Here's the steps I took to complete all the missions at Platinum level.
1) Level each spec of car to atleast a 1250 or higher.
2) I used the 370z as my street car, the Lambo Aventer as my perf car, the ruf (Miami dealer one) for my dirt car, the charger as my raid car, and the charger also as my circuit car.
3) To get platinums you have to finish each mission as clean and fast as possible.
RACES- you have to be out in front as soon as possible to get the bonus at the end of scoring to make platinum. (this is easy if you fill the perk for full nitrous in missions)
FOLLOWING- you have to be as close as possible the whole race
TAKEDOWNS- you have to take down the target in less than a minute of time for platinum. High level cars and using nitrous as you go for the hits add more damage. Side hits take more than rearending them
COLLECTING CRATES- you have to make fast clean runs mot missing a single crate till you reach 80. Should have close to 50 seconds left in time to get a platinum.
Most were easy to do per region but had 2 per state that were a little annoying. Look for short cuts in some races your having a hard time not getting there fast enough. The main race line (if you use it) doesn't show the fastest route.

Hey Guido, thanks for providing the images. We are currently aware of this issue for and the development team is currently working on a fix that we hope will be available in the next update. Please get back in touch if the issue remains when the next update is available.
Still hasn't popped for me. I was awarded "I love Gold" but "The Extra Mile" is still locked. Several other people on the Ubisoft forums also still don't have it after the update.

A petition to try & get Ubisoft to get this thing fixed.
4 times, a lot random, a lot co-op but no progression, we need more tips from guys unlock it, please guys post, thanks!
I boot the game for a session... OK
The achievement popped ??? I don't have all the platinum... LOL
Bummer.. and it was such a grind.
So I got both the gold and platinum awards but NOT the achievement. Anyone else encounter this? Any fix to it?
Thanks.
Also, any news on anyone managing to unlock it? From doing an extra mission where it says you havent done?
I did all mission yesterday for platinum, and the achievent isn't popped.
Ubisoft....thx
I know this kind of method works in Trials Fusion (another Ubi game, which looks convenient).
Was really hopeful it would work!
Got all Platinums and the game says I'm only at 80% Platinum, so somehow at least 10 missions are bugged for me. Unbelievable.
but i play the game since 2 days ago , last achievement was february 2015
- Started Ultimate edition with all DLC installed
- Did the prologue missions (doing badly to intentionally get bronze/silver) until you're free to do other stuff
- Repeat the Calling All Units mission 'Mob Driver' in New York until character level 50 (to unlock the ability to Platinum events). It's a very short mission (~30 sec), about 60-70 minutes total.
- Complete all story missions, go for Platinum straight away. Avoid any other activities (I cancelled every skill using the pause menu that I accidentally started). Got most of them first try, if not I just repeated them immediately.
- Extra Mile unlocked once I repeated the 2-3 story missions at the beginning of the game
After that I went for Versatile Showman (in a single session) and it unlocked as well.
I did all missions with beginning car Nissan 370Z,
i played only the story missions.
As of right now, I have 18/65 medals, which is 27%. That's what the Award is at in my game, so I believe it's not glitched, yet.
What I did was after preparing all the cars I needed to 1432, which requires level 60, which also meant I was level 60 before starting this, but I'm sure you can be level 50 and be in the 1300s just fine. I just did so much grinding that I automatically hit 60, a lot of that from the police DLC mission other people mention for money/level farming, Mob Driver. But yeah after getting them all there, I did the entire story, all platinums, in a single "session" meaning I was never logged out, the daily/weekly challenges always showed up just fine in my menu, the NAT type was open when logging in, etc. Weirdly just before I started I got disconnected for instability, which happened to a lot of people it seems. But I was able to restart the game (I always fully restart after disconnects), log in, and stay logged in the entire time I did the story. Probably took me idk 15-17 hours, total, stopping for a break at 44%, checking after every single mission. (Awards > PvE >Mission A > bottom right).
So while I left to go sleep, to ensure I was never logged out, I just had an afk cronus script run, since rubber banding isn't enough it seems. I actually wondered if that instability message might make it more of a risk to run into other real people, so I left myself in the middle of nowhere running into a random utility building before going to bed.
I started by just going with the next available story mission, and not moving on to another mission until I'd platinumed it, stopping only to repair vehicles and nothing else, rather than starting from the beginning with Driving Test, so that's the only mission I had left over. And yes that means I did it after V8 which I did have to do, and the % went up with every single race other than a few that aren't replayable, so don't worry if those don't add to your %.
Cars I used:
Ford Focus for dirt and raid
Lamborghini Huracan for performance
Nissan 370z for street
and McLaren 12c for circuit
I also had the Nissan skyline gt-r leveled up in every spec because it's solid at everything it does, and I used it for a few. It just has super good stats and controls well. The acceleration can come in clutch. Don't be afraid to exit out of a mission to switch cars if necessary. I did that a few times.
The reason I took a break at 44% was because iirc that was one where the % had gone up by 2 instead of 1. My thinking was, if the theory that decimals maybe get lopped off incorrectly upon quitting is true, then I'd not want to leave myself open to a potential disconnect during the night after the % only went up by 1, in case that left a sizeable hanging decimal that might affect rounding. No idea if that's really a factor, but I saw someone else here mention it so I went for it, but like I said, it was unneeded since I never got disconnected. If you don't have a way of staying logged in, I'd recommend trying that just in case. Just quit after your % goes up by 2 rather than 1. And the other idea I would have is make sure that your ISP or network or whatever it is that could be going on allow you to see challenges. For some reason I can only see two of them right now, but whatever. I can see and progress the Short challenge if I want to. So maybe try ensuring those show too maybe? That's all I got. Hope this helps someone.
Managed to get all the PDUs with no issue. So my next headache is just the PVP podium achievement.

