How to unlock the Down to the Wire achievement in Forza Motorsport 5 - Definitive Guide
Can do this in private vs bots. Set up a private match, set bots to full. Make sure your not leading when you cross the line to start the last lap then win. POP.

Thumbs up, I can confirm that you can do this on a 1 lap race aswell on top gear west. make sure the bot in second crosses the line before you when you launch at the start of the race. Overtake on the first corner and win the race... Achievement unlocks as you finish the race.

This literally can be done in less than 10 seconds. Head to Multiplayer and select Private Lobby. Once there, select these race options:
Game type: DRAG (very imporant)
Track: 2-Car 1/4 Mile Drag
Max Players: 2 (you & AI)
Max Drivatars: 1
Drivatar difficulty: NEW RACER
Force Off TCS: OFF
Easiest Shifting Allowed: AUTOMATIC
Number of Heats: This doesnt really matter but I would put more than 1 considering it might take a few tries and you dont wanna wait forever between races.
Car Class: Doesnt matter
Drive Type: ANY
Now, at the starting countdown, roll your Right Stick around so that to view your vehicle from the side angle where the opposing car will be in the background - keep it that way throughout the race. One the race begins, do not floor it and let the opposing car take the slight advantage of a half car length (you'll easily be able to see it with the side view - you'll wanna see the other car's front tire past your front bumper; that's a safe enough distance). Once the race reaches 50% - it will be displayed in the lower left corner - floor it. you will win by half a second. Voila.
Should be done within 9 to 12 seconds depending on your car class. I used an R class.

Great find. Should be at top. I fell behind a whole second and won so this is almost a guarantee as long as you let the CPU get a better jump

We create a free game, Indianapolis Oval track.
We bet one bot against ourselves. Laps: 3.
We do not overtake the enemy for the first 2 full circles, but stay close to him. On the last lap - overtake.
