How to unlock the Do You Smell Somethin'? achievement in Project Cars - Definitive Guide

In order to get the brakes up to 1000oC you will need something fast and with good brakes, which is why the Formula A is perfect for this.

From the main menu choose 'Solo' and then setup a race with a track with a long straight like Road America or Nurburgring and choosing the Formula A car.

Then once the race begins race until you reach the long straight and try to get up to full speed in 7th gear, then once there hold both cn_LT AND cn_RT to make sure that the car carries on speeding a bit whilst braking to really heat the brakes up. The achievement should pop just as you stop.

Here's a video

I got this when trying to do the 60-0 in 2 seconds achievement.

Chose the Formula A on Nurburgring in Time Trial. When the race started, I accelerated a little bit then braked hard. Wasn't even doing in excess off 100mph. This popped before I got Emergency Stop :)

I got this one at the end of a Kart race when I wasn't even trying for it.

While you're still in the pits, go into your Formula A's set-up and go to the cooling ducts - set them to fully closed. The brakes will heat up even faster.

Brake assistance has to be set to NO in options!

Great solution. My car never fully stopped (slowed from 7th gear to 1st, then just went back and forth between 1st and 2nd), but just continue holding LT and RT and it will pop.

If like to add I could not get it making out my speed, but rather it popped up while I held in lt and rt in 1st gear. Could this be another solution?

Riding your brakes also heats them up. Apply gentle LT and drive round the circuit as normal.

Short guide w/ vid: in Solo, choose Road America, pick Formula A car, on the straightaway reach 195+ MPH and hit brakes hard, hold accelerator all the way down as well, as you take turn achievement will pop.

Pro Tip: unless you're very skilled, I suggest having Traction Control ON, otherwise you won't be able to control such a powerful car.

Make your brakes reach a temperature of 1000° C

The settings I Used -
Dubai Autodrome National race track. (Use any track where there is a straight line so you can pick up enough speed)

Formula A race Car.

Make sure Braking assistance and anti lock brakes switched off.

When you get up enough speed into 7th gear towards the end of the straight hold down the brake while still accelerating (cn_R2 + cn_L2) and you should get a temp of over 1000 degrees.

You will 100% unlock this during your LMP2 career on Azure Circuit. Just keep using the brake very often and the race engineer will warn you that they are overheating prompting this to unlock.

This trophy is best attempted with the Formula A cars. Simply driving around a track will earn you this trophy as your mechanic will give you several warnings to cool the brakes. Repeated braking from high speeds will speed the process up as well.
