yeah, maybe its the idle that i'm stuck

i was starting race and letting the AI pilot with the 'pause' menu opened till race finish

I don't know for sure for the settings, but to be safe you could leave collisions on. ghosting and corner cutting strictness probably don't matter, rules should be on I'm pretty sure though. I don't think idle would work since you have to actually finish the races for the achievements.
Odrano Well? 18 Mar, 2022 @ 6:58am 
and also, can I do idle online races?
Odrano Well? 18 Mar, 2022 @ 6:49am 
any settings needed for clean races? like colisions ON/OFF, ghosting ON/OFF, Coner Cutting Strict?

Okay, thanks drummer. I have always thought as long as I am not in the race management it must be a clean race.
Drummer  [author] 10 Jan, 2022 @ 11:57am 
I don't think it's broken as I got it myself, though it took me way more than just 10 tries. Just make sure you have absolutely no contact with other cars and don't even go off track as it will invalidate it.

The achievement Clean me does not work for me even though I drove 10 rankings. Yeah, I kept a line list. Do I have to do this in a league or friendly game? Is the achievement broken. I don't understand. Can you help me?
