Around the Globe Achievement Glitch

Not sure what causes this but after retiring and restarting several 99 lap races and restarting the game. The game will grant you around 1200km of drive distance to your stats.

After completing the whole campaign + season 1-3 I've noticed I had already 34'000km progress, which did not make any sense as this compared to my playtime would result in an average speed of 430km/h, ignoring load times, menu time etc. Not sure if this is related to my save file or can be reproduced.
I've been able to reproduce it 4-5 times bringing me to the 40k with different methods (one shown in the video, another one was to drive 10 Rounds of Indianapolis as with the same settings as in the video).
The ones before seemed to be caused randomly while playing the Seasons.

Summary:
To get the achivement around the globe the fastest way is to use an exploit that gets you (in my case 700 km in 1.5 min).To do that do this settings:
discipline race
vehicle category seasons
chicle class track day hypercar ( form my limited testing any seasons car will do)
gird size 1
nubmer of rounds 1

Track crescent valley
rute oval circuit
laps 99(probably dosnt matter)

Car koenigsegg jesko (any should be fine the jesko is the first i can select so lets go with that)

After that start the map , go to the first checkpoint than press pasue , select quit you will be transporrted to main manu , and just quit the game , after that when you go back into the game you should get around 750km added to your total

[TheAlmightyHero]

got around 18k in 30min

Still working in 2023 ... quitting the game and going for the first checkpoint again seems important though, that's when the game seems to register the distance you made and uploads to the achievement progression.
I was about halfway in this achievement for years, now I got it in a little more than half an hour.
Huge thanks for the tip!