=(I did some co op however)
I tried redoing a few random missions and getting platinum medals like other people have but it didn't work for me.
I ended up redoing and getting platinum medals for all the missions in The Midwest AND The West Coast all over again and the achievement still didn't unlock (stuck at 98% in the awards section).
I sent a email on the Ubisoft support site but I'm not sure how much good it will do me. Only time will tell.
In the mean time I'm thinking of redoing all the missions in The East Coast, The South, and The Mountain States again to see if that works but I'm honestly losing hope and a heck of a lot of patience for this.
My problem is when I go to (Awards -> PvE -> Mission A) the "The Extra Mile" award in the "Mission A" category is stuck at 98% even though I've completed every mission with a platinum medal.
The funny thing is the "I Love Gold" award (Earn a Gold medal on 64 missions) is also stuck at 98%.
I've checked my statistics and they say I've gotten platinum on everything.
I even redid EVERY SINGLE MISSION with a platinum medal and it still didn't unlock.
This achievement is definitely glitched and currently unobtainable for me.
I've sent a ticket on Ubisoft's support website and posted on The Crew's support forum so there's not much we can do but wait and hope that they decide to fix it.
@wes coasn - He said Charger actually, and there's 2 different ones by the way.
@StoneAgeMachine - Doesn't help everyone having this problem. I did the whole game with a friend. Afterwards, I took note of every single mission that we were awarded a Platinum medal for and made sure to replay every one solo and get another Platinum in it. Still no achievement for me. I'm still going to try to replay some more random missions (did 1 already) and hope that it magically pops, but this appears to be a somewhat common problem. Ivory Tower did some pretty impressive things with the design of this game, but they seriously jacked up a lot of "simple" things with Awards that don't track or pop when they should and this stupid achievement being glitched for many people.

Hi greenxb,
Thank you for contacting Ubisoft Support.
My name is Andrew and I am sorry that this achievement has not unlocked for you. I myself am an achievement hunter (currently working my way through AC: Unity).
This is not a known issue as other players have successfully unlocked this achievement.
We have also tested all of the achievements / trophies on all platforms and have successfully unlocked them all.
If you are having an issue with achievements that relates to your XBox gamertag, we recommend contacting Microsoft Support directly.
Please note that Ubisoft is unable to unlock any Xbox achievements as these are unlocked on the Microsoft servers.
If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Kind Regards,
Andrew

