How to unlock the TR3 At the Speed of a Meteor achievement in Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft - Definitive Guide
This is completed in Lara's Home in TR3 after obtaining the quad bike key from Lara's "Aquarium Room".
Or you can input the following code to spawn it into your inventory. Lara will say "no" if successful.
My advice would be to do a couple of laps to get a feel for the bike. Hold as much as you can and for a couple of tight corners let go of to get around without hitting the walls and accelerate out of your turn.
For the 2 very tight corners at the end tap to slow your bike down enough to get through smoothly.
Just don't touch the walls and don't use to drift. It'll only slow you down and the handling of the quad will change.

The track is located outside the front door beside the fountain. Use the key on the keyhole to open the gate to the track.My advice would be to do a couple of laps to get a feel for the bike.

Done in TR3 - Croft Manor.
First, you need to access the quad bike course. You can use a cheat code or the infamous corner bug to get there without the key, but I'll give some brief instructions on this for those who kind of remember what to do or those who are somewhat curious. There's plenty of text and video guides around the web on how to get there if you're completely new to the games and find following my guide too vague.
The moment you enter TR3's Croft Manor, head into the library, which is the room you start in on TR1 - Croft Manor.
In this room there's a fireplace. Opposite and slight to the right there's a book that sticks out. Press the action button on it and the fire will be temporarily turned off.
Climb up the chimney, push the block out the way and open the attic door. You'll want a clear path to the basement.
Head back to the hidden attic room and pull the lever. This will open up the timed basement door. Remember you have a sprint button in this game (RT in tank controls).
In the basement is an aquarium. Climb up into the aquarium through the ceiling hatch and grab the race key that's on the other side.
Head back and outside the front door into the manors gardens. To the left, where the maze used to be, use the key to enter the race course.
~~~
When you start, hold down the hand brake button (LT) and then hold Accelerate (A). You'll "rev up" on the spot. (alternatively you could just reverse a bit).
Blast forward and keep accelerate held down. Watch out for the bumps on the road as it can screw up the first right turn.
When you get to the U turn let of Accelarate briefly but then go back to holding it down. Be brave.
At the jump, hold left while avoiding holding Accelarate so that you don't smack into the wall opposite, slowing you down.
Follow the tunnel through and you'll get to these underground jumps. After the last jump, head left up the steep ramp.
This ramp is a little unreliable due to how steep and narrow it is. Avoid being too close to the wall or you'll bug out and get pushed backwards, setting you back too much.
Follow through and you'll pop back outside and can head straight to the exit.
The achievement will unlock the moment you beat the course below the required time.
Video below of me doing it in just over 35 seconds in case I didn't explain properly. I definitely could have improved certain parts but it shows just how much room you have to do this.

This is easy to achieve once you're familiar with the course. I do not recommend using LT(the handbrake) while turning as it's quite tricky to pull off correctly and only two of the turns could maybe use it (and it's totally possible to do this without needing to).~~~
