How to unlock the Who Needs Assists? achievement in F1 2013 - Definitive Guide
Make sure the general difficulty is on the highest and not anything else, including custom, turn AI opponents off so you'll have the easiest time, and put it on 3 laps which is the least laps you can do. I did it in Canada cause it seemed to be the quickest lap overall and not too tricky corners.
After you finish you can just crash player 2 into the wall to end right away and not have to wait out the time limit. Plus this will be one race towards the 3 needed to do in split screen for the mode's only achievement.
PS: I'm unsure about this but proberly like the 3 race achievement one player MUST finish the race, both drivers crashing out won't count as a complete race and may void this cheevo. If someone would comfirm this I'll mention it properly here.
I managed to do this in split mode, Italian track, 3 Laps, chose difficulty - Legendary with Rules & Flags set to Corner Cutting Only ( it will became Custom ).
The game could disqualify you for a lot of reasons - You should reach the finish at the end of 3rd lap! Only with this condition I got that achievement.
For second player you can ride a little and wait 2 minutes until time will run out or try to ride straight into small obstacles at the end of the straight part of the track.
Theoretically this sounds like a troublesome trophy, but there is a nice little workaround. This will only work if you have a second controller. Setup a split screen race with just you, Player 2 and no AI. Make sure the race is set to 3 laps and no qualifying. For the race, leave Player 2 stationary on the grid; you can not lose, just casually complete the race at your own leisure and the trophy will pop at the end.
These are the assists which you should not be using in order to get this trophy:
Braking Assists – Off
ABS – Off
Traction Control – Off
Dynamic Racing Line – Off
Gearbox – Manual
Pit Assist - Off
Instead of turning them off one by one, just race under Legend Difficulty and in doing so it will turn off all of the assists.
The easiest way to get this is to go into multiplayer and split screen mode, in the settings menu turn all driver assists off.
In race settings menu you will need AI to be turned off so that it is just you and your second controller racing.
You will need to beat the second controller to get the achievement.
If you are playing on you own with 2 controllers once you have finished you will need to complete on lap on the second controller to finish the race.
