The Top 10 Most Challenging Achievements: Xbox One

04. Forza Motorsports 5: I Could Do That in a Van (20G) Finish the I Could Do That in a Van event having set a lap time of 10:00 or better

One of the interesting facts about the truly challenging and entertaining Achievements is that very often they don't sound like they will be as challenging as they end up being... And I Can Do That in a Van is one of that sort.

The setup for this is really quite simple: you are presented with the challenge of racing a standard panel van along the Nurburgring track with the objective being to complete the race in under 10 minutes.

Sounds easy enough, right? Well, not so much! In fact this is the most challenging Achievement in the game in our experience.

After literally dozens of fails and trying to tweak the setup for the van what I discovered was that there were four factors that needed to be tended to - the first three were mods to the van. Bearing in mind that you cannot mod it to the point that it bumps its class so the mods have to be minor - and they are.

The first is to increase the traction as much as you can, get as much acceleration as you can, and make the van as light as you can.

The fourth factor though is actually the most difficult and easiest at the same time. I say easiest because you can use the Rewind button as much as you need to and it will not prevent you unlocking the Achievement.

I say the most difficult because basically you need to hit every corner perfectly. It is the time you lose in the corners that ultimately prevents you from completing the race in the slotted time!

The trick to this fun and challenging Achievement is to pay strict attention to your driving and, when you know you could have done better, rewind and DO better! Yeah!
