You must finish a full 24 hour race to get the "A Day In The Life" achievement, which can be done on the Le Mans 24H invitational event that appears at the end of every season after 50 podium finishes in your career. You do not have to win the race and can allow the CPU to drive for you by selecting "Swap Driver" at a pit stop. To get the achievement easily, begin a solo quick race with the following settings: time progression set to "real time", one lap, one opponent, no damage, no mechanical failures, no fuel usage, no tire wear, and no flags and penalties. You can select any car and track. When the race begins, park your car off the track where it cannot move. Allow the game to idle, then cross the finish line when the timer has exceeded 1,440 minutes. Note: You can pause the game (this will also stop the timer), but cannot quit the race.
Try using the GT4 Ford Mustang Boss 302R because of its downforce and power. Note: The Ford Zakspeed Capri does not count as a U.S. car because it was built by the German Zakspeed team. Choose a single race with no opponents. You will still get the "Eastbound & Down" achievement if the lap time was invalidated due to a collision with the track limits.
Although you do not need all invitations, you actually have to finish four of the five historic goals. These are done while earning "Zero To Hero", "Defending Champ", "Triple Crown", and "Fully Loaded".
