How to unlock the rAd-hoc achievement in DiRT 4 - Definitive Guide

In addition to Anima Pura solution...
I got this during career during a night stage. The lights were flickering and following co-drivers direction you can stop the car, press up on the d-pad and fix the lights. This incurs a 10 second penalty, so if you are quick and playing on an easier difficulty it should be easy enough to unlock (depending on headlight failure while racing).
I restarted this stage and the lights were flickering again so it could be built into the event on career mode. (It's about mid-way through the rally career mode).

This achievement makes no sense. I've jus5 done a stage where I got a flat, repaired it, had a difference of 1 min 5 seconds between me and the car behind as I'm closing in on the finish yet when I finish I'm somehow 5 seconds slower than 1st place despite the only penalty I got being the 30 sec one for repairing my flat.

@Wardieshire The time was probably their time for the section, rather than the difference between them and you. The in race scoreboard switches between section and overall times.

This one is a pain in the buns. I got it tonight on a stage I thought I was doing poorly on. She said check the rear tire so I stopped to fix it. When I was done I realized I had about 1.5 sectors to go and still had a 2 second lead. Phew

The race where the light flickering happened even after restarts for me was Triple Crown Rally Sweden 6/8.
Either way I repaired quite a few times during triple crown and still finished first on multiple different races, so don't go out of your way to do this until you've done Triple crown.

FWIW the headlight flicker repair opportunity came for me on one of the Wales stages in the Global Rally Series (final event of the discipline).

I just ran into some fences and a tree to get the 20 second radiator refill repair. Still easily won against competent AI on a 4 minute track.

If you miss this the first time around like I did, it happened again in the second to last series in Rally mode. So it seems like you'll get multiple chances at this before you're done with Rally career.

I don't want to give a negative vote because this solution obviously works for many people but not for me. I'm about to complete the Global rally series and I never got the option to repair my lights, even if I tried to destroy them partially or completely.
Edit: I finally got it in Historic Intercontinental Rally (under Historic Rally) The oppontents were much slower here than in regular rally so I could repair my radiator for +20 seconds and still win easily.

Just did this following the other solutions - Sweden - Snaversrus Skog - Backlopp (Ner) in the dark hoping for the flickering headlights as usual when I noticed after the starting countdown that the symbol for damage came up so I stopped & used the radiator fix which adds 20 seconds to your time. I failed by about 2 seconds & came in 3rd but it allows you to restart and try again. It may be this track or maybe random but if you look out for this on any stage you should do it like what I did !!! GOOD LUCK

This is easily done during longer night stages. If you damage your headlights and they start going on and off you can stop and perform the repairs in only 10 seconds.

It is possible to do this through career, but this is best done through boosting.

Have your partner stand at the start while you purposely drive into the sides or barriers trying to gain a puncture. Once you’ve gained a puncture, you will want to stop your car on the stage and press the button on your D-Pad. Press to confirm the repairs.

Now you'll want to win the event with your partner purposely driving slowly.

You need to crash the car, fix it during the race and win, easy to do with a friend in a closed game

If anyone doesn’t understand) - you need to stop, press on the cross and make repairs.

No need to mess around. Go through the career and look at the enemy's lag. When there is a difference of 40 seconds, we begin to collect all the obstacles along the road that we come across until the keys light up. Fix it, finish it. The main thing is not to hit too hard at high speed, otherwise it will be fatal and disqualify.
On snowy stages, sometimes opponents are a minute and a half behind

It can be done without any problems without friends. We choose freeplay, minimum difficulty, the track is better than the Spanish one, it’s easier to hit the car against fences, the duration and complexity of the configuration are maximum. Then we start, collect fences, as soon as the repair icon appears, we repair something, then we make up for the penalty by simply passing the section normally and win.
