How to unlock the Assistance is Futile achievement in DiRT 3 - Definitive Guide

This can be achieved with any AI difficulty and damage off

After selecting your car for a race the game will load the service area, from this menu select Difficulty and Assists and select Advanced Settings at the bottom.
No turn all of the settings under Assists to off
ABS
Dynamic Racing Line
Stability Control
Auto Steer
Corner Braking
Throttle Management

To make this easier i suggest having the difficulty set to 1 and damage off, this will obviously be easier on the earlier events. Listen to your co-driver, make use of the mini map and dont forget you have 5 flashbacks to use.

Good luck.
Here's a video on the first Dirt Tour event to demonstrate

Thanks I appreciate all the tips. I was getting killed on the Rally runs. So I went to Head2Head & I was able to beat the 1st leg & won the achievement. I hope this helps someone else.

I just did it on the very first RallyX race. Pretty straightforward map and with the AI set to 1 it's very easy. .

I did it in the Brembo Blast - Lantosque Historic Run Monaco DLC in Season 1 with the Renault Alpine. Was much easier as the first Finnland race.

For this achievement, before the race, set the following options:

Difficulty: 1
Damage: Visual

Assists: (All should be off)
ABS: OFF
Racing Line: OFF
Stability Control: OFF
Auto Steer: OFF
Corner Braking: OFF
Trottle Management: OFF


Automatic transmission is fine, as is the full HUD. Using flashbacks is also fine. Now just run the race, and the achievement should unlock assuming you won.

Just before you start a race, in the service menu, go to "Difficulty and Assists". In this menu everything below the "Assists heading" needs to be set to "off". You can also put the difficulty down to 1 for the easiest time. Back out of that menu, start the race and go on to win to get the trophy. Remember you have your flashbacks too for when you mess up. You can also combine this easily with "The Real Thing" trophy and get them both knocked out in one race.

It will be easier to do in RALLYCROSS mode, because... in a circuit race there is no need to watch for turns, as in RALLY.

Just before the start of the race, go to DIFFICULTY AND ASSISTS , then ADVANCED SETTINGS , and set the settings:

• DIFFICULTY - does not matter
• DAMAGE - does not matter
• ABS - OFF
• DYNAMIC RACING LINE - OFF
• STABILITY CONTROL - OFF
• AUTO STEER - OFF
• CORNER BREAKING - OFF
• THROTTLE MANAGEMENT - OFF

Win with these settings and the achievement will unlock.

Can be done at the first race.

Before the race, go to “difficulty and assistance” / “additional options”, turn off all 6 aids and win the race.
