How to unlock the Race License achievement in Need for Speed: Shift 2: Unleashed - Definitive Guide

have to be in career but you can drive the same race every time

active hard in options and press [START] (not B)

you can do it "legit" or drive 75x the same race

the fastes is "Poster 3" - DRIFT - Irwindale Wheels on Fire - the first
i used the classic DODGE CHARGER R/T (no tuning), very easy to beat the 110 points
after the races you can use B to play again - shorter reload times

Is this possibly glitched? I popped the 25 and 50 wins. Did another ~40 wins and still didn't pop the 75 wins.

are you shure that you win (finished 1st) and the difficult is hard - because the 50 you get for medium or harder

I ended up winning about 10 more hard races and it finally popped. Not sure what the deal was.

The weird turns used to prove difficult for me (so I did the speedway instead for most of it). But once I got a little more skilled at drifting, this was not a difficult track. I used the Nissan 240SX (S13) Drift Alliance--the low performance aspect made it easier to control for me. Thanks for the solution!

Just got it--it popped for me after a drift event. I hear that some of the achievements are glitchy so I wouldn't be surprised if some people need to unlock it in an actual race or whatnot.

Does anyone know if the Drag and Standing Mile events (Speedhunters DLC) count towards this achievement? I find it easy to win those races on Hard and it seems to me the easiest way to get there, if it works...

Might be worth mentioning these wouldn't pop for me in the drift events and I couldn't figure out why so I went for a RACE in modern D and they popped at the end. It seems you can grind out the wins in drift but to actually get it to pop you need to win a race. That's how it worked out for me.

To add to DeaconFrost2k solution, I found the second race at Toyota Speedway at Irwindale to be much, much easier to beat the 153 score. It is a 2 lap oval, takes a bit longer than the first one but it is twice as easier.
I am using the Team Need For Speed Mazda RX-7 (FC3S) for it.

Both worked for me but the Speedway was easier/more consistent. I used the Nissan 240SX (S13) Drift Alliance. I think for inexperienced drifters, the less powerful car might be easier to handle. I was easily hitting 400 points with no trouble--I didn't need to feather the throttle at all during the drifts, only control my angle. Thanks for the solution!

Win 75 offline career events on hard difficulty, every race is an event, some are series of events, this will pop mid series at the end of a race or event if you have fullfilled the criteria. The lesser achievements 25 wins on easy and 50 wins on medium also stack with this one so you will get them whilst progressing to this one.

Doing it legit is not as hard as you may think and will save wasting a good hour or two tediously drifting the same track time after time when you can get it during standard gameplay progression.

Winning modern D is easy because you pick a decent car like the lotus elise and will easily thrash the AI even on hard without any upgrades. Basic rule of thumb is get ahead by first couple of bends and race clean and steady to stay ahead.

Moving on to Modern C pick a decent car like the audi R8, upgrade it but dont take it outside of group C, this common rule is key to ensuring the grid stays less competetive and so easier to beat. The same applies to retro and muscle and modern B selecting a decent car upgrading it staying just inside the cars original class.

Winning virtually all drift events on hard is very easy even with the basic courtesy drift alliance nissan or using the awarded need for speed mustang, using a better drift car and tuned setup will greatly simplify winning all drift events on hard. Recomended experienced handling with disabled traction control in gameplay options.

Dont bother exerting yourself to win events that supply the car like hot laps, eliminator and time attack will probably also prove more futile to try to get 1st place, there are ample events in Modern D,C,B drift, retro and muscle to attain this achievement with relative ease so you should also have this before group A which is where it also all becomes much harder thanks mainly to the appauling steering and AI that seems to have uncanny abilites of speed, cornering, racing off track without penalty, will also ram and side swipe without reason or cause or just as bad leave dead AI cars strewn in extremely awkward locations so I very much recomend going for this achievement from the begining, you can always turn down the skill level afterwards if needed for the later faster groups.

Some of the cars I used remembering dont upgrade beyond their original group, concentrate on speed and acceleration but leave room for others to aid handling:
Modern C:
Audi R8 (engine swap) + other minor upgrades Group C
Retro:
Mercedes 190E euro Group C
Muscle:
Shelby 427 classic muscle Group B
Corvette stingray classic muscle Group B
Dodge Challenger Concept modern muscle Group B
Modern B
Lambourgini Reventon Group B

You will feel much better getting it this way giving you an opportunity to get a better feel for the way it handles and it will give you a better sense of game value as I personally have a very low opinion of this game, in may respects its predecessor was much better and without doubt far less buggy.

Does the Hot Lap / Time Trial Races count if I beat the "Hard" Time?

As far as I am aware all events count, you would need to be playing on hard setting and beat all 3 lap times on hot lap events, some will be easy others will seem impossible usually when you struggle to get a podium finish after a couple of attempts, if your just after the achievemennt then its not worth chasing those that you have not got close to.

Refering to the higher group races I think group A is the hardest but as i already had the achievement I did not spend much time going through the cars to find one that stood out from the crowd by the first couple of bends, however in GT3 and GT1 some events will be quite easy to win on hard setting yet others you may struggle to get a podium. As stated you can change skill level any time just remember to save settings.

There is an even simpler and win-win option.

In the “Astern Ahead” drift tour, we choose a race on RUSTLE CREEK, take the previously won Team Need For Speed ​​Mazda RX-8 and drive for four laps. It only takes about two minutes from one race to the next, the track is wide, it’s very easy to walk, it’s impossible to lose.

It’s done very simply, take the car, the main thing is that it is without tuning, set the difficulty level to the highest in the settings, turn on all the assistants, go to the career, its first section Modern D, Single exhibition, select the Monza JR Italy track (I did it on her). And then the main thing is to have a great start, then at the first right turn you will already be first and so on until the end of the race. If it doesn’t work, pause again. Let's go, press on , restart and so on 75 times come first. For one you will immediately receive two trophies, for 25 and 50 races, you will normally raise experience and money. It will take about three hours.
