How to unlock the Race Ace achievement in Warframe - Definitive Guide

There are a Total of 22 K-drive races. Only 5 races will be available every day. The green lights on the map show the position of the races currently available, sometimes the same race can also be available the following day, as a result you could only get 2 or 3 new races every day.

This is a very good map for all Fortuna activity: https://www.framemastery.com/orb-vallis-map/ it's not my creation, credits goes to: Frame Mastery toast

Not a fan of people creating solutions without first earning it themselves. Plus, it would be nice to have screenshots or something to help us locate them.

@ICE Faux Pirate They show up on the mini map when you get close, not hard to find using that map at all. What I want to know is how people unlocked the achievement so fast?

@The Allslayer, fair enough but I'm still never a fan of people posting solutions until they have it themselves, especially when it's someone else's content.

@MG Dano296 Doesn't do that for me, got the achievement now. Just to add onto what daamdaam said the races that shouldn't be active don't show on the map when you get close, you have to find the NPC.

@UNeakOne One of mine is glitched too. I'm 99% certain it's Grinding the Void, the one that's NW of Temple of Profit. I kept track of all of them up to this point, even their names. I'm sure I saw the counter pop up for all the other ones except this one. I'm planning on doing the rest of them again just to make sure but I think I'm screwed...

If you have all 22 K-Drive Races with a checkmark on your Orb Vallis Map, and your Achievement progress is stuck below 22, then check the Leaderboards of the current day. For me, I did not have had an entry on one K-Dive Race (Taxman's Curve), and after doing it again, it worked!

You're missing Frost Merchant. It's the 2nd most southern race. (SW of the Spaceport)

My cheevo is still glitched. I'm still working on retrying them all in hopes it pops at some point.
@CyberneticHFX or anyone else, how do you check the leaderboards past the first few positions shown? Is there a way? If so that would be a great way of checking to see if there's one that didn't complete for me.

@ ICE Faux Pirate
If you click the menu button, then go to Profile, and then Leaderboards, you can filter down to personal ranking for all K-Drive Races. However, it seems to reset each day, limiting the usefulness to only the 5 active races.

I don't know what game acid is playing, but you can definitely only do the 5 active races each day. The rest are nowhere to be seen. Been sitting here with 1 left for almost a week now...

Host migration method doesn't work for me. Only able to do 5 races per day. Maybe some people got lucky and it glitched for them to do all the races, but after trying for a couple hours I can guarantee only 5 races can be done per day.

Alright, managed to get the host migration method to work. Did it a bunch of times with no success (no races would appear), but then it just randomly decided to work. Never got kicked to the Fortuna hub either, always stayed out on the field. Very odd, but at least I can confirm it does still work... when it feels like it.

I also somehow got it to work. Randomly left a squad when I was playing publicly. Went to host migration, but stayed out in Orb Vallis and never got kicked back to Fortuna. The only thing was that the daily races were the only ones that would appear with the purple board icon. The rest I had to find by setting my waypoints.

@Skullys33, did you ever get it to work for you? I've triple checked all the races but I'm still stuck at 95% with one race missing. It's definitely glitched for me.

I'm at 3/22 races. I don't see any free dots popping up on my map. But if you find them they are purple dot. But you have to every close to them to find them.

Tried leaving public matches to make them all spawn and it never seemed to work. Got lucky tonight though, the guy was there but the purple icon didn't show up on the map after I left a public match. Thank god, all I've needed is the one by the Transit Depot for about a fucking week.

It sucks that you can only do 5 random races a day. I'm only missing 1 more race and I know which one it is that I'm missing. I've tried praying to RNGesus, but it's been nearly 2 weeks and it still hasn't spawned for me. It's kind of frustrating.

Not sure if it's bugged or just I'm getting some insanely bad luck but I've not seen Fortuna's Folly appear for probably about 2 weeks now. Been logging in daily to check and it's just never there.

And if course it appears the next day. Typical.

Actually, all races are available. The 5 active races are visible on the mini map. The inactive ones are just a bit harder to find, but they’re there. You can do all in the one day. Use the link in the solution to set your waypoints.

