How to unlock the Slipstreamer achievement in Forza Motorsport 5 - Definitive Guide

Drafting (or slipstreaming) is positioning yourself behind a car in front of you, generally on a long straight, to reduce the effect of drag and increasing your speed due to their slipstream.

To see this effect in action, witness the magic of the Shake N' Bake technique used by Ricky Bobby in the movie Talladega Nights.

Anyway, this achievement only requires you to do 20 of these. On any long straightaway while you're not in the lead, position yourself directly behind the car in front as much as you can. It takes a few seconds of this to earn a 'perfect' drafting score but it isn't too difficult. This won't work on the slower cars during chase or pass events as you'll zoom by them too quickly (or ram into the back of them).

Good luck and enjoy racing! :)

From Ex6:
"I have a feeling you have to perfectly draft 20 different cars. I was grinding for this in the Indianapolis oval track, followed one car during 10 lap race and got tons of the Perfect Draft scores but no achievement, then in my last 3 lap race I got it. Checked status and it says 84 Perfect Draft Scores."

Grr just deleted my last comment by mistake.

Was just mentioning that in addition to what No Pulse said about old lemans, Sebring is a good course for it due to its long straights.

And obvious to some but not to all is not to have the AI on too low a setting or you tend to pass to easily without any chance of slipstreaming.

Thumbs up!

I got this on accident while playing Multiplayer with a friend. They were trying to get the 245mph with the McLaren P1. I was in a P1 as well and just followed them down the back straight on Old LeMans. This was a custom multiplayer game.

A good solution made even better due to the Shake N' Bake reference, got a laugh out of me. Here, have my positive vote.

I wasn't paying much attention, but I was getting at least a few perfect draft notifications while playing drag race. However, I still have not popped this achievement. I must've been drag racing for at least 4 hours. Makes me wonder if drag drafts do not count. I can't confirm anything, but I just thought I'd toss that out there.

Check your stats and see how many perfect drafts you've accumulated... if its over 20 and you haven't popped it then they don't work. Or if its not over 20 and you know you've done way more then we also know it doesn't work. I believe you can even check how many perfect drafts you've accumulated on each track!!

Hmm, I checked the stats and it said I had 16 perfect draft scores. I forgot to check how many were from the airfield, though. :-/

This is going to be tough since I'm always in first! If you ain't first, you're last! smile

Did it this way:

Map: Indianapolis Oval
Max Players: 16
Number of AI: Maximum
Drivatar Difficulty: easy
Laps:2 (or as much as you need/want)
Collision:on

Start the race and wait till you are 16th
then start and use every other car for "Slipstreaming" - when you got the Notification - go to the next car and so on - should be a quick thing

It is done during the game, it is not difficult to do. We just chase the bots from behind so that the breeze blows on you.
