If you want to spam your guild with 10 achievements in a short time, the Barrens Great Divide is the shortest (~30sec) and quite easy to first-try gold.

Commentaire de Currently

Some of the timers on these races are fairly tight, but all are doable. I found that starting with a Skyward Ascent (space bar is default) to really get you up high to create the downward glide and vigor recharge was key to beating some of these races.

Generally speaking, all the same principles of the previous Dragon Races apply here. Try and stick to the inside and take as close to as straight of path as possible; when possible try and angle downward (even slightly) to really maintain your speed. Also, it's possible to skirt the very top of the ring and still get credit for it; this will help having to go through obstacles which you may clip that will slow or stop you completely.

When everything is bought the Dragonriding Set and the 3 Dragon Scrolls the vendor sells Insigne du concordat de Valdrakken for 10 Insigne des Chevaucheurs d’Azeroth

As there is no way to see this achievement as long as you don't have the silver nor bronze one, here is a quick macro to allow you to have an idea on what's missing :

/run for _,a in pairs({17714,17717,17720}) do for i=1,GetAchievementNumCriteria(a) do local n,_,d=GetAchievementCriteriaInfo(a,i) print(format("%s %s",n,d and "\124cFF00FF00Done\124r" or "\124cFFFF0000Missing\124r")) end end

Some general tips

Momentum is key. I know this seems obvious, but consider that, the faster you're going, the sooner you reach green spheres, which you can in turn use to keep your speed up, which in turn gets you to the next one faster. This feedback loop is critical for getting good times. Once speed is lost, it's often hard to regain. You'll also find that, once you do keep your momentum up sufficiently, you'll destroy even the advanced and reverse timers - it might just take a few tries to figure each course out.
Sometimes a small deviation to grab a green sphere is worth it. This has probably been more true in previous courses, but in Winterspring (which might be the hardest overall course this time around), there's a notable part where this is really helpful. There may be others which I missed, don't be afraid to deviate a little to grab a green sphere.
Turning costs you some speed. Because of this, try to avoid using surge forward into a turn. Make the turn, then surge forward.
Do use skyward ascent where appropriate. Don't just angle up and hit surge forward when you want to gain a non-trivial amount of height. Skyward ascent is a great ability that gives you a ton more momentum than you might expect. Make sure you don't under-utilise it.
In the same vein, there are vanishingly few opportunities for whirling surge - at best a couple in the thousand needles course, but even there it's not really good. The vigor cost is just too high, you're always better off using that same vigor for 3 spaced out surge forwards.
Bronze timelock doesn't currently work in Kalimdor. Obviously you can't place it prior to a race, but interestingly it's disabled during races as well. You don't really need it, and beyond very occasionally getting a small skip to the end, it was rarely used in races anyway.
Aerial halt has no use for races and should be avoided.

Some race-specific thoughts

I found that there were:

3 harder courses, Winterspring, Ahn'Qiraj (reverse only), Feralas - these took a good few tries and decent optimisation. These generally have both a somewhat challenging design and a tight timer.
5 medium-difficulty courses, Durotar, Ashenvale, Hyjal, Desolace, Uldum - I couldn't on-sight these, and it took 3 or 4 tries to get them right. These generally have had a tight timer or a challenging course, but not both.
8 easy courses, Felwood, Un'goro, Barrens Razorfen, Nordrassil, Stonetalon, Azshara, Thousand Needles, Barrens Divide - these took 1-2 tries, and usually took a significant mistake a fail.

Your mileage may vary, I might've had a lucky or unlucky run in a few places, but if like me you prefer to get the hard ones over with first, this might give you something to start from. I recorded how many tries each race took and some course-specific thoughts and tips for anyone interested. Ordered by how difficult I found each course.

