How to unlock the Hunting For Grip achievement in Project CARS 2 - Definitive Guide

Go to Quick Play and then in Custom Event. You need to select the Fuji GP circuit and set the Weather setting to "Storm". To make it easier, set the opponent number to 0, so that you'll be alone out on the track and you won't lose time behind others. I managed to do it with the Lancer Evo VI SVA as I was clocking in around 1:58 consistently, so a faster car will make it easier for you. Consider that Evo the benchmark for average gamers let's say. You can use an IndyCar or an LMP1 car with rain tyres and make this even easier.

Whatever car you choose, you'll suffer from understeer as the car struggles to find grip when turning into the corners. Make sure you brake more than normal in order to make it around the corners. Turning on the braking line can be very beneficial as well.

Lastly, the achievement requires a clean lap, therefore you need to keep at least one wheel between the white lines on the track.

EDIT: Based on the feedback of others (see the comments), using an IndyCar will make this achievement a breeze.

EDIT 2 (27/01/2018): The achievement remains just as glitched as any other "single task" type of achievement in the game, so it may unlock only during Private Testing or only in a Custom Event. Also, leaving the track at any time doesn't seem to void it currently.

I used your guide, but I did it in a Chevy Indycar. Very easy. Cheers.

Can confirm "Custom Event". Tried "Private Testing" and achievement did not pop up.

Other similar achievements seem to only unlock in a Private Test Session, so I guess the game's majorly glitchy at the moment, how wonderful!

One of the few times something good comes up from the comments in a solution here, thanks everyone. I'll update the solution too.

So these achievements are STILL glitched, which is not good to know obviously, but many thanks to everyone for leaving comments and adding more info for others to read nevertheless.

Just an FYI after the massive (20Gb) update at the start of June 2018, game version V6.0.0.0.1056, can confirm definitely unlocks as per the instructions on Custom Event under Quick Play, I did it with rolling start and clocked 1m42s on the 'out' lap, so very easily done.

Didn’t pop for me in custom, but did in private testing.

LMP2 car is far easier than Indy for the record...

Thanks for the Audi suggestion. I did edit my set up and throw rain tires on but I don’t think that’s necessary. I got it on the first lap even without a rolling start.

I tried this in custom race with 1 lap in the Audi eTron. Didn’t unlock so did it again in private testing. Got an invalid lap but it unlocked. I think there might be something to do with needing to still be in the race when to complete the requirement so having a 1 lap race doesn’t work.

Just got this today after 5 attempts with a Honda F1 car, I had time progression on the first 4 runs, then I turned it Real Time, then got it on the 5th go.

I've unlocked it in Quick Play - Custom Event

- Car: Audi R18 e-tron '14
- Track: Fuji GP
- Weather: Storm
- Opponents: 15 (you can choose "0")

For the *clean* requirements it's important that you stay on the road and don't ram into anything.

If you have a problem you can enable all authenticity options + HUD options, except for braking assistance. This will make handling a lot easier and even display a line on the road that shows you when to slow down.

By far the best solution...first time try....Lancer Evo as suggested wasn't cutting it.

Hunting For Grip

As the description says, you have to drive a clean lap around Fuji in Storm conditions, in a time less than 2 minutes.

I've unlocked it in Quick Play, Custom Event, using the Audi R18 e-tron '14.
A normal lap should take you more or less 1:40, so don't rush.

Remember to choose "Storm" as wheater!
Here's a screenshot of the right weather to choose

I'm posting it because I've lost half an hour due to crappy translations in a non-english version of the game.

You can earn this trophy in Quick Play, Custom Race. You need to finish a clean lap on Fuji GP with Storm conditions in under 2 minutes. Clean lap means that you cannot touch anything or go off track or as this will invalidate your time.

To make it easier, go in Options, Gameplay before the race and put these settings:

Steering Assistance: Yes
Braking Assistance: No
Driving Assists: Full
Anti-Lock Brakes: High
Stability Control: On
Traction Control: High
Damage Type: Off
Mechanical Failures: No
Tyre Wear: Off
Fuel Usage: Off
Auto Start Engine: Yes
Rules & Penalties: Off
Manual Pit Stop: Yes
Pit Stop Cinematic Cameras: On
Manual Cooldown Lap: Off
Manual Rolling Start: No

Press to switch to Onscreen Guides & Display menu

HUD Level: Full
Driving Lines: On
turn Indicator: On
Track Map: On
Show Lap Info: On
Starting Grid Lights: On
Cockpit Wheel/Driver: On
Opponent Names: Multiplayer Only
Race Engineer: Always
Spotter: Always


Now go in Quick Play, Custom Race, and choose:

Car: “Formula X” from SMS
Track: Fuji GP
Weather: Storm
Season: Summer
Opponents: 0

It will rain and there will be water on the track, which will make controlling your car a bit harder. Finishing a lap in under 2 minutes is not that hard but it will take a bit of practice. Make sure to not touch a wall or go off track or it will invalidate your time.

This one is actually too easy. Pick Fuji GP track, get a fast car (LMP1 works out perfectly, any one of them), select Storm as weather forecast and pick 0 AI opponents as it makes it even easier.

Drive a clean lap (do not hit anything, you can even leave the road but as long as your lap time is not disqualified) and you'll get it. I got this achievement on the very first lap as it took me 1:47 to complete it (second lap was 1:39).

Very easy achievement.
