The closest I got so far was going south from the start and across the second most southernly bridge, as most of it is straighter, wider roads. Missed it by two or three seconds.
That's my path of choice, too. It's even possible to chain burnouts from South Bay Expressway to the finish line if you're good (...I'm not). The part between Lone Stallion Ranch and the Wind Farm is almost a straight line when you take all shortcuts - that tunnel leading to the construction site alone can probably give you the few seconds you need once you know where to take it - it's a *fast* part. With motion blur and bumper cam it's an awesome place to drive through in TripleHead, too 8)

Just got it done. Went south liek before but then i missed a turtn and decide to keep going. I went south from start and stuck to the southern, then western perimeters. Finished with 10 seconds to spare, with two crashes. BUt i DID have boost held near the whoel time. (got my first 4x boost refill thing)

Hmm i guess I could've edited my previous post, eh? Take THAT, screenspace!

Ok thanks. In numerous occasions my car just stopped rolling after one barrel while it had plenty of airtime left... so I was wondering if I had to strike a key or sth :lol: Guess I just need practicing, I won all Stunt Runs thanks to billboards and super jumps with flat spins here and there, i.e everything but barrel rolls...



Try going off a raised ramp, I know theres an online thingy for 2 players where you both have to do a double barrel roll off of a certain jump that sends you down below to the train bridge.

If you plan on doing the online challenges, you might as well just forget about that achievement because you will end up getting it as you do the challenges.


Anyone up for an online race? ^^

Don't count on me, I'm an offline biatch.

Finally got the 360 flat spin AND double barrel roll, both at the same time :shock: while doing a stunt run (taking the ramp that launches you down into the excavation site near the dam). And to think I had tried to perform each one separately from that same ramp for more than an hour...

Now my last achievements are a x40 stunt combo (tricky, but reaching x25 is pretty easy, so I think I can do it) and a x20 burnout combo (I really don't know if I'll ever complete this one - that's a pretty looong and difficult challenge)...

20x burnout should be fairly easy just hop on the I-88 with a slowish car.

Don't hop over buses and you'll be fine :)

10x burnout was not quite as hard as I thought, but it can be frustrating - so 20x... Even with a "slowish" car, you need constant oncoming and not a single mistake in a long, long while. A real challenge for me...

Yep :) Its quite easy I just got 5Mill on a 1Mill street. I actually had done like 10 of them before by accident.

My hand hurts :(



49x Burnout, 21.8 Miles in oncoming using this car on the I-88 for like 10 minutes:

Me too, but like I said above, what's the point of having it? There are no Elite level challenges to do. I assumed there would be because the Hawker Burning Route in A Class is a 2:53 event. I've seen a video of a guy doing it where the time was 2:45. Is that perhaps an online Burning Route time or maybe the console version has different times than the PC version?

Is there nothing left to do but achievements once you get to Elite, no new event challenges?

Nope, Elite simply means like "You're done!"

Whats left now is 100% complete (the last achievement on the list)
101% Complete
102% Complete
Bikes + 101% Complete

Then I guess just like the gold color option I now have for cars, the only thing the rest gets me is a platinum color option?

Hmmm, not sure I even want to waste time driving around to find all the billboards and smash throughs and beat the road rules just for that.

I guess I can always wait for the next DLC content to arrive, but no talk of the stuff I want being included in it, like bike AI and events, and Elite events for the cars.

Mean time, can anyone answer my question above? Why is there a 2:45 time for the Hawker Burning Route when the PC version tops out at 2:53 for A Class?

Is the 2:45 time exclusive to consoles or online play?
