How to unlock the Pace Setter achievement in DiRT 3 - Definitive Guide

There are 9 Classes for the Rally events but you only need to Complete a Time Trial event in 8:
Pro
Open
S2000
90s
Group B
80s
70s
60s
Raid - Not needed

From the main menu select Singleplayer then Timetrial, Needs to be Discipline Rally.

Track preference doesnt matter but i suggest Finland - Mutanen as its one of the shortest and simplest tracks, now cycle trough each class completing the stage to set a time with each one.
Car choice is personal preference as it makes no difference which car you chose.
Any times set in Dirt Tour do not count.

Achievement will unlock at the end of the last stage


Having not experienced the glitch myself i cannot confirm the methods but possible fixes are:
Deleting your ghost saves from your HDD
Clearing your cache
Starting a new save (backup or move the old one)
Leave a comment to let me know if any work.

Thanks for the info Spilner.
Can I add that if you have some times saved from the Dirt Tour you still need to race the stages again in Time Trial mode for the achievement to unlock.

Seems im getting downvotes for something out of my control, glitches are CODEMASTERS fault, not mine, if it doesnt pop clear your cache and try a new save.

Yep, this glitched for me as well, and I know I raced all of the classes. I moved my game save and ghosts to a thumb drive, and started a new career. Got the cheevo, then I moved everything back to the HDD. Positive vote left.

Ive read alot that people are having trouble with this achievement and it not appearing after they have completed there time trials. I had this glitch! :(

I found a list on another achievement site which had a list of cars to use. I used this list and won the achievement first time.

PRO - Ford Fiesta RS rally car
OPEN - Ford Fiesta open class
S2000 - Abarth Grande Punto
90s - Toyota Celica GT- Four
GBOUP B - Ford RS200
80s - Renault 5 Turbo
70s - Opel Kadett GT/E 16v
60s - Renault Alpine A110

Like said before you do not have to complete the RAID section

The easiest and quickest track for me was Finland - Mutanen

Something wrong? It is quite simple, so let me assure you that I am doing it correctly.

I am trying a new track and I will get back to you.

The classes are as follows:

Rally:
Open
S2000
90s
Group B
80s
70s
60s
PRO
RAID* (This class is not needed for the achievement)

My suggestion is to select Single Player and then Time Trial from the main menu, and make sure to select Rally. Go class by class, on the track "Crocodile Point" in Kenya, as it is the shortest rally track available. Once you register a time trial time with each class, the achievement will unlock.

From the main menu go to "Single Player" and then "Time Trial". You need to complete a rally time trial in each of the classes. You can see the global times as you look through the tracks in order to see which ones are the fastest to complete. Tracks like "Crocodile Point" in Kenya and "Isojarvi" In Finland are good choices, or any others with similar completion times. Here are a list of the classes for reference:

Rally Classes:
S2000
90's
80's
70's
60's
Group B
Raid
Pro
Open
