Unlike street races you do not race against other competitors here and neither is there a time limit. The sole purpose is to complete the course by passing thru (or rather touching) the red coronas without crashing the plane. Each race carries a $10,000 prize for completing it.

You don't need to pass _thru_ the coronas, so with a helicopter, you can simply hover above the corona, and descend straight down until the helicopter touches the corona. This will cost you time, but since there is no time limit or competitors, you will get the prize anyway.


In addition, if you for some reason want a news chopper (a regular Maverick with different texture), this is a way to get one. Start the race, fly to Verdant Meadows airstrip, and store it in the plane hall.