looks like the don't care.....what a surprise....
I knew it was not going to work, as I still had every car, but replayed the 2 missions that my awards sections says I am only 50% on (been a long time, forget the names, one in a swamp and one in downtown atlanta I think)
Nothing... I thought I hated Ubisoft after the Rayman Legends grind to 100%.
This is a whole new level of F U...
So like a sucker, I reinstalled (third time) checked my list.
According to awards section I am missing either 5-10s or Round Two - as it shows 50%.
Tried both - platinum on both - no pop.
In the interest of being VERY thorough, went through all 65 missions again - in a row - over a 3 day span.
Platinum on all, no pop.
No 2 ways about it, it is simply glitched.
I won't say I will never play another UBI game, there are some I already own, and then the ones that come up free games with gold...
But I will never spend another cent with a company that will not fix known glitches in a game they are still cranking out paid DLC for.
That is the part that is really bad. It wasn't like they were done, moved on, so sorry.
They were still actively making PAID DLC for the game, and could not be bothered to fix a simple glitch.
But The Crew 1 is still fun today, really varied and also pleasing graphically. Not comparable to today's games. I had it almost platinum "back then" on the PS 4, except for the "extra mile". I also recently played through Driver San Francisco again on Xbox. Another great game from Ubisoft. Previously on too the Playstation already. I was lucky and was able to get a Collector's Edition.
1. Played the game for about 20 mins, did a few story missions again just in case that worked (it didn't). I saw one uncomplete mission on the map, it turned out to be the introduction mission to the DLC which I don't own.
2. Returned to the main menu.
3. When to sign out of my account through the Xbox menu, not the in game menu, accidentally signed in with a second account instead of signing out with my main account.
4. After the game returned to the main menu with my second account, signed out correctly with my main account and then the second account.
5. The game tried to return to the main menu but with no account logged in it prompted to log in, logged in with my main account.
6. Clicked Continue to load back into the game, and the achievement popped.

Thanks!
I'm just going to hope I get lucky and be one of those ppl who login after a patch and it pops.
Never did any multiplayer missions before doing all plats.
Damn Ubisoft! :|

not happy
I know in there big picture one or two customers don't matter.....but if it makes me happy. so be it.
Keep in mind there are skills in your HQ that are improving car stats, allowing you to make any car you drive faster, especially useful when the mission forces you into a premade car. Make sure to put your skill points into Nitrous, Handling, Max Speed, and Acceleration related skills, if you see you don't have enough because you've spent them on something else, just make a skill reset, it's not expensive at all.
Also, try to avoid using "back on track", as not only does it slows you down time-wise, but also deducts the points from the final result multiplied by the times you used "back on track". The crate runs don't have to be constantly fast or even precise, most of the time you can miss 3-4 crates on the way to the final location where there are many crates, just try to avoid major slow-downs and crashes/spinning out. The advice regarding the pace also applies to delivery missions and time trials don't try to go fast, try to go smart, and take the safest path when going off-road, bumps can ruin your run easily, so go a bit slower than you think you can, but not too slow. Don't press the gas pedal whenever you're in the air until you land, landing with full throttle usually results in your car losing traction and spinning out, this advice applies to all three surfaces: asphalt, dirt, and full off-road.
The takedowns sometimes are tough time-wise, you want to pin down the target in a position where they cannot escape if you hit them hard the first time. Make sure the first hit is the hardest one, and make sure the nitro is still burning as you hit the target, if you used the nitro but hit the target's car while you're not using it - the damage will be lesser. Try to learn the behavior of the target, where or when they slow down, and you can easily catch up and deliver a hard hit. In some takedowns, there are immediate shortcuts, like the target taking a more round path while it's possible to drive straight to the next section.
Then at some point the trophies and achievements came. They were a nice change and new challenge and it was fun to unlock them, you were proud of your achievements.
But then things started to get more complicated. You had to search for videos and read forums to unlock certain achievements.
Then at some point the developers ran out of ideas and “invented” such stupid achievements in racing games as “Circle the entire world once”. Totally annoying, tedious, monotonous and also unnecessarily energy-consuming. Like here in this game: "Indy Car Racer" + overclocker.
But where things get really bad is “extra mile”. Nothing against you, but when I read your very good instructions and those of other users, I wonder whether it's still about a game. I have the feeling that you have to study soon and become unemployed in order to be able to unlock certain achievements.
I was almost platinum on the PS4 in 2015. I was just missing the extra mile.
Now 10 years later I started playing on the Xbox again at the end of November. I've also unlocked almost all of the achievements, except for the three:
1. Extra mile (I actually stuck to the many requirements to do everything except for everything in one sitting)
2. podium placement (probably no longer technically feasible in 2023)
3 . meeting new people (probably also bugged - instead of 2k people you now have to meet 20k people). I'm now at 80% and have met 17k people. Again, very time and electricity intensive.
I don't know, maybe I'm just too old for the whole thing, but it doesn't have much to do with fun anymore.
Nobody forces me to do it, but as a perfectionist you would like to have all the achievements.
One thing is time-consuming, but an unfixed bug for over 10 years, like the extra mile, is more than annoying. Above all, you can't just restart again, you have to ask Ubisoft to delete your game data.
The message shouldn't be that long, sorry.
I don't know if I'm alone in this opinion (I hope not), that the whole thing is going in the wrong direction.
Another point is: the servers will be shut down at the end of March 2024. We all paid real money for the game and put a lot of time into it, so at least it should still be available offline.
But like I said, I'm probably just too old for the whole thing. :-(

