How to unlock the Launch Event achievement in DiRT Rally 2.0 - Definitive Guide


DLC details:

• This Achievement requires DLC in order to attempt and unlock.

• This Achievement can only be unlocked with the RX Supercars that are available in DiRT Rally 2.0 Season 4.

• Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi is available in DiRT Rally 2.0 Season 3.

• Both the track and cars are available as individual DLC items also.
Yas Marina Circuit is a tricky course with multiple switchback sections. Having good momentum through these sections is the key to a good laptime.


Some basic tips:

• Do this in Time Trial, dry conditions.

• Your car must be from the "RX Supercars 2019" Class.

• Begin your lap by taking the Joker route on the previous lap. This gives you a faster entry into Turn 1.

• Finish your lap by ignoring Turn 1's entry on the next lap. You'll gain half a second by refusing to brake.

• Avoid the orange kerbs at all costs. At best they'll slow you down, at worst you'll roll the car.

• Excessive sliding will slow you down. You should only need the handbrake for the 2 hairpins. With the right setup you won't need to handbrake the chicanes.

• If you know you're not going to hit the target laptime, take the Joker Lap so that you can set yourself up for another run.

• Achievement unlocks as soon as you cross the finish line, you don't need to end the Event.


I've also created a short video guide with footage of my run, the Tuning Setup I used and some additional tips:

Side-note, it also seems the Achievement unlocks regardless of if the lap is “clean” or not, so cutting a few turns should do the trick. For those that want to do it “legit” though, the video should still help regardless 👍🏻

Or, which is easier, create an event against AI's, cut corners - you'll only get a warning and make it in time.

The Time Trial method is for absolute pros with wheels, etc. You can't cut in there and don't get a penality.

Huge props for the solution for both a detailed guide and an excellent tuning setup, a big big upvote....

.... nonetheless my opinion is that the time is simply not doable with a controller. If someone has done that, huge congrats for sure because for 99% of people there is surely no way. So I had to resort to Alyselle's excellent comment. Make an AI event, put them on very easy so they stay out of your way. On the first lap drive legit to avoid disqualification on the second lap and take the joker for the optimal line to start said second lap. Cut between the signs at the start instead of doing the chicane. Drive hard but normally after that and don't brake to cross the finish line.

I had to use Alyselle's comment above in order to get this time. If you cut between the first and second signs at the start (second turn), you can easily cut 3 seconds off the lap time without performing a perfect driving lap legitimately, but this can only be done in a race against AI.

This is a great solution, still. I found your video and tuning guide to be expertly done, and is among the best I've seen for a video guide. Thanks for the time you put into it PJTierney, it helped me significantly.

I've made a video guide based on the comments of the other guide that's been posted. This should help you on how to get the achievement a little bit easier, hope this helps!

Time gotten in the video was a 38.016.

The guide doesn't have a voiceover but does have some text in the video.

This is a guide for an easier way to get this trophy.

First, go to custom tracks and pick Abu Dhabi, single race (at least 2 laps), dry conditions, AI difficulty set to 1.

Second, select your car (use a RX Supercars 2019). I used the Peugeot. Tune it for the track. I use GTR Technical - highly recommend for any time related trophy - all credit goes to that channel.


Third, proceed through course as normal. DO NOT CUT CORNERS OR INCUR ANY TIME PENALTIES. Use the joker lap at the end.

Fourth, when coming out of the joker lap and into the next lap, SKIP THE SECOND TURN AND CUT IT. Video below (note the video was done in time trial but after multiple attempts, I could not escape being penalized. It may be patched, I don't know but you can definitely do it and rules more relaxed when racing AI).


All credit goes to Von_ Blitzkreig for video.

Boom - done! May take a few tries but it is much easier this way then always coming up 0.400 - 1.000 second shy in time trials.

Happy hunting :)

Another way: instead of starting the race, choose Practice.
You can cut the corners as in the video without penalties added to the lap or invalidate the lap.

As of the current day (03/21/2020), you cannot cut on the track; the lap is not immediately counted. So only sweat and blood. I made a video with tips and settings for the car.

Before the finish line, do not slow down, fly through it at maximum speed, immediately after it the car will be destroyed, but this does not matter, if the right time is shown, the trophy will fall out.

There is a much easier way to get this trophy than just setting the right time in Time Trial.
To do this, you need to create a race on the Yas Matina Circuit in the Custom Championship using RX Supercar 2019 cars (car settings can be taken from the hint from Fuht ) for at least 3 laps and with minimal AI from the bots. Unlike the time trial in the custom championship, you can get 3 huge cuts, which will greatly simplify the task.
Drive the first lap without just cutting, try to get away from the bots as much as possible so that on the 2nd (fast lap) they don’t bother you and take the joker - this will give you the optimal trajectory for cutting in turn 1. At the end of your fast lap, don't brake for Turn 1, go straight, this will give you another half a second to save.
Cuts for example, 3 cuts are not necessary - you can go through that link quickly without it.
