How to unlock the Monster Energy Supercharge Award achievement in DiRT Rally 2.0 - Definitive Guide

The Monster Energy Super Charge Award is awarded to the first driver to reach the first corner in a Supercar Final of an event. You can unlock this while going for the RX World Championship in the Freeplay tab of the main menu, while the most convenient track to get it in is Canada, since the start/finish straight on that track is very long. With the AI difficulty set to "0", you'll reach the corner first every time, as the AI have the usual speed limiter.

The award is now awarded to the driver with the quickest reaction time off the line, not the first one to reach the first corner. Therefore, staying focused on the lights and letting go of the handbrake as fast as possible are of vital importance. Your chances are better if the AI is set to its lowest setting, whereas the track doesn't matter. Some tips:

- Have Automatic Launch Control set to "off". You can beat the other cars off the line by using the handbrake and letting go right before "Go!". The assist lets you go a few tenths after the lights go off, putting you at an obvious disadvantage.
- Have TCS set to "off". The Supercars are AWD anyway and we're talking about reaction time here, so it wouldn't matter either way.
- You need to make sure you are in the first row of the starting grid in the Final round of an Event. That's accomplished by doing good in the previous rounds, so make sure the Qualifiers and the Semi-finals go well for you.

If you think you've gotten the fastest start but the achievement still hasn't popped, just pause and restart. In the World RX Championship restarts are infinite, so you can keep going until it unlocks.

It popped almost right away for me. If it hasn't popped after 10-15 seconds, you should restart.

I was trying to find the actual definition of the award and that's what I found. I guess they changed it since last time. That would also explain the fact that it wouldn't unlock that easy. Thanks for the comment, I'll edit the solution accordingly.

Thanks for the update! :)
I haven't got the achievement yet - can you say when the achievement would pop up exactly? i.e. when is the time that for sure I didn't have the fastest start if the achievement hasn't popped up yet and I can safely restart the race?
Would it pop up after a few seconds after the start during the race already?

Hey. My advice for those who struggle with this achievement is to make a false start. Then on the next start (with a second joker lap penality) opponents are more likely to be more shy at starting fast... sorry for my english

Finally got this by accidentally slipping off the handbrake button. Oh well.

To confirm what others have said, it did pop instantly off the line for me.

I tried this about five times and didn't get it. Then I tried the false start tip from pikblonds and got it the first time. Popped right after the start. Thanks!

ok after about hundred attempts, apparently because I am too old and too slow, I got it now.
Did it on the Montalegre track and can now 100% confirm that it is indeed about the fastest reaction at the start. Achievement popped up almost instantly after the start (3 seconds max) and way, way before I even got close to the first corner.
It seems low AI rating doesn‘t help here - or I am that slow that even the slowest AI beats me most of the time :-)

[EDIT: this was actually the first comment for this solution, but I did a small edit now (only regarding language) and now it moved to the bottom - so if you are reading this then Anima Pura's comment, which now sits at the top, actually is a response to this comment, which originally stood at the top]

Are you sure about the first corner?
I see that for Dirt Rally 1.0 there was also such an achievement which said that you have to be first through the first corner, however the description of the achievement for 2.0 says "Got the fastest start" instead of something about the first corner.
Also in reality in RX events to my knowledge the award goes to the driver with the fastest reaction time at the start, not the one first through the first corner.

e.g. https://www.fia.com/news/world-rx-kristoffersson-claims-home...
"Kristoffersson, who also secured the Monster Energy Supercharge Award for having the fastest reaction time at the start of the final in his Volkswagen Polo R Supercar."
and also "This is the first Monster Energy Supercharge Award I have won since France last year so it’s been a while".
And with Kristoffersson winning almost all the races last year he also was first through the first corner in almost all the races, so he would have won most Monster Energy Supercharge Awards if it really was about the first corner, which apparently he did not.

Please note that the trophy is given precisely for the fastest start (best reaction), and not for who is the first to enter the first turn (as was the case in previous parts of the series).
Performed in the finals of the RX World Championship (Freeplay tab). The trophy drops a few seconds after the start. If it doesn't ring, do a restart. Please note that bots have a pretty good reaction.
