Grand Theft Auto III/Turismo

Brief
El Burro has heard of Claude's reputation on the streets and wants to hire him. Before he can work for the donkey, however, he must prove his worth by finishing first in a street race.

Walkthrough
First get a fast car. if you have not unlocked Staunton Island yet, a Banshee can be obtained from the Autoyard in Harwood (near 8-Ball's place). The car is good enough for this race. Get to the starting grid and keep the car accelerating throughout the countdown. When the countdown is over, the cars begin to move. Now you need to be patient and try your best to finish first in the race. Attempting the mission a few times gets you more familiar with the checkpoints. Try not to hit other vehicles as it will damage your car and you'll need to get another one which can be time-consuming.
