Project Motor Racing Achievements Guide: Full List and Tips

Project Motor Racing features 30 platform achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore on Xbox and 1,000 XP on the Epic Games Store, mirroring the complete trophy set on PlayStation consoles. To earn 100% completion in Straight4 Studios' simulation racer, you must master real-world qualifying pole targets, navigate Authentic Career Mode across several disciplines, and log mileage across distinct motorsport categories.

This guide provides the complete verified list of all 30 achievements, exact lap time targets, and mechanical context regarding updates that impact achievement difficulty.

Complete Project Motor Racing Achievements List

Across Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox, and PlayStation, the base game includes 30 distinct achievements. The table below lists every achievement, its official unlock description, and recorded Gamerscore or XP reward values:

Note: Depending on whether you play on Steam, Epic Games Store, or Xbox/PlayStation, certain descriptions interchange the terms "Hypercar" and "LMDh", or refer to tracks by their official alternate names (e.g., Lake Jackson Raceway for Sebring, or Blue Mountains Raceway for Mount Panorama).

Real-World Lap Time Challenges

A significant portion of the list tasks you with beating real benchmark pole times from official motorsport seasons.

GT3 and LMDh Target Times

• 12 Hours of Sebring Pole: Beat 1:48.152 in LMDh/Hypercar at Sebring Grand Prix.
• 6 Hours of São Paulo Pole: Beat 1:23.140 in LMDh/Hypercar at Interlagos (São Paulo).
• Bathurst 12 Hours Pole: Beat 2:00.881 in GT3 at Mount Panorama Circuit.
• 24 Hours of Spa Pole: Beat 2:16.375 in GT3 at Spa-Francorchamps.
• Nürburgring 24 Hours Pole: Beat 8:09.058 in GT3 on the Nordschleife 24h layout.

GTR2 Nostalgia Target Times

• GTR2 Brianza Pole: Beat BMS Scuderia Italia's time of 1:43.509 at Monza (Brianza).
• GTR2 Spa Pole: Beat BMS Scuderia Italia's time of 2:18.864 at Spa-Francorchamps.
• GTR2 San Marino Pole: Beat Vitaphone Racing Team's time of 1:47.399 at Imola (San Marino).
• GTR2 Derby Pole: Beat Konrad Racing Team's time of 1:40.747 at Derby Grand Prix.

Physics Overhauls and Target Feasibility

Community discussions and player testing note that the difficulty of these lap times changed significantly following title updates. Update 2.1 introduced a physics overhaul across GT3 and GT4 classes overseen by vehicle dynamics engineer Aristotelis Vasilakos. The patch reworked aerodynamic pitch sensitivity, updated inertia, and overhauled tire deformation and thermal flash wear.

Consequently, aggressive overdriving now overheats tire surfaces, reducing available grip compared to launch physics. For players attempting GT3 targets like Monza or Spa legitimately, tire management on warm-up laps and progressive brake trail-off are essential to avoid scrubbing the front axle.

Authentic Career Mode and Difficulty Rules

Several achievements require competing in Authentic Career Mode:

• Starts & Wins: Completing 5, 10, and 25 career starts, securing 10 wins, and claiming 7 total championships for Nothing Left to Prove.
• Specific Titles: Winning a GT championship (Get Real), an LMDh title (The Pinnacle), and winning a championship behind the wheel of the Lister Storm GT (Underdog).

In Authentic Career Mode, the AI operates at 100% difficulty scaling with restarts completely disabled. A single collision or severe off-track spin will compromise your race result. Community players report that Underdog remains one of the toughest achievements due to the Lister Storm GT’s handling characteristics compared against contemporary rivals on maxed AI settings.

Endurance Master and License Requirements

Endurance Master

Unlocking Endurance Master requires winning an event in the Endurance Hall within the Challenges menu. These races run roughly 80 to 90 minutes against 100% AI difficulty. The event requires at least one mandatory pit stop for fuel and fresh tires, demanding consistent pace and pit strategy management.

Distance Milestones (300 km)

Five achievements track vehicle class mileage:

• Modern GT License
• LMDh License
• Group C License
• GTR2 License
• GT1 License

Each unlocks after logging 300 kilometers (approximately 186 miles) in eligible vehicles. These can be naturally accumulated across career sessions, multiplayer lobbies, or practice time trials.

Online and Social Mode Achievements

Project Motor Racing requires you to clear an entry test to access competitive lobbies:

• Online License: Attained upon successfully passing the in-game online license qualification test. Update patch notes fixed an early issue where players occasionally passed the ranked license test without meeting the clear criteria.
• First Online Win & Online Veteran: Earned by taking 1st place in 1 and 10 Ranked Online races respectively.
• Social Slayer: Unlocked after winning your first race in a Social unranked multiplayer lobby.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are lap times easier to beat in specific weather conditions?

Target pole times should be attempted in dry, optimal track conditions with fresh soft tires brought up to temperature. Update 2.1 made cold tires nervous and unforgiving on out-laps; driving aggressively before the tire core warms will ruin tire wear and degrade peak lap pace.

Did patch updates change lap-time exploits?

In earlier versions, players reported exploit methods on certain tracks (such as triggering sector timers across pit exit boundaries at the Nürburgring or disabling penalties). However, updates have systematically addressed flying zone detections, pit exit triggers (such as fixes applied to tracks like Rockingham / Daytona Sector 3), and lap invalidation flags to ensure authentic timing rules apply.

Is Project Motor Racing available on Xbox Game Pass?

No. Project Motor Racing is not available on Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass. The game is sold on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
