Release the throttle just a bit to slow down and navigate through the narrow lanes to avoid smashing against any walls (and to not waste any Special abilities).Īs you reach the last couple of checkpoints, there is a super sharp left turn just before the starting point. The area that will most likely cause some problem is the Promenade shopping center area where Franklin has to squeeze through a long narrow lane. This will give Franklin a slight boost in acceleration and get him to the front of the pack within the first 15 seconds ( see screencap above)! When the race starts, push the Left Analog Stick forward so that Franklin shifts his weight to the front of the bike. When you've got the souped up bike, race it! It is recommended that you purchase (or steal) a Pegassi Bati 801 motorcycle and then tune it up at LS Customs to have Max Speed and Max Acceleration. The fifth and final race is a motorcycle race that zooms through the streets of Vespucci Beach. Other than the checkpoint that leads to the other lane (you'll know it when you see it), getting 1st place in this race shouldn't be difficult. The race is fairly straightforward though the only trcky turn is towards the end of the lap where the checkpoint is in the MIDDLE of the freeway pointing you to drive across lanes ( see screencap above). When you reach the first freeway exit, cut corners at the sharp left turn to gain top position easily. When the race starts, the two starting cars will get ahead early. Getting into top position will require some tricky driving and dirty shoving. This time the race is located in the La Mesa area and the entrance fee is $1250. When you return to the airport area, stay on the RIGHT side (the departure lane) and then make the circular turn and back down to the arrivals lane down below for the win.Īfter completing the Airport race, Hao sends you another text message with another location for a race. The tricky sharp turn occurs when you reach the railroad tracks in Strawberry, so use a hard brake and then turn. With some careful maneuvering, you should be able to get into top position just before you exit the freeway towards the Maze Bank Arena. The Airport route contains several narrow entrances and some tricky sharp turns.
Make your way to the race in the evening and bring the $1000 entrance fee to start the race. After a day or so, Hao will send you a text message confirming a race at the LS Airport later in the evening. To unlock the Airport race, you MUST complete the first two races. The race is pretty lengthy so keep the pedal to the metal and you should win 1st place easily. When you get to the Vespucci Beach area, there will be several sharp turns that can throw you off, so keep a hand on the brake so that you don't crash! If done correctly, you should be in 1st place within the first 20 seconds! Keep an eye on the checkpoints and don't speed too fast or you'll slip. When the race starts, cut corners at the first right turn to gain top position. The City Circuit Race is located in Vinewood Hills and spans nearly the entire city within ONE lap. Remember, you MUST win this race again along with the City Circuit Race to unlock the Airport race! With some careful sharp turns, you should be able to win this race as easily as you did in the " Shift Work" mission.
