Worked for me in Private Testing first try. I even went off track a little towards the end and invalidated my lap and the achievement still popped.

My lap was invalidated early on, but finished in under 7mins, and it still popped. Done in private testing with Audi Etron like guide suggested.

For me it didn't work with season=winter and weather =snow. Needed to choose snow as season (also had weather=snow). Popped first time after I set it like that.

Mine hasnt popped. I used the Nurburgring Nordschleife Circuit for both private testing and quick race. Is that correct? Just making sure if we are not suppose to Nurburgring Combined?

For the two of you struggling - I didn't get it first try either - under Race Settings I had to set the season to snow as well as the weather - I just did quick play, custom event, 1 lap, 0 opponents, rolling start, and Audi R18 eTron - took it really easy and still had 45 seconds to spare. It isn't Nurburgring Combined

With weather Snow, I did two Quick, two Private, all clean and under 7 minutes. No pop. Restarted the game, tried once again each mode, no pop. Came here, read about Season Snow (?), popped first lap.

Yeah this one is weird. Ran it twice with no unlock unfortunately. Did it once in the "Spring" and another time in the "Winter", both being sub 7 minute times so I'm not sure at this point.

Okay I figured out my problem. In my race settings, I had my "Duration Type" set to "Time" and that was incorrect. It needs to be set to "Laps" and I just had it on 1 lap.

So after many attempts, this is what worked for me (for those who are still having problems).

In the race settings:
Duration Type - Laps
Season - Snow
Weather Forecast - Snow

Might be worth adding for newbies or people picking this up from Games With Gold (April 20) that you can turn on the racing line and braking advice to guide you around the map if you arent familiar with it. It helps to have big green arrows all over the track in the conditions

I hit the gras hard and the time went red, with a text saying the race engineer stopped my time, still got the achievement with 6:34.
So, I assume, if you really don’t hit anything - you’re okay.

Just a few words of warning, There is NO NEED to drive with Season Snow, the last patch makes no changes.

After many hours of Driving in the snow, testing different setups and cars, i give up with those snow settings.
I CAN CONFIRM (and a friend of me too)
Season: Winter! Yes Winter and NO (f*ckin) snow.

When i finally get this to pop, i drove an one lap Quick Race and before this i changed the
Rules & Regulations
all to On!

The try before i had some settings off and i get no pop.

I also set the date of event to 01/12/2017, but i don‘t think this makes a difference.

I did not leave the track and drove a clean lap.

Hope this helps anyone.

6:34 in the E-Tron with Season set to Winter and Snow turned on. Unlocked first time. Disagree with the above ^ The Formula X car is incredibly twitchy and difficult to drive. I found myself going slower through the turns because I was scared of getting on the throttle too quickly on the exit and spinning out. If I can run it 1 min 30 seconds faster than the achievement then anybody should be able to.

Definitely glitchy. My settings were season snow, weather snow on a quick race with 1 opponent, in which the game recognised my time as the race finished whereas in private testing the game doesn't recognise your time as you can only exit which the game says your times won't be saved.

Click on Nurburgring and Nordschleife is the 2nd one down or the middle one of the three tracks. Can confirm above method works. I did it on a custom game with the Audi R18 Etron. I did it in 7.39 but accidentally clipped a barrier at the end and it didn't pop. Second try I did it in 7.47 and hit nothing and it popped. You can spin, skid or hit the grass, but if you clip a barrier or wall it does not count as a clear lap. Best to set the season as snow as well as the weather to make sure.

Custom event, winter season and snow weather! Use the Audi R18 Etron and put in wet tires for better handling. Set it for 2 laps in case you don't get it on the 1st you can see how much time you need to shave off to be under 8 min mark.

Ok, after many of attemp, this achievement pop on private test, choose your best car to run, for me i choose the Audi R8 E-tron, i'm sure if you drive other faster, you have many time to finish the lap in time .

For me, with the Audi, i finish with 7:31 and i drive very slowly to be sure to stay on the road.

My setting :

Car ; Audi R8 E-tron

Circuit : Nurburgring Nordschleife

Parameters :
Type of Date : personal date
Date ( i put ) : 24/12/2020
Hour of starting session : 12:00
Time progession : No
Season : Snow ( --> be sure you put Snow and not Winter before you save ... )
Place of Season : 1
Prévision : Snow ( not other on the board )

Save your setting.

