How to unlock the Check yourself achievement in Blur - Definitive Guide

This achievement has four parts:

1. Pick up 100 Stopwatch Power-Ups: should be easy enough, you'll get this as you progress through single player

2. Earn 5 lights in a checkpoint event without nitro
3. Earn 5 lights in a checkpoint event without stopwatches
For these previous two, you have to get very good at checkpoints. I would recommend coming back to the first City Slickers Checkpoint once you have unlocked a faster car. It is important to know that you have to earn the five lights for beating the gold time. You cannot get four primary lights + fan run/fan target or three primary lights, fan run, and fan target. I have tested this myself and it did not unlock

4. Nitro through every checkpoint in one Event: very easy, collect nitro as soon as you can and store them until you are about to pass a checkpoint, then use one of them. Rinse and repeat for all checkpoints

EDIT: Thanks to RumblyLizard for pointing out that if you do the event on easy difficulty, there is a time difference. On Easy, you start with 6 more seconds and each checkpoint is worth one more second than Normal

Just to comment on this, I've just done the achievement but I set it on easy. i'm not sure, but I think you get more time to do it in easy (maybe checkpoints give you more time?) but I tried on medium and easy, and it felt easier on the easy setting.

I got the earning the 5 lights in a checkpoint event with the Supra second try on easy, just make sure that on the left turn exiting the freeway you airbrake so you don't hit the stopwatch mid-turn

Not much to add, except i found no.3 (no stopwatches) easiest on mt. haruna (loose cannon checkpoint race) with the astra extreme, once you have unlocked the car. also quite a good track to earn the no. 4 of the above solution. did not want to write this in a comment, since not everybody reads these...

Tried this first, multiple times. Didn't work for me.

"first City Slickers Checkpoint" was much easier for me, just two tries. As you drive same lap 3 times it's easier to memorize where boost and clocks are.

City Slickers Checkpoint was much easier, especially with the "hidden stop watches in the middle of the road right after a hill" in Mt. Haruna. Especially the one just after checkpoint 11, eugh.
