FIA European Truck Racing Championship is an official racing game of the title series but it also covers the World Series of truck racing. This is isn't your typical racer, because of the available vehicles, plus trucks are massive, way less responsive & slower than typical racecars (they're electronically limited to 160 km/h/99,4 mph) but racing them is suprisingly fun. You also have to mind the breakes & use water to cool them down strategically. The Platinum is mostly limited to passing licences & a career mode in which you have to complete 2 sesons of 2 available series. This series features the reverse grid, which means first 8 trucks on finish line of race1 are reversed on the starting grid of the 2nd race. This makes the series more interesting for spectators in real-life & luckily at the same time means it's easier to skip some races in-game if your point advantage goes high towards the 2nd half of some seasons. Be sure to switch race length to minimal (25%) before starting each season, set difficulty to Easy as well, this will save you a lot of time with skipping qualify sessions. It's also a good idea to switch damage to Off or Visual Only, as you will often have to fight your way from the back of the pack.
 

Beating this step is mandatory to gain entry to championships. If you're familiar with Gran Turismo series, these are pretty much the same. The only difference is they're very easy (I got gold on every licencse without even trying) & you only need to complete them, no matter the grade

Completing this step will unlock the following trophy:
 

I started with ETRC, because it has more races & less truck variety so I wanted to get it over with 1st but you can start with any series you want. You cannot sign a full contract in your first season so you need to go for weekend contracts each racing weekend (which consists of 4 races). It is very important to always pick the offer which gives you max Reputation & win all races, this will enable you to get all the Rep trophies for each series within just 2 seasons. Also be sure to complete & win all qualifying sessions before your 1st race (after 1st race you can always skip quali, also always skip practice). Be sure to avoid any damage in 1st race, as it's the best place in the game to get no-damage trophy

Winning 1st race weekend along with all qualifiying sessions & not taking damage will earn you the following trophies:
 

Keep winning races on your 1st season without skipping any of them (skip practice & qualifying only) to unlock:
 

In this step you will sign a full season contract & start earning money along with reputation. It is important to sign a contract with a team that gives you the most Reputation per season (I got both Reputation trophies by geting just enough or very little bit over the points required within 2 seasons). Earning money on the other hand goes suprisingly fast, you can unlock money-related trophies within 2-3 race weekends, don't hesitate to fully upgrade your truck as soon as possible. As in previous step, always skip qualification & practice sessions. Towards the 2nd half of this season you can also skip entire races or even weekends. Just mind the oponents gap in championship table & don't skip the last race, just to be safe.

This is basically the same step as 2a, just win all races within your first season of whatever series you got left (single-weekend contracts) to unlock the track-related trophies, the championship & get the most Reputation. The only difference is you can skip all practice & qualifying sessions here. Just win every race.

This is basically the same step as 2b, you can upgrade the truck along the way for a better performance. In this step you will sign a full season contract. Again it's important to sign a contract with a team that gives you the most Reputation per season. In World Series I managed to get exactly the number of rep to get the trophy so choosing the right team is important.
