Online Professional (60G) -- Win 3 Races in a Row, Finish a Clean Race, Start Last/Finish First, Finish 50 races, Win every scenario.
Alright guys and gals...I'm sure I am not the only one who really wants to get this achievement. What hurts is that I have this achievement on my other gamertag that I have long abandoned because it is corrupted. Regardless, I need a few people to help me get this achievement, and as always I shall return the favor.
After experimenting with a few games, I have made a few quick notes on the way the matchmaking system works in PGR3..(not very well), but there are some ways around it that we can use to get matched up. I need 3 others who still need this achievement, however; there are some requirements for those to be able to join and make matchmaking easy.
1)Location: You must be in the following to be matched up fast and correctly. (Canada, United States)
*I'm not trying to to discriminative to our British and European brothers but this is a big part of matchmaking.
2)Level: You must be above a level 10 in your PGR3 online career. The matchmaking system distinguishes between 15 points between levels. So 1-10 will be matched up, 10-30, and finally 30-50. I am level 26 at the moment and will be trying to level down to about a 20 today to make it easier.
*For those who are under level 10, play a few Gotham Duel races for they are quick and you will always get matched. Only need to win 1 or 2 races to get to level 11-15 so it should be easy.
3)Peer Review: It makes it easier by 15-20% for all of us to be matched up if you leave good player feedback to your fellow racers, so upon entering the lobby just leave 3 good feedback messages to all who are joining the cause. Easy.
So do I have any takers?

You must be committed and trustworthy, we are all helping each other. I only need 4 more scenarios and have completed all other requirements, but I am willing to help all who join until you receive your achievement.
Take care, good luck, have fun and lets do this!

Outcast I have checked your driving record and its perfect. I also checked the fact that you always have tried getting the achievement in the past but got pushed around...and I feel for ya, I have been meaning to make a good organized team for a while.We will get this achievement. We need a dedicated and unselfish team if we need to get this done, so anyone who considers themselves a good sport and would like the achievement please let me know.
Remember...you don't need to be a great racer, we are just boosting.

We have three people thus far, and more can join, much more than 4, but we need to be organized and ready to allow for the first come first serve idea to flourish. If we have a lot of people trying to get matched up...chances are we shall get a party. So if you need it and are in North America or UK...please feel free to demand a position. Thanks.

Yup your stats are perfect...as for the team this is it.

4.Geoff Tips
Some other tips:
4. Race a few races in a scenario which only features 1 map, such as the Nurbigring scenario. This allows for the people to be matched up easier because the maps are not switching as often. Also once you get matched up, the second, third and fourth time will be exponentially easier.
5. Pick the same car class and car. This allows you to be easier matched for some reason so it is good to pick the lowest class and the least powerful car in that class, as most people pick the faster cars and that will make us unique and easier matched.
When and Where!
Wednesday March 11th at 5PM EST, about 7:20 UK Time, please be there and ready. I will send party invites to all on the list. I will also send this message to your XBL PM later today to make sure you have it.
**If you have any trouble with the schedule let me know and we can work something out. Thanks guys.

As dontcountstars informs me I was incorrect on the GMT timing, was mistaking it for a different timezone. So it is 10 PM in the UK but since that may be a little late for some...the Match will now start at 4:00 PM EST and 9PM GMT. Thank you. I shall message all who join tonight.

We are done! Thank you to all who participated and made this achievement enjoyable to get. It was pretty hard at first but then the games started to flow in easier. We had a few bumps along the road (one of our players did not show up so we had to be quick and the genius of dontcountstars implemented her second 360) A few other games we had an excess of players and had to "escort" them with 3 other cars to the rail. But other than that it was really fun an enjoyable.
I will be posting a revised guide to getting this achievement based on the experience today. Thanks!

You said you are in Canada...(where I am) and I clearly posted all the times for EST and GMT accordingly, and sent a message to all members that allowed for 2-3 days of response to whether you are agreeing with the schedule or not. I am sorry but the rest of the team stayed organized, it was your responsibility, not mine.

I guess you kicked me out.

There is no kicking out...because I can't kick you out if you don't show up, simple as that. You never accepted any friend requests, and were online at the time we were getting the achievement, tough break. Your inability to get organized and follow a few simple rules made you not get the achievement. The team was a great bunch of people who would have stayed the extra two hours to help you get yours too...but you were not there, and naturally, I had backups. We played for about 6 hours to make sure everyone received their achievement and had great fun doing it, but you simply can't play victim because you did not make an effort. I had been literally sending you friend requests and messages for 3 days, and to no avail, you did not accept nor did message me with any problems schedule wise.
This is the kind of feedback I received from the ones who joined:
"just got my online achievement mate. again,that was quality last night" --Geoff Tipps
"WOOOOOO YES!!!! thank you soooo much!!! =D" --dontcountstars
Don't blame me for your mistake, I was more than kind and willing with this endeavor. I am sorry you missed out, because someone more responsible could have got theirs. You can still do it, just follow my guide and get some friends...take care and good luck.

How am I being rude, I compared achievements, sent friend request...now I am wondering, what is the point, you can send messages and friend requests just as easy. I don't like going around in circles without a purpose. If it has something to do with PGR3 achievements, then once again, you are late.

it's not really worth the effort of trying to get people together and then wait a long time for the horrible matchmaking to pair you all up in the same lobby for this achievement anyway. just play the game for fun
