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.

Race #1

Go to Free Play
Car: 2013 McLaren P1 (R Class)
Track: Silverstone - Grand Prix Circuit
Rounds: 1
Drivatar difficulty easy.

If you don't own the 2013 McLaren P1 you can rent it under "Rent Car". Make sure to use the regular edition not the limited edition version.

Race #2

Go to Free Play
Car: 2010 Aston Martin One-77 (A Class)
Track: Silverstone - Grand Prix Circuit
Rounds: 1
Drivatar difficulty easy.

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

I cannot get this solution to work. Every time I try to do this it keeps putting me back in my own car.

Correction/update on instructions: to get the car swap to work I needed (i) go in and select a "rental" car, then (ii) go into the "buy car" menu and followed the instructions above.

Nice find Dexter.
@Protium, he did say "and choose any car". :P

you posted it on here so have a thumbs up... im happy as just saved 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.

oh it needs to be the basic mclaren, not the limited edition version (i won that) i tried it first and didnt unlock, but unlocked when i rented the p1

Great guide ... however the McLaren P1 is one of the cars available for rent, so you don't need to do the buy/back out trick for that part of the achievement.

Thanks pompeyladbfp and Durera for the info. I updated the guide!

This glitch still works. You failed to mention tho', when setting up the race, one needs to select the appropriate car class in "game options" for it to work. R class for the P1 and A class for the One-77. Needs update!

@HAMbidextrous1 The default option for free play is any race class, isn't it? I'll add it though.

By Dexter XBA on 06 Jan 2014 12:59

Very important that when you are choosing the Free Play Options that you 'manually' select the class. ie Car Class A and Car Class R respectively.

FYI, dont used the LCE P1

By PINKE1842 on 22 Mar 2014 15:11

@PINKE1842: That's already explained in the guide!

By Dexter XBA on 22 Mar 2014 15:16

I can't get this chevo to pop. I've used the P1, so I'm 50% there but I can't get the Aston to register. I've tried what's been said, free play, Class A and I've won the race a few times but nothing. Any ideas??

By AARxLO85TERx on 24 Jun 2014 08:11

Confirmed that works perfect with the lastest past, rent car, win and get an easy achievement.

By Abaddon D on 21 Oct 2014 22:12

Worked a treat. I also turned Collison Mode to Always Off. That way I didn't have to care about hitting the other cars and I got "Perfect Pass" everytime I drove through them +1

By FoolsAndKings on 20 Jan 2015 15:36

28.06.2000 is perfect thkns

For me the catch was to select the Grand Prix track. Tried with the National Circuit and it didn't work, then searched for the tips here and that was the difference.

Picking car class didn't matter at all. Mine was always "Any".
