How to unlock the Tourist achievement in Blur - Definitive Guide

Complete ALL of the following:

Stop and get a good view of the fireworks in Brighton.
(I got this in Career, in the Fan Favorite section, Race #3. Use the H2 (Off-Road) and right after you pass the 'start' line stop on the incline of the hill facing the fireworks (make sure to NOT go on one of the 2 paths around it). Also, right after you get to the Ferris Wheel bear LEFT and sit on top of the hill for a few seconds, and this should pop up. Alternatively, you could just stop somewhere on the track and use the camera to get a clear view of the fireworks and that MAY work if the other method isn't working for you.)

Drive a smoking car through the oilfield in Amboy.
(@ Badlands Traverse track, car needs to be in Critical Health (one Red Bar, Black Smoke) you can use forward mines to damage yourself if you're not in critical yet. You may not even have to drive through the oilfield itself, but just drive near it on the race course for it to unlock.)

Nitro through the Amboy gas station.
(@ either Route 66 or Badlands Traverse tracks. Depending on which track you play on there is room to slow down before you get to the gast station so that you can line up the Nitro acceleration.)

Clean Nitro through the Hollywood sign in online Multiplayer.
(This is done on the map Hollywood Hills (Downtown Vista) - Go on the leftmost path between the letters - you will most likely have to fly off the edge, be sure to not hit anything while going through. - thanks to Qwerty P D4NG3R for confirming!)
*The road on the left side of this screenshot is where you need to go.*

Yes, you must nitro in-between the letters. There are two paths at that section - take the left path and nitro and it should pop up.

It's actually the first hill in the race, you can do it at the beginning right after the start.

You get the H2 (Off Road) Hummer once you open Drayke's one on one in SP, or at level 29 in MP. It is a class C car

Everytime I try to nitro through the left path it sends my car right off the edge.

@CG1E KALEL

That shouldn't matter as long as you used nitro before you entered the sign and didnt hit anything before you flew off the edge. I got it when I flew off the edge.

can you do these in a custom/private race online? or does it have to be public?

@Shadow XBL: I got it by sitting on the very top of the hill, where there was practically no view of the fireworks. The whole 'good view' thing in the description isn't exactly correct.

Yeah sorry I think later the solution was updated to say you need the H2 off road. Got that!

for the fireworks part of this achievement (only confusing part) take the off road h2 (2nd to last car on the list) must be level 22 to have this car.

drive to the top of the first hill and sit and it will happen pretty fast.

this hummer is RED, not to be confused by the other hummer that you unlock at a earlier time, i have confirmed that the other hummer does not work.

this is the map Brighton in the fan fanatic section of the single player campaign

For Part 2 (smoking car @ Amboy) I noticed that you need to be down to half a bar remaining (one bar, dark red). Your car always takes a full bar from forward mines and shocks you drop. You'll probably need to drive into a wall or two to take off half a bar.

What race is this? All the Amboy races I have unlocked are Route 66? (I don't yet have all Showdown tracks unlocked is it one of them). I tried to do it in a split screen two player race on the correct circuit... well I DID do it, half a red bar through the oil field but no pop/bleep? Does it have to be in single player or online multiplayer?

I just drove in to mines, I had 1 full, bright red bar of health left and it popped.

I had the single player completed on hard, but didn't yet get "smoking car through airfield".
So I started the race and there where mines laying around, plus 1 of my own. Halfway of the airfield I planted my 2nd mine and drove onto it, this still being in the first lap. -BLEEP-

Many people unlock this by driving a lap once you reach the orange - red in you health bar without getting wrecked.

If your having trouble getting this, fall back when you have Nitro and try it without the disturbance of any other players.

All 4 conditions can also be done online. It will count if you only play in public. It won't work in private matches.
