I chose Shift as part of a two free game bundle with a new Elite + wheel I bought for Forza 3, but the more I play it the more I think about hanging on to it instead of trading it in for filthy lucre.
Anyway I was looking for tips to get me off of 38/39.
EDIT: Done it now, but I had to chalk up a race loss out of 90 in the process to get it out of the way.

That's true! I hadn't really thought of it that way before. 💡
Yeah, the whole Aggression thing is pretty wasted on me and I flat-out refuse to do a Drift race.

I would, most certainly, want every star in every race. I just don't think this conduct should be encouraged for any driving game claiming any simulation elements on a track. You'd be black flagged, simples. This just clarified my decision to avoid, it seems to have a bit of an identity crisis, it's not quite a full sim, but it's not an arcade racer. I call it Pro Street syndrome. Granted, it's a solid title, but it would probably never fully please me.

I read all the post here and agree with most of them, but no one has given the OP an answer he asked for. I can't give him the answer because I tried for about 20 races to spin a car out I don't think I ever got 1 to spin because the games I exited You don't know if you spun anyone (unless they are counted somewhere) I've not seen any count before end of race. Can someone here comment on a count. As far as this being bad for game play I agree it's like in other NFS games. You win race and the cops bust you.

Even though they want to be more serious, you can get points by doing dirty moves, you earn more points by overtaking dirty rather than clean and there is a 8 figure track that you can race with 16 other opponents.
Oh yeah, they think that a 20 minutes race is an endurance. LMAO.Well, considerating that drafting counts as aggressive points, sliding through a corner when the cars drift easily and the AI drives like punters....
I just don't worry about getting all the stars because...
First : I already unlocked the NFS world tour after the tier 2
Second: You don't need all of them to get the platinum trophy (If it's what you want like in my case. I'm trophy addicted
)Third: Some objectives to earn them are just retarded. (See topic's title)

This challenge probably took me around 2 hours to complete and it wouldn't be that hard except for the fact that more than half the spins you will get will instead be counted as tap outs.
I used the GT500 with works - you should be able to get 1 spin off the line (the car to the left in front). After that, just stay in front of that car and make it slow right down to first/second gear speeds, let it pass you on a straight and then try to come up to its rear quarter panel and accelerate hard into it. It's really based on luck as to whether you get a spin or tapout, i think keeping them on the track makes it more likely to be a spin. Good luck!
And I agree with daan, these challenges are really pointless and annoying.

Initially I tried to do this with a fully upgraded Cayman S, but I found the opposition just got faster plus it seemed too light and more tricky to handle.
I started with a stock GT500 then did mostly engine mods as I didn't want to reduce the weight noted the opposition upgrade and left it at that.
There are lots of things against this challenge firstly the circuit most of the time is spent chasing the pack for another chance at a low speed corners of which there are few.
The A.I really does not want to spin, I must of had hundreds of tap outs its so frustrating to see that come up when you're stuck pushing a car which refuses to go past 120° whilst the pack disappears.
In the end it was more luck than judgement I'd given up trying at the start as wipe outs seemed more likely. I just concentrated on pushing the cars off centre at the back along the Kemmel Straight (as turning in on the rear quarter just doesn't seem to work).
I lucked into two spins as the pack bunched up for Les Combes I don't remember where the next one was after Bruxelles, but before the chicane and the final one was driving though the boot of a BMW side on at La Source on the final lap.
I tried to stay near the front in case I wiped out so that there would be cars around me when I got back up to speed.
On the whole super frustrating a bit like the clean lap of the Nordschleife star triple header.

Good grief, now don't tell me you treat AI opponents with the same respect you hopefully do with online racing opponents in general.
Anyway, I preferred the Evo X with some power upgrades and tried to take out lighter cars like the MX-5s and/or RWD cars. Just push their behinds from the side and if their back starts stepping out hit the brakes hard. See what opponent's cars are available for drift, and prefer them. Even if you just push them off the track, that'll mean you've got another possible victim behind you for the second lap.
Not one of the challenges I enjoyed, because using 3rd person view helps a lot (which I don't like) and I had to keep the HUD to track my success (which I like even less). But I neither liked the oval tracks, nor the drift events, so there's about half of the "career" mode which I can't be bothered to spend time on.

Here is what I did:
There are blue boxes outside the final corner:
I pushed some of them on the best line like in the screenshot. The CPU is not capable to drive its cars around those boxes. Instead all cars end up "parking" behind them. Then simply drive back to where I am on the photo. From there accelerate into the parking cars, hoping to spin out one of them. You have to be quick, because the game tries to disqualify you for driving in the wrong direction. The good thing is, you have infinite tries. I'm not sure, but I think you have to spin out the cars off the track for a "spin opponent".

I think the cutest thing about the game is that drafting gives you points for "aggression"

i got this one my first try, with an evo 10... i'm still opposed to aggression driving in general
P.S why on earth is drafting aggressive?

Apparently since it was in previous NFS's... they felt that it deserved that label. Or maybe they're telling kids it's not okay to tailgate.
Funny enough... this challenge is what started to sour my experience of the gameplay.
I tried it... half-heartedly... but I really, really really didn't want to chalk up one loss just to get that stupid star.
Cute is not exactly how I'd put it.

Getting SHIFT back from my cousin tomorrow. Proved too challenging for him... or too frustrating. Will put my nose into it and try to finish enough of the career mode to unlock all the cars this time.

Anyone noticed what it says on the loading screen:
"Driving backwards on the track is reckless and considered dangerous, you will be disqualified"
Yet, the aim of some races is to "spin-out your opponents".
Kind of a contradiction
I still like the game though. Just found that funny.