NOTE: There have been several reports of this achievement not unlocking, I'll go over that shortly.
To start off, here are the following cars I have used for each mission type.
Perf - Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 tuned to 1373.
Street - Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) tuned to 1341.
Dirt - Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) tuned to 1271.
Raid - Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) tuned to 1094.
Circuit - Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 tuned to 849. (These races were easy and not many, so I didn't put much effort into this spec)
The easiest way to level up your cars is to do the skill mission "Scramble Skill 12" located at the Chicago Airport. Come at the start point from the North-West. (This seems to be the easiest at getting Platinum medals)
Now that you have your cars to spec, go into the missions and go about them each as fast as you can. For raids, if going after them in a certain order doesn't work, go after them another way. Sometimes, the best route isn't the one you might think first. Remember, you can afford to miss a stack here and there if it means you keep your speed.
Play each mission several times and look for short-cuts or places to go off-road if it'd be faster. If you screw up, start again.
Also, it helped me to go for platinums starting from the missions I got a gold on, then silver, then bronze. (Bronze were first missions or harder ones, so I saved them for last)
Remember! If you pull up your map and click the left thumb-stick (Open Driver ID) you can scroll to statistics and go under "Leaderboards" to see how many platinum medals you have unlocked. Click on a region then hit missions to see your medal for each mission.
If this helped at all, please let me know!
EDIT: I forgot about the glitch. If the achievement does not pop up when you have finished everything, go through the missions again or go through Skills and hopefully it will unlock. If that doesn't work, then I am sorry. I have no solution other than trying skills or doing the missions again.

He will often trounce the times/scores etc but don't worry if you're not so close it's probably worth finishing the race to see if you still get the platinum, for example on the race 'Whiteout' he got a time of 5:01, I got a time of 5:14 and still got the platinum.
Note: Some races have multiple stages, for example a loot pick up followed by a follow section, when you hit options and press restart it will restart the section and not the entire mission which is very useful if things go awry.
When on YouTube remember to hit CTRL+F and type in the race name to find it easier.
I used a RUF3400 K for all specs apart from the street spec for which I used the Skyline. You don't need the best car for each spec but of course it's gunna make things a bit easier.
Feel free to comment any suggestions.

This achievement will be the biggest challenge of the game, and so the first step is to finish all the story missions with any medal, and reach level 50 so you’re able to earn platinum medals and unlock platinum tuning parts for your cars. It is recommended that you own cars in all five specs that are around level 1200+.
The next part is to identify the best car to use for each spec. You're free to experiment with different cars at your own expense, but generally these are the strongest vehicles for each spec.
-Street: Mini Cooper S, Nissan Skyline
-Dirt: Nissan 350Z, Ford Focus RS, Mustang GT 2011
-Perf: Koenigsegg Agera R, Lamborghini Murcielago
-Raid: Nissan 350Z, Hummer H1, Ford SVT Raptor
-Circuit: Lamborghini Murcielago, Bentley Continental
