How to unlock the Like a train! achievement in Gravel - Definitive Guide

Just a little correction:

Select the 'Through The Caves' track in Alaska. As many other people suggested in the comments, i used the Abarth 131 as well. It's not very fast, but it's easy to maintain your speed.

If you go to the Time Attack menu, and select the mentioned track and car there, you will also unlock the following achievement just in one go:

Another vote for the Tomcar Military. I'm amazed that no-one else has mentioned the fact that jumps are a persistent issue if you're going too fast. Find the speed at which you get the high speed bonus and then *stop accelerating* - just use light taps to hover above that threshold and you'll find this much easier.
It might be self-evident to others, but to me it really wasn't obvious initially what even qualifies as 'high speed', never mind the fact that you're allowed to coast or use brakes and keep it running roll

I had so much trouble doing this. I finally figured out an easy way to get it done is to adjust the final gear ratio of the transmission from 20 to 30. I got it the first try after that.

I couldn't even maintain high speed for 20 seconds on that track. Every time I got it going I would hit a bend that would cause me to drift and slow down. Am I doing something wrong?

No way with the Abarth, tried it like 20 times with no luck at all. Did it first try with the Opel Kadett and didn't do anything different then before...

Did what Schinderdiv said, turned the Abarth 131's first option under Transmission from 12 to 30, and I also got it right after.

I personally found the Abarth 124 with no ratio changes to be the easiest. Got it 2nd try. Same map. Lined up the for the second cave and got all the way to the end with about 5100 points.

Easily did it with the Abarth 131 on Through the Caves. Don't worry about the first 25% of the track or so, at the end of the track is where you will get this achievement much more easily.

Thanks!

*** Update *** As of the latest patch (April 16th 2018) this achievement should now be obtainable for disc and non-disc users playing normally.
The route " caves" is very doable with reasonably long straights and weak bends halfway through the end. For me choosing a slower car helped with maintaining top speed (the actual speed needed to get the " top speed" bonus differs per car and is lower for slower cars).



I will leave the old solution up for downloadable versions in case they make a bad patch again.

-Revert to the original game version by deleting the game from your xbox (do not delete save game!)
-Network settings: take your xbox offline
-Reinstall the game with the disc.
-Still offline go for the above method. Make sure you get it. 4000 high speed points is just enough (100 points is 1 second). I went for 5000 twice.
-Network settings: go online.
-Hard reset (may or may not be necessary, I did it anyway).
-Wait. The achievement took atleast 10 hours for me, popped when I slept.

I do not know of a workaround for the digital version owners. Hopefully they will patch the game and this will be a temporary solution.

@Matt DB87 Alaska 'The caves' (towards then end of the course) and 'Lumber Mill' are both very do-able. Personally 'The Caves' requires less steering and is easy in my opinion.

Yep, so I found the championship (3 races) under the 'Mix Tape' 2nd comp I think to be the quickest. 3 races + 300k bonus for finishing first has you leveling up pretty damn quick.

cross country A vehicle and keep the speed between 180-195 if you can. you'll know the bits where you need to be slower. not many of them.

By jacky rooster on 14 Mar 2018 23:35
Take cross country car. Do the lumber mill track, easier to maintain speed there despite 1 sharpish corner. Oh and slower cars need a lower speed to get the high speed bonus so that is easier

Please let us know if anyone gets it because it just doesn’t work for me. It’s the only achievement I need for this gme so I’d like to finish it off if possible. I would like to clarify and say I attempted this about 10 times without dropping below the minimum speed but any bump would make it a jump and reset the high speed counter. These same “jumps” didnt cause issues before the patch that broke it according to the guide videos I’ve watched.

I got with the new Special Forces DLC Growler. Did a free race though the caves in Alaska. The Growler is only 132hp but is quick to reach top speed and easy to maintain a steady pace. After the 1st caves I missed a checkpoint but rewound and continued on, staying full throttle to the finish. This was done during normal gameplay without deleting my files.

Got it with the Toyota Landcruiser. Set the first gears option to 29 to cap max speed at 183km/h. That way you don't need to worry about slowing down in corners. Just hit full throttle all the way through and focus on going through the corners without losing speed.

Downloaded the patch and it’s still not working for me. My high speed keeps resetting even though I’m way above the 180km.

I tried it again and still no go. It seems to hold ever so slightly longer but it constantly resets on the slightest bump which seems impossible to avoid on a dirt track... so I’m going to say it’s still impossible unless someone proves otherwise.

Just bought a physical copy and unlocked it no problem. I got it with an Abarth 131 Rally on Through The Caves. Maybe it's my driving but I found the bends on that track just sharp enough that higher class cars have to slow down to take them, but the D class cars can turn at speed.

Map - alaska through the caves
car - Hummer

The idea here is that you go flat out over 170 for 40 seconds, When you get to the 2nd checkpoint before the tunnel get your speed to over 170 and don't let it drop. Very easy if you follow my guide and use rewind before starting the speed run!

This is actually tough, since you need a long straight stretch. Pick a slower car, so your top speed lasts longer. The easiest spot is in Free Race. Use the Abarth 131 or Toyota Landcruiser. Set the first gears option to 29 to cap max speed at 183km/h. Save this achievement until near the end, so you can experiment with other cars and settings.

The game will grant you a ‘High Speed’ bonus as soon as you drive faster than 110 miles an hour (177 km/h). Once you do you’ll see a notification on top of your screen saying ‘High Speed” and the Show Points you’re earning for it. For this trophy to pop you’ll need to maintain your speed and keep that notification on your screen. Even a small take off or jump will break your chain though so you’ll need to find a flat course and avoid bumps as much as possible. There’s a few locations where this can be done, but the easiest one is the ‘Through the Caves’ track in Alaska. Make sure you have the High Speed notification on screen when entering the second cave and maintain your speed until the finish. There’s only one tricky bend to the right towards the end, make sure to turn in early as to take this bend not too sharply. Please refer to the video below for visual aid.

Time attack -> Alaska -> Lumber Hill
We take the car according to our taste.
You don't have to swerve around the track like in the video, just keep it at a little over 180 km/h to avoid jumps that interrupt the meter. The only difficult set of turns is at 1:15, we try to keep a straighter trajectory and that’s it.

It happened on the TROUGH THE CAVES track in Alaska (the first track).
The ACCIONA ACCIONA car, an electric car, is being given away for free in the Store. I didn't change the settings.
I turned off the brake assistants, both of them.
You need to keep your speed HIGH SPEED and not jump somewhere from the middle of the second cave to the finish line, there is a fairly smooth road there, and if you are lucky, the counter will not go wrong.
You can get to the second cave any way you want, there the counter goes down a hundred times.

On this track it was possible only with a Mitsubishi ASX. The main thing is to choose the right trajectory for cornering (a little training and everything will work out). The report starts at about 21 seconds. The main thing is to get to the jumps without resetting the counter.

Lumber mill, HUMMER car, in the transmission settings we set the value 13 to the Final ratio setting. I did it on the 10th try. Sometimes you need to reduce the speed to 180-185 to prevent the car from tossing.