Star your lap, don't look the time to do no mistake ( i do it one time and restart ... )

Have a good race !

Can confirm that you can definitely touch grass and still obtain it. Made a bit of a mistake on a turn but still finished with 6:49 and it popped. Great solution, +1 from me.

I found the E-tron impossible to control. Switched to the FX car and it was a doddle with these settings.

I normally don‘t give negative votes but here i make a exception.
This guide (and the comments of the other guide) cost me A LOT of time and nerves.

After many hours of Driving in the snow, testing different setups and cars, i give up with those snow settings.

For anyone wondering since I didn't understand it at first, you have to set season as Winter (not Snow) and set the weather slot to Snow. It will be snowing as you race, but no snow will accumulate on the track. Conditions will be like driving in the rain so put wet tires on.

I was making the mistake of setting season to Winter, but left weather as clear, and the achievement would not unlock. Duh! :S

You can make a mistake as long as you don't see a notification of lap disqualification. I noticed when that happens, the lap time tracker turns red.

I spun out with a complete 360 degree turn in the grass but my lap was still clean some how. I let the car keep spinning until I was facing straight. I didn't use reverse or drive the wrong way. I also didn't hit any objects.

Basically keep the lap going unless the game says it is dirty. :)

Finish with a 7:02 lap as well.

Before you start the race,
Check the settings in
Option -> Gameplay and set "Damagetyp" to Full Damage and "Rules and Penalty" to on.

Right now, go to Quick race -> Private Test
Here are my settings

Car: Audi R18e-tron´14
Track: Nürburgring Nordschleife
Settings: Seasons = Snow and Weather = Snow

Let´s start the race. I need 7 Minutes. After the first Lap, i drive very safely, the Achievement pops.

You can earn this trophy in Quick Play, Custom Race. You need to finish a clean lap on the Nürburgring Nordschleife with snow conditions in under 8 minutes. Clean lap means that you cannot touch anything or go off track or it will invalidate your time.

To make this easier, go to Options, Gameplay before the race and use 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: Nürburgring Nordschleife
Weather: Snow
Season: Summer
Opponents: 0

It seems this trophy will only pop if you set the season to Winter with the 2.00 patch.

8 minutes is more than enough to finish a lap so just drive carefully and make sure not to touch anything or go off track and you should be good.

You should easily make 8 mins. Just make sure you take it easy and never have more than 2 wheels leave the track surface.
I didn't really go for it and got 7:02 on my first lap.
Hopefully this helps.

You need to set this up to have SEASON as Winter and WEATHER as snow. Select any car (I used Formula X) with rain tires and drive a full lap. Just make sure you do not get your lap time disqualified and the achievement should pop up. I had an extra minute when I completed the lap.

Just got the trophy with the following settings:
Circles - 2; Season - WINTER ; weather slot 1 - SNOW .
Car - LMP3 JS P3. It is a thousand times better than Formula X. It does not skid at all (all assistants are turned on, tire wear and damage are turned off). At Formula I spent 40 minutes just struggling with the car. I rode the JS P3 on the second try. The perfect machine - just try it and you will immediately see the difference. Gas 80-90% on almost all highways and speed 180-200 km/h. Turns like a glove. For even greater traction, I reduced the tire pressure to the lowest possible. The rest of the machine settings are by default.

In principle, any rapid prototype or formula will do. I was driving a Formula X, in the settings I turned off breakdowns and fines just in case, turned off my rivals, set the standing start and the weather to “snow”. We also make sure to select winter in the seasons, because with snow included in the summer, they didn’t give me a trophy. Then we just calmly drive around the circle without accidents or crashes, it is not forbidden to hit the curbs, the time reserve will be more than a minute.

The trophy is glitchy, it’s not clear why. Sometimes it doesn't fall the first time.
I made the following settings.
Season - Winter
Weather - Snow
Circles - 2
Auto - LMP3, Ligier JS P3
Fines included.
The rest is default.
Drive the route as carefully as possible.

The tips above are 100% not working at this point in time.
The trophy only appears when “Snow” is entered in the “season” line and not “Winter”. The weather was also set to “snow”.
I drove for more than one hour, not understanding what was happening at all. After changing just one setting, the trophy fell on the first try.
