How to unlock the Senna-esque achievement in F1 2011 - Definitive Guide

I managed to do this while doing the Lewis Hamilton achievement. I started in 5th and just managed to take 1st place on the 3rd corner. You can do this in Grand Prix mode. Set it to 1 lap, heavy rain and easy. As soon as you take 1st plce the achievement will pop. Hope this helps.

You set it too heavy rain? Not sure what else could be wrong to be honest.

I unlocked it. It wasn't a glitch, but an error in the translation of the game in portuguese. Heavy rain in portuguese means "chuva forte", so I was always selecting this option. Well, just for curiosity, I tried to put it in "chuva fraca", that means Light rain and I noticed that it was raining stronger than the another option. With my Mercedes I started in 7th, took the lead in the first corner and the achievement popped.

Agreed I did this on Australia as Felippe Massa in Grand Prix mode. He tends to start the GP races around 5th I think for Aus I started sixth. Just make sure the AI is on easy and you should have no trouble passing everyone.

You can actually pass them in the first corner, I started at 6th and just cut through the middle of the pack.

For me I choose Australia and massa who started fifth on the grid. And difficulty set to easy. And even before the first corner I was first and achievement unlocked.

Just got it by accident. Very easy actually.

I managed to get it at the start of Montreal. I just cut straight through the first turn, overtaking everybody and even though I got disqualified, the achievement poped right away.

It's a cheap way to get it, didn't know you could do it that way but it makes an easy 20g.

Start up a race through the Grand Prix option on the main menu. Choose a fast car such as Red Bull. In the options, change the weather to heavy rain. Choose to race on Monza. Now start the race (you might start 4th, 5th or 6th) so if you start 4th back out to the main menu and try again. Otherwise, get to the first chicane and you'll easily get pass everyone in front of you. Provided you don't then lose the position as you exit, you'll earn the trophy before the race even finishes.

Set up a Grand Prix at Monza and set the race distance to one lap, with the weather set to heavy rain. Also, make sure to set rules and flags to reduced and select race only in the race distance settings.Select a Ferrari driver, as your chances to start in 5th or lower are considerably higher than with a Red Bull or McLaren driver - in any case, your place on the grid is randomized, so there is a chance that you have to set up the Grand Prix again in order to start from 5th or lower.

As soon as the race starts, use up all of your KERS, making sure to overtake all of the cars before the race leader turns into the first corner and drive straight through the chicane. You will get disqualified for cutting the chicane, but if you do it right you will get the achievement, since the DSQ triggers after you have passed the race leader for first place.

If the achievement does not pop shortly after you get disqualified, simply retry.

Note: The title of this achievement is a homage to Ayrton Senna's first lap at the 1993 European Grand Prix at Donington, considered by many to be the greatest single lap in F1 history as Senna, starting from 4th place and falling back to 5th behind Schumacher right after the start, managed to overtake 4 cars for the lead in heavy rain within 1 minute.
