How to unlock the Master of the Line achievement in The Crew 2 - Definitive Guide
This event contains three parts flowing into each other:
- Hypercar (easy)
- Power Boat (easy-ish)
- Alpha GP (not easy at all)
The way I did it:
The key to win this event is to gain a huge lead on Clarence during the Power Boat race, then use this lead to win the GP race. For the latter, I had to upgrade my car to 291 to be even remotely able to win. I farmed upgrades by repeating the second Alpha GP event which is short and rather easy. The Power Boat should be upgraded as well, but it was sufficient to be able to enter and win all Power Boat events.
The entire Alpha GP section is on icy road, so your car will slip like crazy. If you leave the track, don't try to get back by accelerating but rather by simply steering or your car will swerve and you'll lose even more time. Also, trees are not your friend! If you hit one and don't have sufficient time on your opponent, it's race over as the AI seems to cheat on straight sections and never needs to brake in turns. Really take care to make perfect turns, don't accelerate into them but rather out of them and don't use nitro before turns or your car will again lose traction and possibly careen into one of the readily available trees.
On my winning attempt, my lead from the Power Boat section was 0.7 miles and I was able to extend that lead to 0.9 miles during the GP section, but that was without any driving errors. Take your time to learn the track - it's not even that difficult by design, just because it's so damn slippery.

I was having a hard time winning this race. Then I followed this guide, leveled up my Alpha GP to 291 and won on the first try. I took the Alpha portion at a moderate pace -- I primarily focused on staying on the road.

It seems Clarence is not immune to the icy roads. On my second attempt, he spun out of control near the beginning during one of the turns, and never recovered fast enough to hinder me. Naturally, I took full advantage of it and left him in the dust. Nevertheless, if fate doesn't favor you like that, try these vehicles and bits of advice.
Touring car: Upgraded to 270-something. Used the Ferrari FXX K. The first section of the race went smoothly with this car. I would recommend it, as its handling is generous.
Power boat: Upgraded to 160. Used the Vector V40R. I think this was more than enough, but it helped with building a huge gap between us, so the more the merrier. Avoid hitting rocks as you hurtle towards the AGP section.
Alpha GP car: Upgraded to 300. Used the Red Bull RB13. Assuming you have a decent lead: go at a reasonable speed, braking early and taking corners carefully, and you'll likely reach the finish line without too much trouble. I only went off the road twice because I was going fast, and didn't even crash despite that. A steady hand will lead the way.

Story related and cannot be missed.
To unlock this race, you need to complete 50% of the races in the Pro Racing family. You can see your progress by pressing then using the or buttons to select "Activities". This is a three part race. First you will be in a touring car followed by a power boat and then finally an Alpha GP vehicle. It is a quick race and you should not have any trouble in winning. In the third part of the race, Clarence tends to crash at a particular corner. I tried the race three times and he crashed in two of those.

To race this boss you need a touring car, a boat and a car, so I recommend that you don't waste time on air racing.