Desolace

Course	Normal	Advanced	Reverse	Comments
Winterspring	1	5	4	Grab the green orb slightly off the route. I had several tries at least 0.5s off before I did this, then went 3s under. This one is tight and a bit unforgiving.
Ahn'Qiraj	1	1	8	Normal and advanced were easy, reverse took a ton of tries. In the end, I saved some vigor to get up the stairs (you'll see where this is) to blast to the end. There might be some better tech.
Feralas	2	4	4	Medium-hard - the timer is actually OK on this one, but it's easy to make a mistake and lose all your momentum or clip something. Be especially careful around the colosseum.
Durotar	1	4	1	Medium difficulty, generous timer but quite a tight course, lots of winding turns in the first half on advanced. Actually far easier in reverse.
Ashenvale	1	4	2	Medium difficulty, timer is not entirely free, but not too bad either. Quite a few obstacles for you to snag yourself on if you aren't careful, several gates to go through, which include a long horizontal.
Hyjal	1	4	4	Medium difficulty, easy to make a mistake on, reasonably tight timer.
1	3	3	Medium difficulty, reasonable timer, but quite a few opportunities to mess up the course.
Uldum	1	3	1	Medium difficulty with a moderately tight timer.
Felwood	1	2	1	Fairly easy, timer seems generous enough, but a few things you can catch yourself on.
Un'goro	1	2	1	An easy course with a reasonably tight timer.
Barrens Razorfen	1	1	2	Fairly easy, a generous timer, but a couple of tight turns.
Nordrassil	1	1	1	Very easy, short course with a generous timer, just watch out for the branches. Easily got gold first try with a not especially good performance.
Stonetalon	1	1	1	A medium course with an extremely generous timer.
Barrens Divide	1	1	1	Very short, not a difficult timer, just dodge lava.
Azshara	1	1	1	A very, very long course, with a generous timer. I made a really bad mistake on reverse and still got it in one try. As an aside, despite being insanely long, I love this course, maybe the most fun one they've ever made.
Thousand Needles	1	1	1	An extremely easy course - just keep pushing forward - more than you usually would, you can't really run out of vigor.

Commentaire de clinia

Best advice I got was to save up vigor. Instead of using it almost on CD, just keep your speed initially above 900, only using when you drop below. When you have 4-5 vigor, start using them, and keep using them so you stay at max speed. This helped me so much.

I had multiple races where I was far from the gold and had spent more than 10 tries, ending up skipping them. When I was told about reserving vigor and changed my tactics, I was one shotting almost all those I skipped, and a few with 2-3 tries.

This is a great example of what I am talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6frHPPapGmE

Commentaire de Veliore

I started with the Winter Wander, which totally demotivated me when I struggled and were not able to hit even the silver rank of Advanced and Reverse. So I just researched on YouTube and ultimatelly, I was able to get the achievement.

Here are some tips:
1) Boost your speed - even though it seems impossible to hit gold, especially in Advanced and some of the Reverse races, it is doable once you learn the Skyward Ascent trick as shown here, which are some fast camera movements - point your camera up, hit SA and point it immediately back down. This trick gives you even bigger speed boost than just surging forward. It requires quite a lot of practice, in my case I got only to a cca 50 % success rate in doing it properly with my wobbly hands, but if you can master that, even the hard races will get much easier and speed will no longer be the biggest issue.
2) UI enhancement - using the speed rate WeakAura by Darianopolis really helps as you can clearly see if you are doing the SA trick properly and you can better assess your race and whether it is worthy to finish it or restart it.
3) Research - watching tutorials on Youtube for each race to know the critical parts of the race and what to pay attention to during racing. I watched IceLighting's tutorials with commentary, which were very helpful and provided necessary insight in some of the races.
4) Don't torture yourself - if you get frustrated, just move onto other race and come back later. There is no shame in that, plus your mind and nerves may really profit from experiencing success in another race after hours of failing to hit gold on some of the hard races.

I hope this summary may help at least one person to beat the tricky timers.
May the strong wind be always at your back!

Commentaire de Aelexe

This achievement really makes you appreciate every tree branch across Kalimdor.

Commentaire de Dumdeedum

I strongly recommend the DragonSpeed addon for this, or some other speed tracking option, but DragonSpeed is nicely minimal in display, just giving a simple percentage display by your vigour orbs. The problem with dragonriding is what feels fast isn't always what actually is fast, so having a proper display lets you judge when to time boosts and such.

Basically you want to be surging forward before your speed drops below 80% for gold times. That works for most of these races, though there's a couple of places where you have to coast to save up a couple of orbs before kicking into high gear.

Commentaire de Arbron

Ignore what the stats say. Either this hasn't been obtained by 5% of profiles or those 5% got a GM to grant them the achievement.

Ahn'Qiraj Circuit Reverse is not currently possible to gold.
