Update: The April game update makes all of the initial 200 cars that launched with Forza 5 available as rental cars so it's no longer necessary to use the "rental glitch" if you don't own the car that is required for this achievement.

This achievement is unlocked once these 3 achievements are completed:

The Spring Break achievement in Forza Motorsport 5 worth 0 pointsDrive a 1962 Ferrari GTO on Sebring.

Go to Free Play
Car: 1962 Ferrari GTO
Track: Sebring - Full Circuit
Rounds: 1

If you don't own the car select "Rent Car" and choose any car (the Ferrari isn't available there). Then select "Buy Car" and choose the Ferrari. Before selecting a design press "B" until you're back at the main menu of Free Play. The Ferrari will be your car now.
Finish the race to unlock the achievement.

The Red and Bleu! achievement in Forza Motorsport 5 worth 0 pointsDrive a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa on Le Mans.

Go to Free Play
Car: 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa
Track: Le Mans - Old Mulsanne Circuit
Rounds: 1

If you don't own the car select "Rent Car" and choose any car (the Ferrari isn't available there). Then select "Buy Car" and choose the Ferrari. Before selecting a design press "B" until you're back at the main menu of Free Play. The Ferrari will be your car now.
Finish the race to unlock the achievement.

Drivatar Difficulty: Easy

If you don't own the car select "Rent Car" and choose any car (the Shelby isn't available there). Then select "Buy Car" and choose the Shelby. Before selecting a design press "B" until you're back at the main menu of Free Play. The Shelby will be your car now.
Finish the race in front of the Ferraris to unlock the achievement.

None of these achievements popped for me and I did all of them. No badges or titles either. I'm seeing multiple reports that these achievements can be glitchy and to wait a few hours/days for them to pop. I will post a response or a solution based on what happens. 3/17/2020

thanks to ChunkehMunkeh on x360a!

You need to select a "rental car" first, before the "buy car" swap will work.

By Protium on 01 Dec 2013 07:51

doesnt matter mate, you posted it on here so have a thumbs up... im happy as justs aved a ridiclous amount of credits on all these achievements.. i bet Turn 10- wont be happy as they seem to be really pushing microtransactions this time around.

Awesome Guide thanks!

The glitch dont work since last update..

By Lord Juancho on 10 Jan 2014 14:49

I disagree with the above poster Ju4nch0PR. This method still works as of 1-10-14 even after the latest patch. I was able to obtain it within 15 minutes of using Dexter x360a's method.

By PhantomSiren on 10 Jan 2014 23:45

Thanks! You saved me a few million credits :D

By sniffles x on 12 Jan 2014 17:33

I disagree with the above poster Eskobar M92. This method still works today 2-16-14. So it's not patched.

Thank you Dexter XBA for this guide :-) .

I will try it again then.

By StarshadeFPS on 18 Feb 2014 11:00

Yeah I forgot to rent a car i went straight to buy.

By StarshadeFPS on 18 Feb 2014 11:05

Worked perfect.

By JVPSHARK on 24 Mar 2014 00:07

nice solution but i didnt get the achievment. i have all three a hivments for this one. i finished in front of a ferrai, nothing.

By elKazaam on 21 Aug 2014 18:11

@elKazaam: I've just looked at your profile and the achievement completion percentage is at 100% (but still locked). This is a known achievement bug on Xbox One. Just wait a few hours/days and the achievement should unlock on its own :)

By Dexter XBA on 21 Aug 2014 18:15

it poped up a few secons ago after i startet forza again, thx.

By elKazaam on 21 Aug 2014 21:31

Nice solution +1

By Apocalypse Kane on 07 Jun 2015 12:08

Is this glitchy for anyone? I got the three 0GP achievements yesterday and this didn't pop. Any suggestions?

By GymBeanNZ on 16 Apr 2017 23:25

I completed the 3 achievements of 0G and the achievement didn’t pop. However, it did unlock right after restarting Forza. Thanks for the guide!

By ImprovedPhoenix on 18 Mar 2020 14:57

05/17/20 and 100 % ok

By wereszko on 17 May 2020 05:00

This achievement doesn't pop in my game, even though I have all the other 3 achievements needed for it. I got all of them first try. I tried restarting the game, restarting my console, nothing works.

By Boring182 on 28 Apr 2021 08:08

Not working for me too.
I get the 3 other achievements one after the other, and this one not poped.
Restarted game, console. Swithed profiles, erased save game, played other events, nothing

By Shuny Violinist on 27 Aug 2022 00:31

Didn’t unlock as of 10/15/22

By Martini4Trump on 15 Oct 2022 08:53

This not gonna happen. The achievement is buggy as well. As the second one - Triple Crown

By Katoyama9 on 26 Dec 2022 10:10

Just to counter the above comments, this worked fine for me on 3/17/23. I had to quit out of FM5 (close the game) and then load back it in. It popped after I got back to the main menu.

By Danny Bizz on 18 Mar 2023 02:36

Didn't unlock 14/07/2023... I got "snake bit" and "Red and Blue !" today, and "spring break" the 19/04/2023, but don't get this achievement...

By alcoolosse 149 on 14 Jul 2023 18:42

Hasn't unlocked for me either (30/09/2023). Tried loading the game up again, switching profiles, but nothing.

By Turrican80 on 30 Sep 2023 20:10

Hmm, I can't seem to get this one to unlock. I did all the races again and it still won't unlock. "Forza Triple Crown" unlocked alright for me.

By Disturbed Shawn on 19 Dec 2023 00:21

I found out about this from a youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ordU5X9bpwU) and modified it a litte (you don't have to select purchase, you can already press 'B' when the designs show up) but don't know who actually found it first.
