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
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

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
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.
