How to unlock the So You Think You're Fast? achievement in F1 2016 - Definitive Guide

This Achievement seems harder than it is...
Here is How i got it.

Start a Quickrace at Monaco as Lewis Hamilton.
Select No Qualifying.
Weather : light Rain.
AI Difficultiy : Ultimate

Select any helps you need and start the Session.

Try to be first at the first corner and you should not have any problems to win the race.
The AI doesnt try to overtake so you could be as slow as you want.
But dont be to slow at start/finish because thats the only point where they could overtake.
Hit the rewind button as often as you wish it doesnt affect the achievement.
Best thing is you dont have to Pit because of Rain.

This should take about 30 minutes.

Happy hunting.wave

This is the way I basically did it, flashback whenever anyone passes you.
So long as you keep to the right on the start/finish straight even if they get in front of you then you can squeeze them out into the first again

No, as it's a wet race you aren't forced to pit, just block for the whole 20 laps

This worked perfectly. The only way the AI tried passing me was into the swimming pool section but couldn't hang it around the outside and crashed.

Nice strategy except I did it in heavy rain, I really expected to struggle with the AI though but in the end I beat Rosberg by 12 seconds and I'm not a quick driver

This will probably be the hardest achievement for some players, It could be that building a dominate team in career mode would give players enough advantage to lower the difficulty
in real terms.

One method is a Quick Race at Austria as Lewis Hamilton, who will start on pole if you select no qualifying. In the race use a one stop strategy if you are struggling for pace so they don't get free air in front of you and use flashbacks to help defend as your tires start to wear later in the race.

If you are strugging in the Dry nengun suggests trying Canada in heavy rain with a top speed setup to take advantage of the long straights and use flashbacks to retry any mistakes in the corners

Notes

Using unlimited flashbacks and game saves do NOT disable the achievement as I did both

I done it with a Full Rain into Light Rain scenario at Austria, the AI were being quite slow compared to a few other tracks I tried. I somehow managed to get away with switching to Inters halfway through the race as the rain lightened up and won despite most of the frontrunners remaining on Wets the whole time, I regained 1st on the last lap.

I used the default Balanced setup with zero edits if that matters, also playing as Lewis.

Canada in heavy rain did it for me make sure to pick the default higher top speed setup (not highest top speed), and pick lewis.

You should win easily because of the long straights and fast s-turn combinations. Make good use of your flashbacks if you screw up. Turn ABS and traction control on to gain an advantage.

I would get this easily, but the AI pits at different times.

There are plenty of ways to do this, but by far the easiest of ways (especially for the inexperienced) is to make the weather light rain, as doing it this way you don't need to bother with fuel stops and DRS (Drag Reduction System) is disabled. The best track for this is Monaco as it is so narrow, thus there is only the home straight + the tunnel where other cars can overtake you on, but if you get good traction out the corners, you should be fine for the race.

Pick Mercedes as you'll be placed on the front row and thus start off with everyone behind you. Luckily, you can still use assists for this trophy; only the enemy AI difficulty has to be a certain setting. With it being Monaco and in the wet, it's highly recommended to at least turn damage off.

For the easiest way to get this trophy, see the following tip from mwtbh:

 

I was having a bit of trouble until I did this:

Monaco in light rain. Firstly, you don't have to worry about DRS (it's disabled) and secondly, you don't have to worry about being overtaken during pit stops (there aren't any). Doing it this way means you don't have to worry about being fast, just concentrate on being defensive.

As long as you can handle the conditions and get a good exit on the last corner (the pit straight was the only place the AI really tried to overtake me), it shouldn't be too much trouble.

For those who find it difficult, you can set rain in the settings, any intensity and 25% of the laps in Monaco, where it will be difficult for mobs to overtake you, take a Mercedes, you will start right away on pole, and just don’t let anyone pass, which is easy to do, thanks to the weather, you won’t You will be required to make a pit stop, plus you have saves and flashbacks. (thanks for the tip Midland-x)

Plus, you can force the safety car onto the track, creating an accident. This will help maintain the lead.
