How to unlock the Golddigger achievement in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - Definitive Guide
This doesn't need to much of a guide, as it's pretty self explanatory. Just get a gold medal on all 60 racer events.
But, it will take time. All criteria for Gold are listed on the race intro menu.
Prepare for many retrys at certain missions (I found the time trail category to be the hardest).
*On Duels and Hot pursuits, your time does NOT matter. Just finish 1st for Gold.
* Don't always take the "shortcut". Some of them are long cuts. And what car are you in? Low slung cars go over gravel slowly. Learn the cuts and if they are faster or slower.
*If you fall behind in a duel/race, don't worry. Usually "rubber-banding" seems to come into effect, and you'll have caught up in no time.
* The biggest reason to fail a HP is being wrecked by the cops. Watch them coming up behind you, and prepare to evade/drop spikes.
* On time trials, it may take a few goes. Learn the shortcuts, and set yourself benchmarks. If you know its not going to happen, restart. The time trials are not as forgiving as the races.
* Use your power ups at the right time. Don't use them just for the 200 bounty bonus. Save them until you need them.

In order to get this, you will need to get Gold on all 60 racer missions.
- Race
This is your standard race event. You will be up against 3-7 other racers in most events. In most of these events you only get to use nitrous no weapons or power ups to aid yourself to get ahead in the race.
- Hot Pursuit
Just like the race events except you are being pursued by the police. You will be up against 3-7 other racers and you will have weapons/gadgets to use against other racers and cops. Use them wisely on the cops, you can not damage a racer and knock them out( they will just keep coming back), but you can knock the cops up if they to close and to get some breathing room.
- Time Trial
You are given a specific type of class and you can you any car in that class (if they are unlocked) to get from one place to the other. You are challenged by time and by the oncoming and random cars that are on the road. The cars that you will be driving are all exotics and high class cars making the game and the feel for speed more like the game should. Make sure you drive a fast car.
The best way to complete these events is to keep your eyes on the road, use the shortcuts as much as possible, use nitrous every chance you get and watch out for random cars that pop up in the game while you are in any event. The best way to know if you are going to get gold in any event is to have at least 15 or so seconds left when you reach a mile left on the track. There is no time penalty for hitting cars or damaging the car but try your best to not hit anything.
There is one Time Trial event that has every one mad, I would advise using these this thread for tips and maybe tricks on how to complete this event. The Ultimate Road Car (McLaren Time Trial)

- Duel
Your standard race event except it is with one other racer. You have a choice of 2 cars in these events and the better one should always be your first choice.
- Gauntlet
A race against time with the addition of police chasing after you. The deeper you get into the game the more police will be involved in each of these events. The best thing to do especially when you have weapons/gadgets is to drive fast and use the gadgets on the police to get them out of your way as early as possible. Look at the preview and time trial events for more info.
