The Crew

This is friggin brill! Kicking myself for wasting so much time before now! 😂😂😂 Thank you.

No problem at all and glad it helped you out!

Would you still have to press A if you, rubber banded the joysticks too?
Last achievement looking to make it less painful :D

I did try the rubber band but sadly it will disconnect you even if you do this, you still have to press A.
It's a shame because that would have made this even better.

How can you tell what vehicle your mileage is on? I am 99% but cannot tell what vehicle is there.

Outburzt- go through your car lists if you don't remember which car you put 4,000+ miles on. Bottom left corner shoes odometer:)

As of 2017 this is the fastest and easiest method of getting this achievement. I hope this makes it as the top solution.

+1

Can confirm May 23rd 2017 this method still works. Went to salt flats, got circuit car over 200mph and did above steps and odometer goes up, checked twice to make sure. UPVOTE TO TOP SPOT!

That is great I'm glad it is still helping people.
This achievement is quite grinding so it's good that there is a way to sort of get it quicker.
Let's hope there isn't a similar achievement in The Crew 2

Genius, simply genius! I was able to take my car from 1000 to 5000 miles with just a few hours a day. Thanks for posting the solution.

Still working into April 2018. Looks like it won't be patched with The Crew 2 coming out soon.

Still working on March 22, 2021. Best solution for this stupid achievement

I'm confused. Do you let go of RT in step 4? You have to press RT to enter demo.

yeah but only briefly.

also im noticing this trick doesnt work for me over long time. i managed to get only 300 miles in 8 hours. Whenever i exited a few times, i had stopped gaining mileage at about 100 miles even when the times between exiting hq were different.

Worked perfectly for me. Did it with a drag car that can do a bit over 300mph. Starting from 0 miles it took about 16-17 hours.

Can someone explain to me how to do it? I didn't understand the guide and I don't know the place, is there any video?

Thanks for this, I used this to AFK up to around 4900 miles and then drove the final 100 miles legit. The Award popped in game at 5010 miles and the achievement popped at the same time. Thanks

Worked perfectly for me. In metric you need about 8050kms, which took me about 8 hours of idling on top of the mileage I accumulated chasing other achievements.

Can someone confirm if the max speed of a car is crucial for getting faster progress towards the miles/km? Because my car with the most km on is at 3.500km and has a max speed of 260km/h. If I would use my dragster with a max speed over 500km/h and 200km total would it still be faster to reach the 8.000km?

Yeah thanks, I wasn't sure if the ingame math works the same like it would in real life, but why wouldn't it. Already got the achievement by now, driving the dragster instead of the car with the further progress

I've managed to get this to work with a turbo band to idle. Once you get to step 4 to rubber band down RT activate turbo on that button and leave it as long as you want. I tried to turbo boost however that didn't seem to work.

Agreed with HIDDENxGECKO. The method still works as of me writing this message. Get this 5k and then figure out how to fix the platinum bugs...

Giincee said:do the math: 4500 / 260 = ~17h of grinding at top speed
7800 / 500 = ~15h of grinding at top speed

The miles on the speedometer reset each day. Or when you get back on the game. But the progress still counts.

No your odometer actually has to read 5,000 miles exactly.. That's why only 7 ppl have the achievement. If it carried over each day way more people would have it

Yeah I can also confirm the odometer needs tor each 5000 miles, so this has to be done in one sitting basically until they fix it.

Congrats btw. ^^

If the data was saved on the system, resets wouldn't be an issue. If you're going to delay a game for nearly a year, and come out with these problems (especially ones that still persist over a month after release), it's genuinely worrying. Stupid Ubisoft and their sub-par servers

I can confirm this is the only way to do it, I've noted all the miles on my dirt spec skyline over multiple sessions ( currently at 6127 miles ) and the achievement hasn't unlocked due to speedo miles resetting each day

Can you rubber band A controller to dive in circles I can't play for 30 hours straight

Nope you will bounce off walls and wreck and eventually be stuck up against a wall

Ohh I was asking if I could rubber band at like the salt flats and sleep than get back on and drive

Same thing you will most likely get stuck on trees or buildings less than 10 miles in and get barely any progress

That. Blows I cant play for 30 hours straight

Theres a trick you can do but you'll still have to drive all the miles yourself. When you can pay just drive around the little eagle speedrome and when you have to stop playing for the day just start up a solo story mission.. Once it starts pause the mission and go to bed or whatever. Then when you can play again just unpause and go back to the speedrome for more miles

Things might be looking up, my odometer hasn't reset for three days.

