How to unlock the Running the Show achievement in DiRT Showdown - Definitive Guide

I would recommend doing this with a dummy account, as it's faster than boosting. your not relying on others, and one of you won't have to hit +20 to recoup the deficit. just make sure the dummy account has Dirt registered on their tag (boot the game or quit an event) so you can send challenges to it)

Most of us have a spare silver account lying around on our console, and this can be used.

Make sure you are on each others friends list, connected to XBL.

On your main profile, load showdown tour, all star and pick the San Fran Hard Target event. pick the Robson Avenger car (the weakest).

Now start the event. The aim is to die as fast as possible. If you just idle, you die in around 30-40 seconds. On the menu, hit send challenge and send to your dummy account.

Once it says challenge sent, instead of pressing continue, Hit restart and repeat ten times.

Then, switch to your guest profile, load challenges, and you will see the ten challenges you have just been sent. load each one up, and quit straight away, losing the challenge and giving your main account +1. Repeat this ten times.

Load up your main profile, and the achievement should pop upon registering the +10 difference.

Nice guide dude. I used the Hard Target in the All Star cat but worked a charm.

good solution however with all the new security measures they are making it almost impossible to be able to play more than one account on an xbox. for my second account it made me add an alternate email to do the code which I did successfully then it demanded yet another email address.

Worked perfectly. Make sure if you're playing on the One you have to add your silver account through the 360 screen NOT the One screen. The 360 handles friends differently.

also the problem with this solution is that you have to reach the hard target event on san francisco, which is about the 7th on the first tier. You will have to spend quite a time to reach that because you have to unlock via trophies, 1st, 2nd or 3rd positions on the previous events

Actually the solution is good, since it does not matter about which vehicle or race of the tour you choose to send the challenge, the other player will be able to take it besides it has the car or not, or if unlocked the venue.
Good solution! Easiest and less time consuming

To dominate a friend, this requires you to go +10 in wins on challenge mode. Although this achievement requires a friend it can be done with a dummy account if preferred (as VIP Pass is not required here)

On completing an event in Showdown Tour, you are given the option to Challenge a friend to beat your score. A win can be achieved in two ways either by beating your friends score, or your friend failing to beat your score after three attempts.

The fastest way is to play through the Tour events and send a challenge to your partner on the results screen. Your partner can then load the challenge, and then immediately quit once it starts. The game will then ask you if you want to retry, quit again here and the game will count this as a loss for your partner, and a win for you.

Repeat ten times and you will be +10 and classed as having Dominated your friend. If you wish to return favour to your friend, you will then have to have them repeat this 20 times, as they will have to go from -10, through to 0 and then to +10 and Domination.

This method ensures that no time is wasted repeating finished events as it doesn't matter how far each player has progressed in the tour.

For this achievement, you'll need someone on your friends list who has played Dirt Showdown. It requires you getting a +10 streak against a single friend.

After every Showdown Tour event you'll notice you can send a challenge to someone on your friends list. The easiest and quickest way to do this achievement is to get your friend to keep sending you Hard Target event challenges with low time scores. These should be a complete breeze to beat. Don't worry if you run out of Hard Target events to send challenges for. You can repeat the same event over and over again sending a challenge each time.

You can view your Challenges from the Front End menu, which is also where you can view your current tally.

To obtain this trophy you have to have a +10 in your tally over your friend. From the start you have to beat 10 challenges in a row to get there. This trophy can easily be boosted. Keep in mind though that if your friend got 10 straight wins over you, you're gonna have to get 20 straight wins over him to net you your trophy after.

To unlock this achievement you have to gain a +10 in your tally over your friend. You will have to beat 10 challenges in a row against the same person. This can be easily obtained by having a friend send you very easy challenges to beat, but its always better to just dominate your friend beating his best scores.

This trophy is easy to obtain without a friend. If you have a second account (for example, created for the US-Store), then start the game from under it, drive ten races somehow and do not forget to send a Challenge to your main account after each race. From your main account in the Challenges menu, win all ten challenges and that’s it, you’ll get two trophies at once. Don't forget to send your own Challenge to your alternate account to receive another trophy.

Using the above method, it is easier to complete the " head2head/YokoHama " race located in the " showdown tour/spy+PRO ". 15-20 minutes and cherished Yours...can be done along the way " Balletic/Finish a race cleanly in the Stuntman event "

The trophy may not appear immediately after you log into your main account, if it does not appear, just turn off the console and wait about five minutes, then turn it on, go to Challenge and the trophy will ring
