse, repeat. Your car will top out at about 112 mph, so you race an hour and you hit 100 miles.. easy really, just extremely boring.. This method as well as Pike's Peak Full both net you around 1.5-1.7 miles per minute of play time (depending on how good you are at Pike's Peak) So, this is a good alternative to Pike's Peak if you're getting bored with it. A couple tips: when going forward just run straight off the edge after checkpoint two where the orange barriers are. If you do it right, you wont hit any bushes and flip the car (which would waste a few seconds of time due to you having to start the car back up again) The game will reset you and you can turn around and go back. This is faster than slamming on the brakes since the game resets you not moving. Also, when going back to the start line, just keep racing past the start line. You'll get a bit extra road and the game will automatically reset you at the start line pointing the right direction, so no need to turn around! I estimate that each run gives you about 3 miles in just under 2 minutes (~1:45 by my completely unscientific calculations) ... puts you in at just over 100 miles per hour of doing this. Pike's Peak seems to net around the same mileage per minute of play if you're averaging around 7:00 to 7:30 per run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pascal08 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 My statistics says that I've driven 809.16 miles, but I just got my 500 miles achievement. I think my achievement didn't unlock when it has to. Anybody with the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryicebomb Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 My statistics says that I've driven 809.16 miles, but I just got my 500 miles achievement. I think my achievement didn't unlock when it has to. Anybody with the same problem? The achievement only counts the miles in Career mode, the statistics counts all miles driven in all of the games modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pascal08 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Hahah lol, I raced about 2 miles and the achievement unlocked. Now I'm going for the 1000 miles. (250 miles a night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blingcannon Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I got this around 1300 miles. I guess i drove more online and in practice mode than I thought.... My strategy was similar to one mentioned above. I kept doing the career hill climb race on Pike's Peak Short on one of the top tiers...maybe 3 or 4. You can pick one of the fastest cars in the game and its the top part of Pike's Peak which is arguably the fastest. It's also much wider and the turns aren't too sharp so you should average over 100 mph. Just before reaching the top, I'd turn around and head back down to the part right before the switchback and repeat until my eyes went numb.

OtherWorldView Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Finally got the achievement. Total was 1275miles and that's complete with championships and 7 online races (if they count?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strikerzex911 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Thanks for this tip! I'm doing it on pikes peak 2 checkpoints before the finish. I have the right trigger taped down. It's going on an edge constantly. I'll see if my achievement unlocks later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zxello Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm ridiculously annoyed with this achievement. I have all of the achievements for DiRT other than this one and DiRT 2 is about to come out. I'm at ~1100 miles but I have no way of knowing how many online or tournament race miles I've done... ARG!

Retom7 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 That's a good call on the sleep play. I have a few hundred miles to go. I have done everything else legit so I may end up doing this last one on my own too, but at the same time, there are just so many things to play on my backlog that I may sleep it so I can focus on others. At this rate, I should finish playing my backlog by the time the Xbox 720 comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKR33P3R Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I just got my 1000 miles achievement (last one I needed) and I did it by going on Pikes Peak, but just before the 2nd to last 180 turn, I would drive that straight away up and down.... over and over and over. I used my fastest car and I think I did about a total of 5-6 30-50 minute runs. NOTE: I had already run through the career once so I had about less than 500 miles under my belt. Glad to finally be finished with this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1610 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Works a treat if you can restart at the right spot. You want to be able to go off the road just to the left of the long fence and restart about 100m back in the same line, not so you will hit the fence straight ahead or restart further ahead at the side of the fence. I hit 65mph and clocked about 400 miles in 10 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filter x360a Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) I'm sitting at about 1269 right now, hoping to get it soon. I keep racing the 12.4 mi race over and over.
