How to unlock the Head over Heels achievement in Forza Motorsport 5 - Definitive Guide

I rolled my car sideways a few times and didnt get this. Seems like you have to get airborne and do a flip in the air.

Here's how I did it:
Save up enough cash/tokens to get the Range Rover (77,000 cr).
EDIT : According to some of the comments, you can rent a Land Rover for free.

Some people say you can do this with a stock Range Rover and no tuning. If you don't care or can't afford upgrades, skip ahead to the next section.
[optional]
Buy the Race Suspension (adjustable)
Buy the Race Spoiler/wing (adjustable)
Buy as many engine upgrades as you can afford
Go to the main menu, Go to Tune/Upgrade
Press X to go to your Tune Car
Go to your Springs, Make all four bars max (Stiff and highest ride height)
Go to Aero and make your rear downforce 0/minimum
exit/apply/save/etc
OR
press "Select" (button with two squares) at the tuning screen, go to Load Tuning Setup, and search for my "flip range rover" tune. Also go download all my paint jobs and screenshots.
[/optional]

From main menu, go to Free Play.
Choose Sebring full circuit
Game Options, change max driveatars to 0
For driving assists, turn off ABS and set steering to simulation.
Start race.

Immediately turn around and go backwards. after one turn left you'll hit a huge straightaway. Floor it. Once you're near the end of the straight, hit your e-brake (press A) and turn hard to start sliding sideways. Hit the gas and turn your wheel so the tires are pointing "forward" (same direction that you're sliding). Try to hit the grass if you can.
This SHOULD get you flipping, but you might not get the achievement. Keep trying and you'll eventually turn your giant metal cube into a beautiful acrobat.

Xbox automatically saves a game clip for you when you pop this... After checking out mine, i had slid into the grass, when i was almost completely backwards, i hit the brakes. The Rover started rolling, hit the back bumper and launched into the clouds. Just uploaded my video to youtube. Posting it below.

Hope this helps!

Just wanted to say you might want to add that after hitting the e-brake you should initially turn hard to the right (towards the grass). When I first started doing this I was turning left and the car would simply slide sideways towards the end. Used rewind, turned hard right and got it on the first try.

You don't need a Range Rover, I popped this with a good ol car and a bunch of speed on Mount Panorama on the long straight after you descend the mountain. Right in the middle of that long stretch is a quick turn to the right, if you miss it as I did you should be able to go completely out of control and get airborne. Of note: the game clip it took was before the turn and didn't include the airtime.

I was struggling getting this one to pop, I first tried the Ford Raptor... recorded the roll multiple times, but didn't pop. Then tried an A-tuned GT-R, same thing. It wasn't until I used a Civic Si that it really got rolling well enough (and I believe flipped end over end) to pop this one.

I used a rented range rover too using your track and method. Definitely have to flip the car end to end as rolling it whether fully airborne or not didn't work for me. So I copied your video, got the car nearly backwards then slammed the brakes. Full flip and cheevo unlocked instantly.

Thumbs up!

I tried about 20 times using this method with no luck at all. I absolutely just couldn't get it to pop even though I had flipped my car (not rolled) numerous times. I changed the damage to simulation and tried it one more time and it popped. So if you are having trouble trying to pop this even if you think you met the requirement, change the damage to simulation and it should work. Just a tip.

Seems like hitting the grass is the key here. I stayed on the concrete and only slid. Tried it on the grass and flipped nearly instantly.

I accidently did this at the end of a race. Ferrari 355, swap to the larger engine, Flat out (250kmh+) *straight* through the chicanes at the end of the old Le Mans circuit trying to pass a faster car on the last lap by cutting corners. Wasn't prepared for the rollovers and then end over end that resulted but didn't care when the achievement popped.

I just used the default Range Rover on the Sebring. The easiest way to get it is to pull the stick the opposite way to the car's direction, that start the car to roll.

Just want to stop in and say this method only works in Free Play or Career Mode via League Select. I tried it during "Test Drive" (Press Y while upgrading your car) and no dice. Went to Free Play and unlocked first try with my own car, a stock Hummer H1.

Pretty sure the vehicle has to flip front to back instead of side to side flipping. As its called, "head over heels". Did a side to side flip with the Range Rover as shown in the above vids, didn't get it. Did it again going end over end a couple times, and it popped.

There is nothing buggy in this achievement. You just need to make sure that the car turns over onto its roof and locks in that state. This is really difficult, because contrary to the laws of physics, the game strives to return the car to its wheels from any intermediate position.

We choose any SUV and do it. It can even be stock. It is enough to accelerate above 100 km/h and dashingly wiggle your ass using the handbrake to catch on the grass (or even better, drive completely onto it). I succeeded on a stock RR at Sebring on about my fifth try. Before that, I was just tumbling there with all my heart, but it doesn’t count if the car ends up standing on its wheels.
