You have to beat 10 Rivals, friends or not. After every race you will be prompt if you would like to play again versus a Rival which is usually pretty close to my time. No one on my friends list are into racing games (sadly) so it would always bring up a random Live user which are usually LESS than 3 seconds (but usually 1 second less) from my best lap time. I'm not sure if this is the case if you do have friends that play this game or not so someone will have to verify this.
What I did in every race, while set to EASY, is do pretty poor. Good enough to beat the CPU racers, but poor enough so that I can easily be matched up with someone I can defeat without too much work. After every match, I accepted the suggested Rival, and defeat it with ease. After 10 Rivals, the achievement is yours.
* EDIT
As per Yreon all of the Rival Events in Race Central count except for the Monthly Rivals. You can even race against yourself!
Negative feedback? Please leave a comment so that I can write better/more simple solutions in the future.
Thank you and good luck!

Easy isn't necessary. Since the second go 'round it's just a ghost, you don't have to worry about the other players slowing you down.

The reason I set it to easy is for when you are doing the initial races against the CPU. It allows you for a lot more room for error and to drive slow when you're ahead of the pack. That way your second go 'round you blow your lap time away. So it's more for your first go 'round then the second.

The fastest way to beat ten rivals is to use rival board in Race Central.
1.Pick the color wrist band and the event you want to race.
2. The rival (friend from firend's list) closest to you will be auto selected, press "X" ( I believe) to go to the rival list and pick a rival the is far enough behind your time that you feel comfortable challening (the futher behind the easier).
3. Start the race and beat time, then go back to step 1. and select another race.
*The race counts even if the bounty is set at zero. Zero bounties are common if you slect a rival that is a more than a few seconds slower than your time.
** If you dont have many friends that play the game then you want to use RB on the leaderboard list and select the "Near Me" option and then scroll down far enough to find a rival that has a time you feel you can beat. With the "Near Me" option you will have scroll a long way down before you see a significant difference in the times.
Credit should also go to KP ScuzzyBunny for helping with this solution.

It has to be different events. I beat 10 rivals on my friend list across 2 events now I need to do 10 different events.

It should also be mentioned that if you race "Circuit Races" your rival will always have an unfair advantage at the first round from the start, since he/she is at full speed at the start/finish line as you start the race. You can simple back up a few feet before starting the race to gain full speed to compensate for that, or otherwise you will always have to drive two rounds. Or you could just simply pick "Point to Point" races to challenge your rivals.

After several weeks of being broken I was able to get this today. It seems the rivals wins in rally do count for this so do them first if you have the dlc.

if you have this saved for last, go to race central, choose rivals, and choose street races. start with the C class race, then do the 5 B classes. keep the driving line on full and follow it as best you can, usually your rival ghosts will make a mistake here or there. the street races aren't usually very long, and the slower class races are easier to do "perfectly". once you win those 6 races, there are 11 A class races you can do. you should only need to win 4 of them (making 10 total) to earn the achievement.

Each time you complete a race or event, you will given the option to then race the same track against a rival (either a friend or random on XBL.) Friends who have set a faster time will be displayed first, however if you don’t have any friends who have set faster times, you will usually be given a rival who is only a fraction of a second ahead of you making it easier to beat their time. You can usually tell how difficult it will be by the number of credits offered as a reward, the higher the credit reward, the harder it will be.
If you are given a rival that you don’t think you can beat, you can always access the rivals menu from the Horizon Festival loop and manually select a rival you believe you can beat.
An easy method to complete this is by purposely setting a slow time on a lap then finding a rival who is only a fraction of a second faster than you and beating their time. Once you have beaten a rival on 10 different events the achievement will unlock.
TIP: You don’t need to beat the same rival over 10 events, but you need to beat a rival time on 10 different events.
NOTE: The monthly rival events you can access from the rival menu do not count towards this achievement. (DEG23 credits SatNiteEdurado for this info.)
NOTE: Unlike most other online achievements that require XBL, this does not require a Gold account to complete. (DEG23 credits TwistedFate for confirming this.)
