How to unlock the Free as a Bird achievement in Forza Motorsport - Definitive Guide

You can do this in "Free Play" once you have completed the first series in Forza.

Once you are in the main menu, head to "Race" then "Free Play" then start up "Quick Play".

If you don't own the car, you can rent it free of charge, do note you won't get any Car Level progression.

In this case, choose the 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans AM SD-455

You want to choose "Circuit Race" - select "Eaglerock Speedway" and "Club Circuit" layout.

It is up to you what weather and time you want. There is a weather related achievement for free play
Forza MotorsportRain or ShineThe Rain or Shine achievement in Forza Motorsport worth 20 pointsCreate and complete a race in the rain in Free Play


Choose 1 Lap and 0 Drivatars

Before you Start!

Once you have selected this, you'll be at the track. I suggest, changing the Drivatar Difficulty to "Fastest" to help progression with this achievement - as there is no AI you still get progression towards it.

You can also unlock this achievement by having full Forza Regulations on and no penalties.

@JCDenton1907 The only thing I can suggest is make Turn10 aware of the bugged achievement so they rectify this issue. Apologies I can't help more than that.

@JCDenton1907 Sorry to hear you're having no luck. I don't know how to flag as "buggy" so I do apologise there - that would possibly explain the negative reactions to this and other related achievements I have done guides for.
The only think I can suggest is go back to Turn10 and report a ticket or make them aware. That's allci can suggest, so sorry there.

In the main menu, head to Race then Free Play then start up Quick Event Setup.

Select buy or rent cars and then choose the 1973 Pontiac Firebird Trans AM SD-455.

Then set Game Type to Timed Race, set track to Eaglerock and set the track layout to Club Circuit.

Set Race timer to 00:30 and set Drivatars to 0.

Start the race and you should unlock the achievement at the end of the race.
