In order to unlock this achievement you must finish 25 Rival events on the newly released track, Nurburgring. It does not matter which version of the track you do this on. An easy way to nab this achievement is to go into rivals, select a time attack on the Nurburgring Grand Prix Circuit, complete one lap. After that, select pause, finish race. On the post-race screen, select restart. Rinse and repeat. The achievement unlock criteria behaves exactly to the rival achievement associated with the Long Beach DLC.
In order to get miles driven towards the “The German Connection” achievement, I would suggest using either an Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, or Volkswagen model vehicle.
I hope this solution helped! Leave a comment letting me know if there is any room for improvement! Thanks.

does it need to be a clean lap?

yeah, my game was glitched at 72%, but when i restarted it worked fine
By MLP Thomaz on 12 Jun 2014 20:55
I think this may be glitched :( - I have done 28 full laps (28 different races after restarting following one lap completed) and it still hasn't popped :|

I have just done another 30 laps using this method and still nothing :(
By Iron Man TStark on 28 Jul 2014 15:26
you can't just do the laps, you have to do 1 lap then quit, do 1 lap again, end race, and so on...

I hate when they have achievements that demand you to sit through loading screen after loading screen! The point of hot lapping is so you DON'T have to keep restarting.
Sorry...back off my soapbox.

So this isn’t quite true! You have to choose finish race, otherwise it won’t register.
This then forces a 20-30second loading time while you watch your car drive. You then have to watch the credits and driver level screen before you can restart the race.
Edit: ok weird, next time I tried it went straight to the driver level/credit screen

This is unobtainable now, servers have been closed

The servers are not closed, although they aren't reachable most of the time. Once you succeed in connecting, you can play long sessions and successfully obtain this and other MP/Rivals achievements. Just keep trying occasionally. I give it 3-5 connection attempts at a go but don't bother trying more than once or twice a day.

With the servers partially back up, I went to Rivals - Time Attack and used the #11 McLaren M23 on the GP circuit. There are no Rivals that appear (although you can view the leaderboard before the "race" starts). Just do a lap and it will count. Once the lap is done, press Start and Finish Race. Then Restart after the rewards screens.
If you're going for the 200 miles in the #11 achievement as well, you can mix it up with the North Loop and North Loop + GP. For some reason, one of my North Loop + GP laps didn't count to Rivals or Distance. Not sure why.
If you stick with GP I was averaging 2m04s per lap. Each lap is 4% of the requirement.
