How to unlock the It’s not the car... achievement in Forza Motorsport - Definitive Guide

You can go back and re-do the Introduction Builders Cup Intro since it's only three races. Select not with tutorial. Use a new car or reset the car back to stock before you restart the championship. Run through the practice and races without getting upgrades and finish in the top three and it will pop.

You can run the same car if you wish. Just go into your garage and reset the car back to stock before you restart the championship. I ran full practices both time’s through and ended up at level 39 with my Mustang. That’s one car well on its way to 50.

It doesn't have to be the Introduction Builders Cup at all, it can be any of the series in the Builders Cup. I just did the next one I was on to and still unlocked it. Saves you doing the same one again.

Got it in the next Builders Cup event. Forza Edition cars to count towards this achievement as well as long as you don't upgrade them - I wasn't sure at first but they do

I restarted the first series just because then read this achievement. I ran full B class car for the first race, then ran stock for the 2nd and 3rd. I think you only need stock car at the end of the series for the achievement to pop.

If you don't feel like doing the practice races you can skip them. I can confirm the Cheevo will still pop. Just start the practice and hit pause and go down to exit and you will see skip practice. Just make sure you don't hit the upgrade button when going to the next race.

@T3stercles That's because a Forza Edition can from the get-go is not a stock car.
All Forza Edition cars are modified versions of themselves.

I've done this perfectly at least 7 or 8 times and no achievement. This game is so bugged and glitchy for me it's insane...

I did the Builder's Intro again this time with a Toyota Supra stock as it's one of the fastest cars in B class. Turned the AI difficulty down to 0 and Penalties off and also incresed my starting grid position up to 7th. Verrrrry easy achievement. Even lost connection to the servers between races and still unlocked the achievement first try.

No need to re-do the first story. Do any story series in the first section without upgrading your car at all. I just got this in the 3 section of the first series (Super Sedans maybe?) with a stock BMW. I bought it and raced the 5 races without ever doing any upgrade to the car. Popped after finishing my 5th race and closing out that section of races.

Just buy a car and do nothing to to in the performance and tuning section. Buy it and go straight to race each time. That is a “stock” car.

Got it doing the showcase event at the end of the first series. Got awarded a Ford GT for finishing the series, used it in the showcase for just 1 lap of Le Mans (skipped the practice) and it popped at the end, took about 4 minutes.

If you don’t have a connection to the server when you finish the last event you will not get the achievement. It will also not show you getting the trophy. Worse, when you next start the game it will show the last event has not been completed (you have lost progress).

First time I got 3/5 events completed. After repeating event 4 and 5 I got 4/5. After repeating event 5 for the third time I got a Gold Trophy and the achievement. The really stupid thing is that it now shows I have 3 trophies for a tour that I have only completed 1 series in.

Nice and easy this one! you can get this off the first section of the game introduction builders cup if you have already completed this you can go back if you wish! or. on your career do any series with a car without any upgrades finish in the top 3 and this will ping at the end off the series

tips i think there may be a bug or an issue i had to do this twice before it popped don't use Forza edtion cars

This video will explain the easiest way to get the “It’s Not The Car…” Achievement.

Hope it helps:)

This can be earned in about 4-5 minutes by completing the "Modern Reward Showcase" at the end of the first tour.

Ensure that the car you are given has all upgrades removed before starting. Start practice, and then immediately "skip practice". You will then need to complete one lap. The achievement should pop when the podium celebration commences.
