AI Difficulty: Amateur

B button out and set the Weather Setting to Clear and then hit continue.

Select Montreal as the track and start the Race

You will be starting in 4th but that’s actually perfect, because as soon as the race starts you want to cut the grass on the left hand side and make it into 1st place.

Don't be too greedy when you cut the grass or it will DQ you. As it's right at the start of the race you can restart if you need to.

This will trigger a Drive Thru penalty for illegal overtaking, so get round the lap and pit straight away, depending on your lap time you should exit the pits anywhere from 2nd onwards.

Now get into 1st and set some good times, don’t cut the track to avoid getting more penalties and keep pumping in the laps.

After a number of laps it will tell you to pit, but ignore this and just keep racing, after another couple of laps (lap 9 for me) you should find that as you pass the start/finish line you will pass cars in the pits, and then during the next lap pass the remaining cars to trigger the Blue Flag achievement.

Once you have that, it will pop straight away, pit and change tyres, when you come out it’s time to slow right down and let the driver in 2nd place overtake you.

Follow them round the track, you can slipstream them to get some time towards the following

F1 2011SlingshotThe Slingshot achievement in F1 2011 worth 22 pointsSpend a total of 10 minutes slipstreaming your opponents in any game mode


Keep lapping until you get into the final lap, pass the guy and move into first and finish then finish the race in first.

It will pop the achievements individually, so don’t worry when only one pops at first.

So there you go 1 race and 3 achievements

great video! helpe a bit, although i changed what i did to get the drive through...didnt cause the car in front to spin, but rather, cut the corner described in the video along with the next corner and that got me the DTP.
Also, i waited until the last of the 3 laps allowed to take the DTP in order to gain as much distance from 2nd place to get me back in good contention to easily slip back into the lead.

hope that helps anyone

To get a drive-through penalty, you will want to start cutting corners. This will result in several warnings before you are given an actual penalty. For this trophy, you need to get one, serve it, and go on to win the race. It's shouldn't cause you much trouble on the lower difficulties. You can probably do it in a 3 lap race, but 10% gives you more room for error, more time to get and serve the penalty while making sure you are still in first. You can also combine this with some other trophies in a longer race like "Blue Flag" and "Down to the Wire" to save yourself some time and make the trophy a bit easier.

Triggering a drive-through penalty only works when you set the rules and flags to realistic and set the race distance to 20% or more, as the game is programmed to only give time penalties under this distance.

Since the achievement requires you to win the race, I would advise you set up another Custom Grand Prix online session and invite a friend. Set up the race in any way you want, only make sure to select 20% racing distance and set rules and flags to realistic and damage to cosmetic, just to be sure.

As soon as the race gets underway, start cutting corners wherever you can. Simply cut every turn and in a matter of 1-2 laps maximum you should receive a drive-through penalty. Serve your penalty and let your friend give you 1st place, then simply finish the remainder of the Grand Prix.