Maybe they actually fixed it.. I think that's when the latest patch was

Forget my last comment, normal service resumed today.

Oh great! Yesterday I had 2223km (again). Today I am down to 471km :(
I thought they fixed it because before my km were back at 0km every day...

Nice find, DC.

I can confirm that the miles reset still i had (3500) miles and I am at 450 miles now :(

If it resets every day then how did you do it in 30 hours? That's more than one day

It doesn't reset every day.. It resets when you login to the game

well nobody mentioned that, you all only said resets each day. be clear

Does it count for all versions of a single car or just one body?

One body

do the resets only happen to some people? because I bought the game on tuesday and have been playing since with no resets. I always turn my console off when I'm done playing, too.

So is this fixed now?

Yes this was fixed in the last patch so it shouldn't reset any more. I haven't had any problems since then.

lol in one run bhahahahaha

My last achievement :)

I'm going to give everyone here the best method of doing this in my opinion as you only have to pay attention for a second every 6 minutes rather than driving yourself around a track for 20 hours.

1st off - top up your circuit spec car - i got mine to 1359 by redoing jump skill 23 near Washington about 80 times (20 secs each) - throw on a podcast or a movie.

2nd - go to the bonneville salt flats. There's a summit marker in the middle that you'll be doing a circle around. Fast travel near there - not directly on it.

3rd - Looking at the map with North at the top, you're going just past the summit marker at the 7 o clock position. get some elastics to hold your trigger and left stick in these positions. I found some of my gf's leftover hair elastics that worked great. I double wrapped the left stick to keep it tight and wrapped it around the back notch. The trigger was easy - just wrap it to the bottom of the right hand where you palm normally goes.

4th - You're going to want to make sure the acceleration is all the way in and rotating the left stick enough to get your speed to stay constant around 200 mph. My car could go as fast as 250 without nitrous but i found the sweet spot to be 200 mph to keep you going in a constant circle and not hitting any objects. I found i could go for a while at higher speeds so this can be at your discretion but found I never had a problem with 200 mph and it won't add too much more time to doing this. Hit up on the d-pad and make sure you're not going over any roads throughout your circle.

5th - this is the hardest part of the ordeal because its extremely annoying - set a timer on your phone to go off every 6-10 minutes. To keep from your session from being idle, hit the a (nitrous) button for as little effect as possible. That's all that you need to remain in the session. Now, if you're doing this from scratch, this will take 25 hours at 200 mph. You don't have to do this in one session - i myself started this endeavour with 1500 miles on the odometer and did this over multiple days while watching movies, tv shows, documentaries that I was going to watch anyway.

6th - don't be discouraged if you have to reset your car. Once i figured out my groove to this, it was a relatively minor ordeal to reset the car's position. You're going to crash multiple times as theres two random groups of stationary trailers and cars you may hit. You're going to forget to set the timer, or forget to prevent your session from going idle. You can reset your car even with the elastics remaining on the controller. There are also some people who hit your car as there is a drag strip with a skill challenge going through your circle and there were times when there were as many as 6 other players in the vicinity of my circle and they hit me a couple times (accidently or on purpose). Don't get discouraged at the start if its not working. Keep messing around with it until you get your own sweet spot and from there it's extremely simple.

Hey A1ienspacebats...that worked brilliantly

OK that trick is nice i was looking for a way around getting kicked that's all I can do that

Let's hope for February 12th:

How can you check how much you've done so far

Go to your awards by clicking LS on the map, Freedrive, Elite I think? and it's the first award on the second row I think.

Yea I think it's not resetting anymore or at least it didn't yesterday lol

Does it count for all versions of a single car or just one body?

I think it's just a single spec for a car.

Still glitched. After 24 hours on the Speedway, 7 % progression. Even with a 340 Z, that is too slow.

how do you check progress for this?
