The riders next to you will rev their bikes just before the gates drop so you can use this as an indicator. It takes approximately 3 seconds for the gates to drop. This manoeuvre is all about timing and it will take some practice. When done correctly you will get a big boost out of the gates which will propel you ahead of the other riders, thus making it possible to reach the holeshot marker before them. As soon as the gates drop you need to release both and but keep pressing. Hold (clutch), (accelerator) and (body weight) at the same time. There is a manoeuvre you can do to maximise your chances of being the first rider out of the gates. If it doesn't then it means you weren't successful but you can restart the race and try again. You will know you've been successful at achieving the holeshot if your name appears in the bottom left of the screen. To maximise your chances of doing this you also need to be the first rider out of the gates at the beginning of the race, otherwise it becomes virtually impossible to pull off. To achieve a holeshot you need to be the first rider to cross the holeshot marker, which always appears after the first corner in a race.
If for some reason you haven't earned 300,000 credits by then you can simply start another season in career mode or you can grind quick races to level up using the methods described in At the top. You should make a decent dent in this trophy by the time you finish career mode and the rest should come by the time you reach prestige level 100. You also earn credits each time you level up and the amount of credits you earn will increase each time you do so. You can switch contracts at any time so make sure you keep upgrading as the better contracts become available. The biggest contracts are unlocked upon reaching level 30 and these contracts award 1,800 credits per win. The amount of credits you earn isn't a lot, with beginner contracts awarding a measly 900 credits per win but you will unlock better contracts as you level up. In terms of career mode, you are able to choose your contract upon starting out. There are only two ways in which you can earn credits completing races in career mode and levelling up. With load times and setting up a new session each time, this method takes approximately 1-2 minutes in total and will earn you 32,500 XP. It will take roughly 2-4 of these sessions to level you up. The qualifying session takes around 10-20 seconds to do. Choose to overwrite this save and then repeat steps 1 & 2.
When you go to repeat this process again you will be greeted with a save file message asking if you would like to continue from where you left off the last time or if you would like to overwrite this and start a new session. Once you have finished step 2, quit out of the session. Simply follow steps 1 & 2 mentioned under method #1. This method takes approximately 6 minutes to do and it will earn you a total of 92,500 XP, which should be enough to level you up each time. Achieving the holeshot will earn you another 10,000 XP. Winning the race will earn you 30,000 XP and another 20,000 XP for no rewinds. You will be multiple laps ahead of the AI by the time you finish the race. The race lasts for 5 minutes and winning it is very easy using this track. Setting the quickest lap time will earn you 12,500 XP and you'll earn another 20,000 XP for no rewinds. Once you have achieved the quickest lap time pause the game and select return to pit and then end session.
You're free to leave once you set the quickest lap time, which should only take 1-2 laps to do. You don't need to complete the entire 10 minute session. The first session is qualifying and the aim here is to set the quickest lap time. Before you begin the race go into race options and change these settings to the following
It's a circular track with a single jump halfway through and it's very short with a single lap taking around 10 seconds to complete. The most popular user-generated track is called Quick XP/Cash, which has over 4,000 downloads. To find user-generated tracks, press three times whilst on the track selection screen. I recommend choosing a user-generated track for this because standard tracks are longer and more challenging. Select quick modes from the main menu and then pick grand prix. There are 2 methods you can use one will earn you more XP but takes longer to do, whilst the other method earns you less XP but is much quicker. You won't be anywhere close to level 100 after you finish a season in career mode so you'll need to grind out the rest in quick mode races. This will likely be the final trophy you earn before the platinum.
