Welcome to Race Pro, released in early 2009 by Atari exclusively for the Xbox 360, here comes an exceptional simulation racer known for its ultra realism and authenticity when especially focusing on the cars and their physics. The game features many real cars, real drivers and real tracks famous from all over the globe.
Hotseat - 4 Achievements - 40
First things first, let's get the splitscreen achievements out the way, but they're not technically splitscreen as each player takes turns trying to set the fastest lap on any given race. All you need to do is complete and then win both a Cooperative and a Competitive Hotseat game. So grab a second controller and control yours win.
Time Attack - 2 Achievements - 20
Here you can get both Time Attack achievements in 2 laps. Go into Time Attack mode, choose any car & track of your choice. Now just complete a full lap (unlocking your first achievement) and on your second lap just beat the ghost of your previous time (unlocking your second achievement to beat a ghost). Note, do not cut corners or your time will not be recorded for that lap thus not unlocking the achievements.
Finish 1st in Pro - 13 Achievements - 260
These achievements basically require you to win on each track of the game on the Pro difficulty setting with any car. I will say this now, Pro (Professional) difficulty will not give the non racer/average gamer any problems so don't let the 260 worry you.
This is reasonable because you can set the game to 1 lap and 1 AI driver. In the race, the AI driver will normally follow you closely but unless you crash, they will never pass you and this is providing you make a small effort on the corners and make sure they do not pass you by blocking them. This is because when they do pass you it is likely that you will have some trouble taking your place back. The concept applies to every track, just make sure on the race settings you choose Professional at the race settings.
Contracts/Misc - 15 Achievements - 250
Contracts is the main "Career" mode for this game and where you will spend most of your time on. In Contracts mode, there are several contracts with several races, the amount of races and laps in these races increase as you progress through the mode. Laps range from 3-7 to make the later races longer. You will also be able to get all miscellaneous achievements in the game within Contracts mode such as the Pole position wins, try-outs, stand ins & qualifying.
For the Contracts itself, you need to come in first place in every race in every contact including the Stand-ins in order to gain all the Contract achievements. As soon as a tryout appears, accept it as it will make progressing through the Contracts much quicker as you will be short in credits otherwise.
Championships - 4 Achievements - 140
Note: You must complete all Contracts to unlock all the Championships.
Go into the Championships mode and select the first championship (Mini series.) Set the AI drivers down to 1 and difficulty to Professional and win the championship to earn 3 achievements. You can adjust any other settings to make things easier but make sure the difficulty is set to Pro.
Now, you need to finish (not win) every single Championship in the game. There are 19 of them with 7-11 races in each of them. This will take twice as long ad Contracts (around 25 hours alone) but there is a quicker way to finish all Championships. Simply start up a race and once it has started pause the game and select "End Session". You need to do this for every race, for each car class in every championship. This will save around 90% of the time if you were to fully race them all and the achievement will pop after 2-3 hosts of quitting.
Multiplayer - 12 Achievements - 290
You basically need to host, complete & win 50 ranked matches and then host, complete & win another 50 player matches. This is best done with another friend by trading wins as the Multiplayer for this game is isolated so there should be no problem in boosting. You can find people to boost with in the Achievement Trading Thread.
Thanks for reading.
