Here's a quick function to check achievement progress.
"Gold 0" means you didn't get gold whereas "Gold 1" means you did it.

Just finished the achievement after pre-ordering.
Rated by difficulty from easiest to worst in my opinion.
- Fen Flythrough
- Crystal Circuit
- Ruby Lifeshrine Loop
- Stormsunder Crater Circuit
- Tyrhold Trial
- Vakthros AscentImportant to know is that [spell=418592] reduces your ability to turn at maximum speed so be sure to use it on the straight and narrow areas.
Also lots of tiny small little objects that will reduce your speed to 0 and end your run. Do a practice flight to get a feel for the sharp turns and long straight stretches and Gold isn't to bad to obtain.Title gets immediately rewarded, the upgraded armor is from The Storm Race Tour that only requires race completion, not gold.
Good luck!
Purchasing at least the Heroic Edition of the The War Within expansion also unlocks the Storm Rider's challenge! Heroic Edition: Algarian Stormrider This challenge revamps a few Dragonriding races in the Dragon Isles, making the race tracks slightly different and more fitting for the Algarian Stormrider new mechanic and ability.
To start the questline that leads to the Storm Rider challenge, mount on your Algarian Stormrider and fly around with it a bit, until you notice [npc=197478] approaching you. [npc=197478] will give you the quest Lightning Strikes, which requires you to go to the Skytop Observatory in the Waking Shores.
Upon arriving there and turning the quest into [npc=193359], he will give you a new quest, The Storm Race Tour - This quest has you complete 6 Dragon Isles races on the newest Storm Rider difficulty! These races involve slightly altered courses, including many portions close to walls or mountains and big strips of straight ring objectives, perfect to use [spell=418592] on.
You can complete All 6 Storm Rider Gold Dragon Races following this video guide.
