How to unlock the Iron Man achievement in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - Definitive Guide
Ok so you need the Audi R8 to win 3 types of races. Interceptor, Hot Pursuit and Rapid Response. You first need to unlock the car which should happen around lvl 12. But since you're reading this solution to complete the game 100% the chances you already did are very likely.
The Audi R8 can be driven in the "Rapid Deployment Unit" class, If you want to choose your own race click on any SCPD spot on the map, select the event and then in the right corner it will say whether it's a Rapid Deployment Unit event or otherwise. If you want me to give you 3 here they are:
Interceptor:
Select the "Carson Ridge Reservoir" ( left,middle-bottom of the map ) 2nd event called "Locking On"
KungFuStu72 Suggested that you can also choose the "Hang Tough" event in "Grand Ocean Coast" (south west corner of the map)
Hot Pursuit:
Select the "East Gorge Canyon" ( right side of the map ) 3rd event called "Run to the Hills"
Rapid Response:
Select the "Carson Ridge Reservoir" ( left,middle-bottom of the map ) 3rd or 4th called "Guided Missile" and "Coming in Hot" your choice
You need to earn the Distinction award on all 3 event types, Distinction is what the Gold medal is called for cop events.
NOTE! : I've heard from various sources that you do not need a Distinction award on all of them, people are reporting the achievement popped with just a Merit award. I don't know if this will happen to everyone so get a gold anyway just to be sure.
UPDATE: Apparently they fixed it, you need 3 gold now.
Good luck !

Great solution - you're actually giving all the information needed. :)
For your Interceptor mission you can also do the "Hang Tough" event in "Grand Ocean Coast" (south west corner of the map).
For me the Audi R8 police car didn't unlock until I reached about level 11.

Just got this. For those wondering, the glitch is still in place ( I have all the patches from 2010 upwards on this game) . Got Run To The Hills on distinction previously, went and got the pursuit and rapid response first, then got a merit on run to the hills and the achievement popped.
So if like me you found the rapid response stuff a chore (6 attempts) with the Audi, get it with a decent car and then just run through it with the Audi and you will still get the popup!

Actually, i tried to do that now (after 4 years of the release) and i can say, you must earn Gold badges on all races. Merit doesn't enough

You will eventually unlock this vehicle but already have completed the events, its okay just go back to these events and get a distinction in each one using the Audi R8. Credit to mirski5 for the names of the events. Remember these are cop events.
- · East George Canyon - Run to the Hills (Hot Pursuit)
- · Grand Ocean Coast - Hang Tough (Interceptor)
- · Carson Ridge Reservoir - Guided Missile (Rapid Response)
If you don't like any of those events you can pick any three as long as as each one of three is one of those types of events. There has been a claim that you can get second place in one or all events and still get this trophy.
Patch 1.01
The Audi R8 is the last car unlocked for the Sergeant rank (11). Thanks Soothsayer for the info.
