The achievements in New Star GP are pretty straightforward and not overly difficult. However getting 100% will take some time. Dependant on the chosen difficulty level, getting all achievements will take around 20 to 25 hours.

The game is divided into three game modes:

• Career − 47 achievements
  
• Championship − 3 achievements
  
• Hot Lap − No achievements

The main part of the game is the career mode.

This category consists of general achievements obtainable during the career mode.

Events
These achievements unlock after participating in career mode events.



Car upgrades
These achievements require you to upgrade your car.




Perks
These achievements are related to perks.



Random
Achievements that don't fit into any other category.

The career mode has five seasons (era’s): 1980's to 2020's.
If you are first in the standings at the end of that season you will automatically promote to the next era.

Achievements

Cups are obtained by completing the available challenges for all events of each race location.
A season (era) is complete when all cups have been obtained.

Possible Challenges:

• Checkpoint Race − Complete all checkpoints, without using any rewinds
  
• Elimination Race − Finish in first place, without using any rewinds
  
• Grand Prix − Finish in first place
  
• Reverse Track − Finish in first place
  
• Rival Race − Beat the rival, without using any rewinds
  
• Time Trial − Beat the expert time, without using any rewinds

Each event can be completed once you unlock a race location, with the exception of rival races.

Rival Race
Rival races (head to head battles) are random events during a season when you have admirers or nemeses. If you completed a season but still have locked rival battles, just continue to the next era. Drivers will call you to go back to leftover battles.

Failing an Event
If you fail an event, and complete it without getting every cup, you can just retry it.
❗Note: The only exception to this are the Grand Prix events!

Grand Prix events can only be driven again after the season has been concluded!
​→ Once you beat an era, you can reset the season championship in the standings menu.
​⠀⠀This will allow you to retry Grand Prix.

Amount of Cups
Each season has different tracks and different challenges.
The amount of cups per era is listed below:

• 1980's − 92 cups
  
• 1990's − 102 cups
  
• 2000's − 115 cups
  
• 2010's − 129 cups
  
• 2020's − 141 cups

Achievements

These achievements are related to winning Grand Prix.

Amount of Wins
These achievements require you to win a certain amount of Grand Prix. These do not have to be consecutive.



Consecutive Wins
Because you cannot restart a Grand Prix event, the streak achievements can be challenging on the higher difficulty. However there are two options to make this easier:

• Option 1 − Perk
  During a season you can unlock a perk of the communications manager which allows you to restart a Grand Prix via the restart option in the pause menu.
  
  
• Option 2 − Cheat
  A cheap alternative is to force close (ALT-F4) your game before the end of the Grand Prix. This allows you to restart the game to just before the Grand Prix race started, allowing you to keep your streak.

Wins+
These achievements require you to win a Grand Prix and fulfil an additional requirement.




Broken Components
Some achievements require you to win with a severely damaged car. Components have to explicitly fail. Components that are damaged or even critical do NOT count! Repairing failed components before winning the race does also NOT count!

Components that can break (fail) are:

• Brakes
  
• Front Wing
  
• Gearbox
  
• Rear Wing
  
• Suspension
  
• Tires

The state of a component is displayed in the car indicator on the right. Components start with a green colour and will slowly turn red the more damaged they get.

The difficult part is that driving with broken components is very slow. The best tactic is to destroy them near the end of a Grand Prix. Street circuits are best for this tactic, because the barriers are closer to the track, making it easier to get damage without losing much time.

The easiest way to achieve this is on the Côte d'Azur Grand Prix in the 1980's era.
Select the 'Restart Grand Prix' and 'Unlimited Rewinds' perks, so you have several tries.
For the other perks, select perks that save you time in order to build a sizable gap to P2.

The first part is to damage the components to orange before entering the last lap. This can be achieved by slamming into barriers/opponents or by going off track (and over kerbs). Try to create as much of a gap to P2 as possible (at least 10 seconds).

In the last lap, slam into the barrier in the penultimate corner. This should cause some components to at least be critical. Use rewind in order to retry the crash if necessary. Lastly, crash into barrier of the final corner, which should let the components fail. The engineer will tell you explicitly when a component has failed. It could be handy to save some boost for the finish straight, since the car will now perform like a tractor.

If you crossed the finish line and failed the achievement, you can reset the championship in the standings menu to try again.

The following achievements are related to winning a Grand Prix on a certain race track.

It is not required to win on your first try. If you didn't manage to win a Grand Prix, you can try again after the season has been concluded. Once you beat a certain era, you can reset the championship in the standings menu to keep retrying. Additionally most tracks appear in multiple eras, giving you multiple opportunities.

Achievements

In addition to the career mode, there is also the championship mode. This is a separate mode and can be accessed from the main menu. The championship game mode can be played in co-op split screen with up to 4 players.

This mode has two options:

• Championships − Compete in a pre-made cup
  
• Creation mode − Create a custom cup

The silver and gold achievements cannot be unlocked via custom cups.
