How to unlock the Good Spot achievement in Dirt Rally - Definitive Guide

This achievement is for Rallycross - the Joker is the "extra" bit of the track that everyone has to drive along once in a race.
It's random as to whether this will be said, but before some events (for example if you're starting as the furthest left on Lydden Hill), the voiceover will say "you're in the optimal position to take the Joker immediately".
When this happens, if you can take the Joker and win the race the achievement should pop.
So far, I've only had this be said once to me in multiple races, even when I've started in the same place on the grid - and I lost that race - so there seems to be some element of randomness as to whether you will even get the prompt.

I got this when he didn't say anything. Started out on the far left on Lydden junior during one of the heats or semi final, and took a chance on the joker from the get go and managed to win. Used the upgraded '60 classic Mini from preorder.

Doesn't appear to unlock in PvP. I have only won one PvP race when taking the joker when advised mind, could just be a bug.

I got this without the spotter telling me to go for the Joker as well. Lydden Hill in Minis, took the Joker on the first lap as I started on the outside, won the race, cheevo unlocked. Spotter never spoke!

You must finish 4th place in the first heat, for second heat spotter recommends you to take the joker on the first lap.
I got this on custom championships.
try till spotter recommends you.
good luck.

Other solutions are ok but you can also get it random durring career without an effort. For me pilot recomended it just on start of 1st qual heat when I was closest to Joker lap entry on Lydden Hill Clubman circuit.

n rallycross events, your spotter will call out information like when the A.I. are completing a joker lap, when you are due for a joker lap, or when you have been penalised. In order to unlock this trophy, your spotter needs to recommend that you take the joker lap on the very first lap. Your spotter will only recommend this if you are positioned on the outside of the corner at the start of the race or further back on the grid. 

Depending upon how well you qualify, it may take a few races for your spotter to actually recommend that you take the joker on the first lap. When they do recommend it, make sure that you follow their instruction, and complete the joker lap on your first lap. After you have done that, you need to win the race to unlock this trophy. If you cannot win on your first attempt, you can restart. Although you won’t be prompted with the spotter’s joker recommendation again, taking the joker lap on the first lap and winning the event will still unlock the trophy.

A spotter gives this advice on a track in England.

If you restart the race, the spotter will no longer give such a recommendation; if everything went badly in the race, then click “save and exit”, and then continue this championship again from the same place

at the very beginning of the race at the start you should hear this recommendation, it is given if your position is closest to the Joker’s circle, if you fail to take first place, try again. You will not hear the recommendation, but they will give you a trophy if you win

Punisher's hint is not entirely correct. The spotter gives this advice if you are on the side of the track that is closer to the joker, and the turn to the joker is at the beginning of the track (but not in all cases you will hear this advice). Yes, there is a track in England where the joker goes to the first corner of the track on the left side of the road. If you qualify 4th in the heats or lower in the finals, there is a good chance you will get a spotter's call.
