DiRT 3

You unlock this achievement at the end of your first season in the DiRT Tour, after doing all the Gymkhana Academy Tutorials.

It is unmissable to get as you progress through the tour mode, as you have to get a podium finish in order to unlock season 2.

This shouldn't really need a guide, but in the final Gymkhana event of Season 1, just get 1st, 2nd or 3rd. For this Achievement and you're good :).

It is alarming that at the time I write this 35% of the people who've tried this game on this site have NOT completed this, meaning they have not progressed past the 1st season of the game.

"Gymkhana" is not that hard and can actually be not only entertaining to participate in but will make you a better driver in the races as well.

Do the tutorials and stop raging when you fail to get Platinum in every event. This is new for you so figure out the stuff you need to do.

Remember that most of the events in Gymkhana require you to put your car into spins and drifts so you might want to take some of the driving aids off, as they are designed to stop you from losing the back end or spinning out.

Stick with the events until you've figured out how all the Gymnkhana stuff works and then have a go at the final. All you have to do is string a few tricks together... and even if you do this clumsily you should have no trouble taking first place.

Don't freak out if you dint your car. Keep going. You'll get it and you've unlocked the next season and more fun races.

Don't hate Gymnkhana. Getting good at Gymkhana will make you a better driver on the track. It can be fun so embrace it and enjoy it rather than maunging that it has no place in the game or you're just gonna have a miserable time.

Hope that's a little helpful for some of you.
