I've found another option for the Endurance badge: Team NFS Z4 GT3

Yes it makes Tommy a little harder to beat (cause the PI is about the same) but it also puts all the AI dirvers in GT3 or similar cars too so they're much less likely to cause chaos at the start.

Just watch out for Karrussel - I ripped the front spoiler off a few times and at least twice it claimed te front right wheel as well.

to get the chevo you have to Beat all rivals,I will write only about endurance challenge,check other guides for more info,In order to win rival Tommy Milner,you need to beat him at the endurance challenge of champions and better be in podium before him at the end of series,or the first place if you can,this event is so crazy and frustrating to win,the most difficult I found beside drifting,if you use D class car, the most you can get is 2 nd position,and Tommy will smoke you out,If you choose a fast car,you'll be running against fast cars,that will turn up agressive because the track is tight,which result in a lot of accidents and crashes,but if you have the right car,good driving and a good strategy you can win easy,and save yourself a lot of time and frustration.
I recommend using Nissan GT-R 35 Need for Speed Edition,that is available for buying at the lot around $170,000,performance Index A 1180,it's a strong,stable car,good handling,can drift and break fast in corners,have a good acceleration,i didn't tune it,i did set up gameplay option this way,Difficulty Easy,handling mode: Experienced, break lock to yes, traction control : low ,Stability to yes,you can turn off stability,if you are a talented racer,this will give you more speed,Tommy Milner will be driving BMW M3 GT Alms performance index A 1530,it's a car with a good handling,but your acceleration is better and this is how to beat him.
-The first race will be in day,and second in night,Play tough from the beginnig,steal positions one by one,hit low handling cars from their behind to get them out of your way, and avoid hitting cars from their side,you will crash for nothing and lose the position,keep focused and you will catch up with Tommy at the half of the first lap,pass him at the straight line,get the lead,and try to keep it until the end of the race,play defensive,keep eye on him from the mirror,(make the view to full,with mirror on) the only way he can pass you is from the clear grass,if you crash or give him a side opening,be careful he will pass you before you know it,be focused,play alone with nobody in the room to distract you, this is a serious race,avoid cutting through the shortcuts,you have 5 warnings,you will be eliminated at the sixth track cut,you need to know all the forbidden zones before you start, there are some tricky zones,that can cost you the race,you can save the shortcuts,and use them to cut him off at the last lap,by the way I did beat him without using shortcuts,but if you have to,just do it,he is ruthless,he is annoying ,If you are lucky,he may spin,or crash, if you are a good agressive driver, smash him from his side to the wall,or throw him to the sand,if you are a casual racer,just play simple and defensive, and patient if he passes you,just be cool, you can catch up with him easy if you know the track very well,pass him at the right moment when he breaks at the corner,or in the long straights,the race will take 5 laps,around 45 minutes,you can be a good driver,but this race is about endurance ,focus,and determination,this event will test your patience,and make your heart beat hard from the pressure,and the fear to lose this long race,if you played good you will be in first position,which will put you in the first start at the second night race..
The night race is hard and painful,because there is low visibility,but the advantage you have now is that the other cars run a little bit slower in the night compared to day race,and you are in the first position at the start line,Tommy Milner is in your side,after the first corner,smash him to left side of the road,and get back quickly to the race,now he is in 16 position,and you are at 6 or 7,keep going up until you reach 2 position,follow the first leader to guide you and save some energy,at the third lap,Tommy Milner will catch up with you ,and start annoying you again, either play defensive to the end,or smash him to the wall again,if you are lucky he may get his car fully damaged and get rid of him ,from once and a while,click start,and see where is he in the positions,as long as he is behind you you are okay,he shouldn't get the first place,at the last race you can chase the first player and steal the lead and keep it to the finish line,also make to change the settings before you start the race ,make sure to turn off damage,not visibale only,if you smash your headlights you can't see nothing,and better to have a mirror so you can see who is behind,as long as you stay in the circuit and block the openings you are fine,with this strategy i was able to get first at day and night races,but my advise for you is try to play a lot at Nurburgring Nordshleife a lot before you attempt to do endurance, because shift have a glitch the green line disapear when you need it the most,and the night race is hard to do if you are not familiar with the circuit, if Toomy get in the podium before you at the end of the series you win only the podium badge .if you get 1 st and tommy second at day race,and you get second after him in night race,you get the same point,but you win the challenge,and you get first position at the end of series,so there is other alternative read comments for more details..final important tip,don't race with a lot of porches,keep quitting and restarting until you find an easy lineup ,good luck and enjoy the race !

NasriL11 you're welcome very much, you just confirmed what I was thinking of,before iI did try something in another event,which getting first place in the first race of the event series against the strong rival and second after him at the second race,at the final result you got the same points at the event,and for some reason you got the first place,and him the second place,I guess because you did win first before him in the first race,so you got the advantage,i don't think because you have a better lap time,I have this idea but i didn;t want to say it to you because I was not sure about it, thearically I'm sure about,but i didn't try it practicaly,In my mind ,I believe it works,for someone who is having a hard time winning a first place in night race to eliminate the doubt,you can try this,get first in the first event with the Nissan GTR NFS,start the night event,and quit after the event starts,and go back to the event again,the purpose of quitting is just to change the car to your favourite,and good handling and fast D class car,Let Tommy Milner smoke you out,you'll easily get the second place,because the pace is not fast,and the race is controlled,so like i said I didn't try this at Endurance event, I did try it in a different event, but it's worth to try for someone who is having a hard time to win night race,there is a big chance you will get two badges one for getting in podium and one for beating Tommy milner,the same way as NasriL11 just confirmed to us,please try this method,may be it will make this endurance event more easy for you, because the night event is more painful than the first one,and please confirm if it works or no to help others be sure.

