How to unlock the Follow the Crowd achievement in Hotshot Racing - Definitive Guide

Press Y on the leaderboard for any track and then scroll down to pick a time to beat. I would obviously suggest picking the slowest one there. I wasn't given a massive selection of times, so with more and more people playing this may eventually get harder but I'm not sure.

Not sure how fast these time are disappearing as I no longer see Koosh in top 30 on Jungle - Temple (Reverse). I had to use Marcus' Carbon to beat the 30th ghost.

Desert - casino run mirrored - I just got #21 top 30 should be doable. Good luck ! Your second lap is always faster. Boost into the finish line for good start in next lap

Better to do this as soon as possible, since you can only download one of 30 best ghosts.

As above, i'd do this one ASAP.

Some of the Mirror versions in particular still have some very slow times, but once enough people have played this it'll be very very difficult.

Exactly as above. I've got the achievement and am now setting slow times in mirrored races. Get this while you can. It only lists the top 30 times!

Also a quick tip as I've just found out unlocking it.
Some of the times at the bottom of the lists are one run times.

The best times are achieved on 2nd and further runs as the speed you cross the finish/start line is almost certainly faster then the initial running start the game gives you whether your boosting or not

I found that the Desert had some of the slowest times when compared to the Staff Ghost. The Mountain is all 3-4 seconds faster than the Staff time already...

This achievement is going to be a bear...

I found Casino Run to be one of the easiest. I beat the ghost by around 5 seconds.

I tried Castle Funfair mirrored and was finding the times to be too optimized. Went to Heated Highway mirrored and got it there by beating a 33 second ghost. Now I can safely use its achievements for the Microsoft Rewards App. I'm not the greatest at arcade racers but yeah a lot of the mirrored tracks aren't heavily optimized yet so if you can, go for it while the unoptimized times are still there. I hate it when games have achievements like this, it can turn you into a tryhard which can eventually lead to raging which thankfully didn't happen to me.

This one is already looking impossible, all the mirrored tracks are now several seconds ahead of the dev time.

This achievement will now provoke me to rate this game at 0.5, I’m sure if we make enough outcry the devs can clear leaderboards once every month making it easier to earn this achievement.

I see track times are going to be only harder. Did it on suggested track, used same car all ghosts use, but manual, maybe it is not needed as entire track you need to go 6th gear, zero drifts, learn the track, now the hard part: remember to use boost slightly before starting next lap and right before the start line too, they give full boost you after start line, use boosts on muddy road after corners, keep optimum line, will take some time, but still very possible.

Just did it today on Desert -> Area 51 (Mirrored).

I was able to do it on my 2nd lap (~27 seconds at the time of this comment) so I'd say this track is still doable for the achievement.

Tahooper's comment needs to get put into the OP's guide! Spent far too long messing around on other tracks... Nailed it on Desert Area 41 (mirrored) on my second lap (the lowest placed ghost was just over 28 seconds)!!

Temple ruins mirrored. 30th place is almost 1 second slower than the dev time. It's still doable.

+1 for Throni360's suggestion of Temple Ruins mirrored. I'd note that use the first lap to get an idea of how to carry speed, a lot of the lap can be taken without braking. Then, after the last corner, use the boost to maximise the speed across the line, just before your boosts are restored

Temple ruins is still solid it's within 1 second of the dev time with plenty of room. I used Marcus and the Carbon. I did the same as PatriotsMike111, take your first lap as an out lap getting used to the track, you can hold down the gas for almost the entirety of the lap. As you round the final corner use a boost to give you a higher speed as the lap timer starts again when you cross the line. Just use your boosts on the straights and you'll have plenty of time. I managed 34 something, ~3 seconds under 30th place, and posted a #3 time, so there should be plenty of room to keep getting a ghost beaten as 30th is around 37 seconds.

Also a really great chance to do this now with the title update. I was easily able to post a top 30 time last night on the new Marina track. Mirrored is still the easiest way to go as the new tracks had not had 30 times even recorded yet. Get it while it’s hot!

The times on all tracks seem impossible to get.

Edit: Just got this on Ocean World and beat it by 0.012 it was that close. The last quarter of the track is the hardest to do. Trick is to keep drifting the whole time you're boosting so when you stop you have a boost bar to spare. I just got my bar filled in time on the last corner as the ghost passed me and boosted instantly. Was damn close, didn't think I would make it.

Just got in on Castle Funfair mirrored using Marcus - Carbon, my time 24:652, 30th place.

Took a few laps to get right and just sneaked it in by fractions of a second.

Normal Temple Ruins are also doable using Marcus - Carbon, just keep your speed above 230 and save at least one boost for the final turn to the finish line.

Great suggestion by earthboundX, beat the time by .6 sec on my 5th or 6th try. Used F-90 as suggested. Still gettable, especially for a racing amateur like me, think I have 1 or 2 racing games on my card in 13 years on Xbox.

Just got this on the mirrored version of Temple Ruins where I've come in 22nd. I've struggled to beat the staff ghost on most courses.

Use Marcus > Carbon and use proper racing lines (for left turns go as far right possible and turn in as close to the "apex" of the corner as possible). There is no requirement to drift for any of the corners if you attack them right. Be smart with boosts using them only on the straights as well as one just before you start the lap and you should make this with some comfort.

Wow, so far every race I've tried the ghosts are super fast and always get about 10 seconds ahead of me. I mean the ghosts literally at the start of each lap are going massively faster than my fastest speed with every car I've tried. OK wait I see the massive speed difference is because the ghosts aren't just starting their first lap like you are at start of the time trial, they are that fast because they are doing a boost right before they reach the finish line.

OK, finally got it on Mountain: Ski Paradise Mirror with Keiko in the Super F-90, by 0.037 seconds. Not much room for error in this anymore it looks like.

I would recommend you try mirrored tracks, as less people have done them, possibly because it's not super obvious that you can press x to mirror the tracks?

either way mirrored have much slower records

Hi guys just earned this achievement in 2023 , this is insanely tough to get now due to a wider community I struggled to get this I am not great in racing games so I would recommend to choose a track learn it and stick with it

The times for staff ghost does not count towards this ,ONLY REAL GAMERTAGS

The leaderboard for each time trail only give you the top 30 players in the world for each of the tracks so you have to be a least faster than the top 30 players in the world,

I would recommend to keep at least one boost before your second lap starts( making sure you are at full speed on your car before starting ) otherwise the ghost cars will zoom past and then you can forget about earning the achievement. So keep Boost,

I hope this alerts people to get this done and good luck your going to need it

Just leaving this almost as a warning - they are not lying ^ and this is now probably the most skilled based thing in the game. It absolutely seems impossible but just keep at it!
My piece of advice is after the very first lap you do where it doesn’t matter - try to cross the finish line going into the second lap spamming the boost. If you can fire a boost off right before you cross it automatically fills up with 4 more!

Select Time Trial from the main menu. When selecting a track press triangle to show the global times, and then pick the slowest time possible and beat it.