So i did a race i never completet before and after i finished the race i didn‘t got a count for the in-game tracker. Someone else experienced something like that? My cheevo tracker says 68% but it should be at 72% or 73% with 16 complete races!

The available race markers are purple and appear on the map only when you're near one or are mounted on your K-Drive. As is typical for Warframe, courses tend to repeat 2 or 3 days in a row so near the end you'll likely get one or none of the races left on your list. I've had only one new race be available for me these past 3 days and I still have 6 to go.
LATER: 4 races left and I got 2 days in a row with all repeats. Glad I'm still grinding up for Ride or Die and K-Driven.

The Jovian Concord update has trivialized this achievement. With the update, you can now view which 5 races are active on a given day by simply mounting your K-Drive and opening up the full map of the Orb Vallis (hold the button). There will be 5 purple icons scattered across the map. Simply visit these 5 locations every day after reset (8:00 p.m EST during the summer) and do the races until you eventually get all 22 done. This will also help you reach max rank with the Ventkids quickly, as well as level up your K-Drives for that sweet MR.

Be sure to tell others about this change, as it was undocumented in the patch notes, and the only place I could find this information was on the wiki, and from a comment on the formerly updated map the community made, linked in the other solutions.

For more information on the races check out the wiki page here: https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/K-Drive_Race

Edit: The races only appear on the map after you have constructed a K-Drive using parts purchased with Ventkids standing. The initial, stolen K-Drive will not cause the races to appear (Credit: OLOT).

Edit 2: Apparently the races can now be viewed on the map while riding the default free board (Credit: UltimateHero128).

The wiki seems to confirm this:

"Hotfix 25.7.6
Fixed K-Drive races not appearing properly on the minimap when using the default K-Drive from the Vox Solaris Quest."

FYI, this only works if you’ll built your first board. If you’re using the free one that they gave you during the quest then you won’t see the purple icons on the map.

For me and enough other people this worked: (also remember they patch this game a lot).

Join a public game and leave squad (you will see host migration, but you will still be on orb valis). Then use this map https://www.framemastery.com/orb-vallis-map/ (or use YouTube) to know where all the races can be found.

For some odd reason all of them will show up and you can race all of them in one go.

Remember that most of them will not show up on you mini map, so sometimes it will be a bit harder to spot them straight away.

I can't get this to work no matter how many times I join a public and leave. Ended up doing it the old fashion way of waiting for the races to randomly generate.

K-Drive Races are free roam missions for the Ventkids that are run by Boon in the Orb Vallis. The goal of each race is to pass through as many gates as possible while mounting a K-Drive and then reach the final gate within a time limit. Completing the race will earn the player Standing for the Ventkids.

There are 22 races scattered across the Orb Vallis, however only 5 are active at a time. The active races refresh daily, at the same time as Daily Tribute and Standing limits. You can check the currently-available races by mounting your K-Drive and then opening the map.

Names
Anyo's Ointment, Bomb the Spaceport, Breakdown or Bust, Catalyst, Deathgrip, Dog Line, Fortuna's Folly, Frost Merchant, Grinding the Void, Kubrodon Twist, Lord of the Board, Meat and Greet, Mumsie Dadsie, Pobber's Drop, Puffin' Pastures, River Run, Roky's Roll, Shaving Nef, Skeggin' Out, Sky-Eye, Taxman's Curve, The Hard Way

Completing all 22 races will grant you the Race Ace achievement.

There are a total of 22 K-Drive races on Orb Vallis. They rotate daily 5 per day in a random sample. I recommend taking note of the races you have finished so you know which ones you still need to do. When you are on Orb Vallis hop onto your K-drive and look at the map, the races for that day will be marked on the map.

There are a total of 22 original races in the location, but 5 of them are on the map at a time, every day 2-3 races change, the process is random. Each of the 22 original races is always in its permanent place, we ride, find, perform.

Sometimes there is a bug and all races are available at once. The main thing is that the race starts without problems; go to the location without a task. It is precisely because of the task that it is not always possible to start the race. Today I just completed all the races at once.
