When you start the game you will be promoted to do a practice lap in a BMW. When you finish the lap it'll suggest settings for you - you can choose to do the lap again or advance to the the actual race. When you advance the trophy will unlock.

This is unmissable, it can be unlocked at any time. If you finish first in the event after you do the practice lap then the trophy will unlock.

See The Final Countdown. To reach tier 2 you must obtain 30 stars, this is easy as all of the tier 1 events are easy enough to win all of the stars.

To unlock tier 3 you must obtain 80 stars from events you compete in; most races have a possiblitly of 6 stars to be earned. See The Final Countdown for a list of objectives.

For each tier you must get a certain amount of stars to unlock it. Below is a list of objectives. Each star can only be obtained once, but if you fail all of the stars on the first go, then reselect the race later on and only focus on the stars.

Finish 1st (3 stars)
Finish 2nd (2 stars)
Finish 3rd (1 star)
Perform a clean lap (1 star)
Spin out 3 opponents (1 star)
Beat lap time [X] (1 star)
Master all corners (1 star)

There are 2 types of points that you can earn: Aggression points and Precision points. The more points from each type you earn depends on what type of driver you are.

Aggression Points:

• Dirty overtaking (overtaking someone making contact in the process)
• Tapping out an opponent (forcing an opponent off the track by only tapping them)

• Corner sliding (sliding around a corner)

Precision Points:

There are 4 types of badges: Bronze (1 quarter), Silver (half), Gold (3 quarters) & Epic (all). There are 27 badges in all, so you can skip 7 and still get the Platinum.

Clean Race - 3 Epic Badges
One for completing a clean race on each track in Europe, Japan and the US. To get these easily, go to "Quick Race" on the menu, select the track you need to perform a clean lap on and set the AI to zero. Be careful and you should get each epic badge easily.

Corner Master - 3 Epic Badges
One for mastering all corners on each track in Europe, Japan and the US. Use the same method as "Clean Race" if you're struggling. Also, there is a guide on how to master corners: Here

Trading Paint - 1 Epic Badge
You must trade paint with cars 250 times.

Overtaking - 2 Epic Badges
One for clean overtakes and another for dirty overtakes. To get both epic badges you must perform 500 overtakes (250 cleans and 250 dirties).

Drafting - 1 Epic Badge
You must draft 250 times (see Agressive Points in Driving Legend).

Perfect Launch - 1 Epic Badge
When you start a race the speedometer will have an N on it, rev the engine to make the N go green. The greener the N, the better the launch, despite being called "Perfect Launches" you only need to get a Good, Great or Perfect launch for it to count towards the epic badge.

Difficulty - 1 Epic Badge
You need to win 25 races on each difficulty to win this. I suggest doing all of the easy wins in Career, then if you're decent and once you've won 25 on Easy, switch to Medium. I suggest doing the method mentioned in Clean Races for Hard.

Iron Man - 1 Epic Badge
You must finish 10 consecutive races in 1st for this badge. If you haven't gotten this by the end of your Career, go to "Quick Race" and set the AI to zero and select a quick track.

Star Collector - 1 Epic Badge
You must collect every single star in tier 1, 2 3 & 4. If you're going for platinum I recommend trying for a different epic badge.

Endurance, Series and Mixed - 3 Epic Badges
To obtain these you must finish 1st on all the events in Endurance, Series and Mixed.

Defeat Rivals - 1 Epic Badge
You must defeat every rival in the game. Note that to obtain the epic badge for this you must also win the World Series.

Manufacturer Loyalty - 3 Epic Badges

Driver Duel Championship - 1 Epic Badge

The Hot Lap Competition consists of 4 Time Attacks. You are on your own with a given car and you have to beat the best time. Here are the 4 times to beat on Easy:

- Alpental (Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione): 00:52.00
- Glendale West (Maserati GranTurismo S): 01:05.00
- Riviera - Monument Loop (Acura NSX): 00:50.00
- Tokyo short (McLaren MP4-12C): 00:49.00

To get this trophy, all you have to do is to complete a race online with each car from the DLC. You don't need to win them. It will still count even if you can't reach the finish line within 30 seconds after the winner has finished. The cars from the DLC are:

- Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
- BMW M1 Procar
- GUMPERT apollo
- Acura NSX
- McLaren MP4-12C
- Maserati GranTurismo S
- Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss

This means you'll have to play at least 7 races online.

The Exotic Time Attack Competition consists of 4 races against the AI. You have to beat the AI time to win, but in order to get this trophy, you'll have to beat a fixed record for each race. Here are the records to beat on Easy:

- Brands Hatch Indy: 00:52.000
- Silverstone National: 01:03.000
- London River: 01:30.000
- Donington National: 01:18.000

For these races, you can only use the Acura NSX, the Alfa 8C Competizione or the Maserati GranTurismo S. Don't forget that you can buy racing parts to improve these cars. This will make things much easier.

Riviera Tour is a 4 race championship (one race on each Riviera version). You'll have to come in first on each race to get the trophy.

Exotic World Tour is a 5 race championship. To get this trophy, you'll have to get all the stars for this championship. This means that for each race, you have to finish first, earn a fixed amount of points and complete an objective. It's not necessary to earn all the stars in one playthrough. Here are the point requirements and specific objectives for each race on Easy:

- Ambush Canyon: Earn 2400 pts and Own 75% Racing Line
- Monte Grande: Earn 2960 pts and 100 Drafting Points (in one go)
- London Royal Mile: Earn 2560 pts and Perform a Clean Lap
- Tokyo Circuit: Earn 3040 pts and Lead for an Entire Lap
- Spa GP: Earn 3280 pts and Own 75% Racing Line

If you have trouble earning points or achieving objectives, here are some tips:

- The best way I found to earn a lot of points is to trade paint as much as you can. Stay in the middle of a group of opponents and crash into them as much as you can.
- To own 75% racing line, just take your time and follow it as much as you can.
- Earning 100 drafting points in one go is a bit tricky. Here again, take your time and follow an opponent, staying as close as possible. Keep at it and you will get.
