How to unlock the Dipping Your Toes achievement in GRID 2 - Definitive Guide
Set up a custom event and pick touge, doesn't matter which track and use all 5 rounds. As the race starts, use the 5-second rule to your advantage and have the other guy sit back, you get the win within seconds of the race starting. Each round win nets you up to $3000 depending on your crash rating (white is best), and if you win all 5 of the rounds, you get up to $15000 in about 5 minutes or so...loading takes longer than the actual races. And the other guy gets up to $8000 for losing all 5 rounds. Or you can split the rounds and go every other, up to you.
EDIT: Thanks to x InSoMniA, I forgot to mention this. Also the person who is losing needs to move forward as well just really slowly or else they will get booted from the race. If whoever gets booted, you still earn money/XP towards your next level.
EDIT: It seeems it can take anywhere between 250k & 350k to hit level 10 depending on how you perform in events via place and impact rating.
A suggestion for doing better online is remember to use your rewinds. I didn't realize you could use them online until I was already level 8 so I had a lot of last places finishes after getting wrecked and taking a while to get recovered and back on the track when the rewinds put you back on the track right away.
It's weird, but when i was playing online races, and collect something about 5k for 1 race - my level grow up much slower...
So i suggest playing only global challenge, be sure you are the best from list - and collect each week reward. Maybe u will wait little longer for achievement, but it's less time consuming way - rather than playing random online races.
The online levels are based on your credits. You will need 240,000 credits to reach level 10. You earn credits by playing races, you don’t need to win, but if you do, you earn more credits. The best modes for rank up fast are Endurance, Time Attack and Touge.
To reach level 10 online, you need to earn somewhere between 240,000 - 290,000 credits in multiplayer events, depending on the player, events and impact rating. You can also earn credits in the global challenge at the end of every week, or custom/private games but it is much lower than online races.
The easiest playlist to level up in is the "Alternative" playlist where you will take part in Endurance races, Time Attack, Drift, Touge & Face-Off events. Credits are determined based on your finishing position, as well as your driver rating. Clean drivers will earn a substantial amount more than dirty drivers. Winning in a touge or face-off event should net you between 4000-4500, and playing well in full 12-player event such as Drift, Endurance race or Time Attack can gain you from 10,000-30,000 credits.
Remember to level up your cars to gain a small advantage over others. This achievement should take between 5 to 8 hours for the average player, depending on their skill.
Fast and easy boosting method (courtesy of Creech):
Go to GRID Online, choose Events, Xbox Live, Online Custom Event, Create Game. Change Race Type to Touge, Rounds to 5. Get one boosting partner and trade wins each round. Note that if the losing player in a given round just sits at the starting line, the game will kick them out. They need to just progress slowly down the track at 30mph or so until the winning player is 5 seconds ahead of them.
Each person will get just under $10,000 every 7 minutes or so.
