How to unlock the Quick as a flash achievement in F1 2018 - Definitive Guide
Mine seems pretty good based on the starts I make in Multiplayer but I’m not quite at .16 seconds yet.
One of the trickier trophies in the game. This can be done on a race start in any game mode, as long as you set the race starts to manual. At the start hold down the button and hold the throttle, then when the starting lights go off release the button as fast as you can. The required reaction time of 0.16 seconds is pretty tight so this might take quite a few tries. I advise to set all your starts to manual while going for other trophies (e.g. during career) and try to get this naturally. If by the end of the game you still haven’t managed you can always start a single Grand Prix from the main menu and keep restarting the race until you get this.
You can only get it with the blessing of the power of randomness. I stupidly counted to 3 after the 5th red light and released the clutch. Lots of restarts and someday you will get lucky. The main thing in the settings is not to forget to set manual start.
