EDIT: This achievement has been discontinued since August 2019 when the servers shut down. Sorry.
Original Guide:
If you can, use seven friends to boost this. Otherwise...
You can create and use your own race courses when hosting online events. Make an unusual one that greatly rewards you for using the best shortcuts, and keep racing on that course. Your familiarity should give you the edge.
Also, to be pedantic, you don't need to win the first 8-player online race you attempt. You just need to win one.
Capt Poopey adds some useful advice:
"If you're organising a boosting session for this achievement, make sure that all boosters have downloaded the massive 1GB update beforehand otherwise those without it cannot join the host's freeburn session. Mainly applies to gamers who have just started on the game. Takes about an hour to do all 8 races, and if people don't have headsets or don't want to talk just message everyone in the party that the races will be done in alphabetical order to avoid the wrong person getting the win or the same person getting it twice."

If you're in a boosting session, it doesn't actually take an hour to do all 8 races - there's a race that's just one mile long.

This is a little tricky seeing as if your not very good at races this may take some practice, you need 7 people for this event. If your playing with random people ask the host if they mind setting up a race so you can try and win first place, and just race until you win. Or play with friends, and complete the race with them allowing you to win. The achievement will pop up after the event has finished.
