How to unlock the Pedal to the Medal achievement in GRID 2 - Definitive Guide

There are various ways to do this achievement, but I recommend doing it during WSR Season 1, Motor Mavens Faceoff Series, using any car. You can choose any difficulty, although Normal isn't too hard for this achievement.

Just take your time around the track, not using your brake. Pull off the throttle to slow down, and rub against walls in order to slow down faster when you need it. Use the throttle around the corners to start a drift, making it easier to corner.

Just make sure to win the race, and you will unlock the achievement.

best solution since you are playing against just 1 car

You can EASILY do this during a car challenge (in your career). I have tested and gotten the achievement this way. There is no one else on the track, its just you against the clock.

I got it either late in season 2, but tried it again during season 3. It was for the Ford Mustang Boss 302 -- not sure what track, but it is VERY easily done. Just let off the gas when you see a big turn coming up and ease your way into it. The first track I beat the time by 10+ seconds, the Mustang one I was still 7 seconds ahead of the time.

Enjoy, if you have any reason to downvote, let me know first! I'll try and fix it! Also, suggestions are taken and will be added to the guide!

I got it either late in season 2. It was for the Merc E class saloon car I used. Not sure what track, but it is VERY easily done. Just let off the gas when you see a big turn coming up and ease your way into it. The first track I did it on I was roughly 14 seconds ahead.

This is most easily acquired in the first season 3 club Togue event; you don't actually need your brakes for the course, and indeed, it can be a very quick way to get through that level. You only need to win one round without your brakes for this achievement to trigger.

Just to let players know, tried this on wsr season 2 vonzipper eliminator series and did not pop, actually ran all three rounds without touching the brakes, won all three races but nothing. It says career event but clearly not this one.

RACE: First New Union Race (within first 10 minutes of gameplay)
TRACK: Pacific Way
CAR: Stock Mustang
DIFFICULTY SETTING: Medium
You can earn this trophy on your very first real race if you are careful. It is your very first New Union Race on the Pacific Way Map. Using the stock Mustang that you are given, there is no need to use your brakes on this track, you can feather the throttle and drift to get through the tougher turns. I earned it on my second attempt.

This is easier than it looks. Just set the difficulty to the easiest one, then play the first race of Career again. Using the Camaro Z28 will help you on this. After a few tries the trophy will be yours.

When doing this achievement I improved my lap time by about 5 seconds compared to using the brake. Polyphony Digital - the creators of Gran Turismo - are shocked.
