How to unlock the Monster Energy Supercharge Award achievement in Dirt Rally - Definitive Guide
You need to be the first into the first corner of the circuit in a final stage of any FIA World Rallycross Championship. This is very easy to do if you make sure you do the following:
- Have Automatic Launch Control set to "off". You can beat the other cars off the line by using the handbrake and letting it go right before "Go!".
- Have TCS set to "off", especially if you're racing in the RallyX Supercars discipline. After launching properly, upshift to 2nd gear and you're out of the pack.
- You need to make sure you are in the first row of the starting grid. That's accomplished by doing good in the Semi-final. I'm not sure unfortunately what position you need to be in the semi-finals to start from the front row in the finals, so make sure you finish first there.
- Have a fully upgraded car. The championship is harder than normal RallyX and racing with a non fully upgraded car will simply make this achievement impossible to get.
If you've done all of the above, but still someone beats you to the corner, simply restart the race. If you've done it properly, the DVR will record a clip too before giving you the achievement.
Couple of tips:
- Put on semi-manual gears and remove launch control. With the handbrake you can get a jump on your opponents.
- Remove traction control. With traction control on, you will get out-accelerated EVERY time.
Finally, this is FAR easier on the second event in Sweden. In qualifying, jump the start at 2 seconds on the countdown. You'll be made to do an extra joker lap, but on this track the joker is barely any slower (I've won races doing the joker three times in a four lap race).
Then in the final, using the above tips, launch yourself straight over the first corner (the cars will brake slightly). Wait for your achievement and then restart the race.
The FIA World Rallycross Championship becomes available to enter once you have reached the ‘Professional’ level in the standard Rallycross championships. Once you’ve entered it, you will have the opportunity to unlock this trophy in the final round of each of the 3 events.
In order to be first into the first turn, you should ensure that you qualify first for all of the heat events and for the semi-final. This will put you into the best position to enter the corner first: on the front row and on the inside line for the first corner. To give yourself the best possible start, you should make sure you are using your most upgraded vehicle. You should also make sure you have Automatic Launch Control set to ‘Off’ in your preferences, as having it on will limit how fast your starts are.
With all this in mind, it’s just a matter of keeping your car’s revs around 4-5000 before the start and then releasing the handbrake as close to the start as you can. With a little luck, you will manage a faster start than the A.I. and beat them into the first corner. If you are successful, the trophy will unlock shortly after the first turn. If you are unsuccessful, you are free to restart the event as many times as you wish until you unlock it.