You're welcome,glad my solution did help somehow,you can try other cars,but i advise you to use Nissan or BMW, these cars have good handling,ride medium cars, not slow or fast,try to stay in the same index range like Tommy Milner of A1530 you don't have to be in the first place to beat him, as long as you are before him in the final position of series, this is considered beating him

Thanks very much for all the tips. Bought a GTR NFS edition, tuned just like what HAM suggested and everything went well.
I overtook him on the 1st lap. But I gotta say, he's way faster in night race.
On the last corner, I hit the crash barrier n he overtook me.
I was so sad but when the race ended, achevo unlocked!
Thank god. I got 1st and 2nd for respectively.

Not saying the guide is bad at all ( I have thumbed up) but it would have been easier to read if their were spaces between some of the lines.

After a few attempts with other favorites rides, and no success, I went back and read your solution closely. I should have done that first! It would have saved me a couple hours of frustration.
GREAT CALL on the car selection. Just past the Karrussell I had him in my sights. But quit anyway and went and did some slight tuning.
2 lbs. out of the front tires.
2-3 clicks toe out front.
2-3 clicks toe in back.
-3 clicks camber front and rear.
Ride height 1 front, 2 rear.
Got him on the first try. Now, the night race, shit!

There are 9 rivals in game, all with their own respective championship.

You must be at least level 15 to earn this achievment (as the GT1 Rival requires level 15).

The rivals and their speciality is :

Vaughn Gittin Jnr (Drift)
Darren McNamara (Retro)
Chris Rado (Time Attack)
Vaughn Gittin Jnr (Muscle)
Jamie Cambell Walter (Modern)
Tommy Milner (Endurance)
Patrick Soderlund (GT3)
Mad Mike Whiddett (Works)
Jamie Cambell Walter (GT1).

Each rival championship can be found going to their speciality. Just look along the tabs for where it says "Retro" or "Works" etc. The rival championship is the bottom option, and will require a certain amount of podiums in that specialty to unlock.

It has been confirmed by Mystre0 that you have to beat all 9 rivals, so Vaughn Gittin Jrn and Cambell Walter have to be beaten twice each.

Well, in-game there are 9 badges, so if the achievements is related to badges (like the "Master all tracks" and "Win x badges" achievements) I'm afraid you need to win all 9. I'm not sure, it's just a guess.

Endurance is easily the hardest but I've just managed it using a GT3 car (the Z4 you win for completing the championship). It makes all the AI guys MUCH easier to deal with as they're no longer crashing anywhere near as much.

I used a Toyota Supra, and only had the driveline upgrades (clutch, etc.) and the weight reductions. More Power isn't always better; for the drifting I found that slow and steady wins the race.

I just used the Drift Alliance Nissan that they give you and got good with it and restarted alot but once you learn the track it is usually easy to beat the scores posted with a little luck
Also i totally agree with LostProphet2387 faster is not always better, i found that as long as you have enough speed to carry the car through the turn then you are fine any extra speed just makes it harder to control and adds no points

Also does anyone have any advice on the GT1 races, like what car or any tips on how to race them im getting my butt kicked

Endurance - Nissan GT-R SpecV (R35)
I upgraded it to 1499. All upgrades except for turbo and engine. Work with engine to get close to 1499. I'm sure anything above 1490 would be fine. I tuned the car for better general handling. Lowered ride height to 2. Front springs up to 1. Dampers, halve them all. If it's at 8 make it 4. You're done.

I can get a sizable lead on Tommy Miner in the first lap, playing with all assists on, even steering and braking. If you know the track well and run it in experienced mode, you should absolutely crush the competition.

There are a total of 9 bosses in the game:

1.drift

2.classic

3.time trial

4.muscle cars

5.modern A

6.endurance racing

7.FIA-GT3

8.factory

9.FIA-GT1

The game has this feature: the faster the cars you choose, the faster the bots take the cars. We try drifting on an old Ford Shelby GT500 with factory modifications, we do endurance testing on a Lexus LFA with a factory, since there is a lot of driving there, you need a faster car to save time. Modern And we pass on any car without tuning on a production car. Roughly speaking, personally, I drove a Porsche 918 Spyder without tuning. The factory modification was carried out on the 911GT3RSR and there were no problems. There were no problems with all other competitions.

Stop misleading people:/ you need to defeat everyone, including those from DLC sets, only in this case they will give you a trophy that is, if you bought DLS, then there are not 9 but 11 bosses

I want to add.

There are 2 conditions for receiving the trophy.

1. You must win the championship (drift, race, etc.) on points.

2. The boss opponent must finish behind you (2 or 5 or 10, it doesn’t matter).

The tactics are actually very simple. You can win the mini-championship without winning a single race. Why? Points are awarded for places: first - 12, second - 10, third - 8, etc. So, when you ride, just look at which rider is ahead or behind you and how many points you can afford to lose without the risk of losing.

For example, I don't like the Nordschleife. In endurance racing you have to drive 5 laps first during the day (this is about 40 minutes of real time), then at night (another 40 minutes). The first time I finished in 3rd place in a GT1 car. Since Boss was in GT3 (i.e. slower than GT1), he finished somewhere in 10th place. In the race at night I took the Lancia Delta Integral and finished calmly in 2nd place, leaving the Boss far ahead. The main thing here is to look in the pause menu in which places those who were ahead of you last time are traveling. As a rule, they are below 6th place and there is no need to fear them.

Thus, finishing 3rd and 2nd brought me victory in the overall mini-score.
This tactic applies to all boss battles. Say it!
