Hell yeah brother! After up all night! Got it in first try after this viddy! Damn I was getting soo impatient too! Twas freakn annoying AF!! 🤦🏼♀️lol 🤘🏻💪🏻 What a relief! Feels good
Agreed, great tips! Tried the wreck cheese and didn't work so went back to just grinding it. Not gonna lie took me about 4 or 5 hours but finally. Slowly kept improving and takes awhile to get a feel for the car, when to break and when to use ram etc. There are also certain spots like the grass you suggested where its great to pass or make up time and others where I just played it safe. But I digress, thanks for the great insights!
@@soggypotato5332I started the mission at 2:20 and I starred watching this vid at 4:02 and beat it 5 minutes later! It was so mad the whole time it crying at one point 😂
I think the reason the race is so difficult in the original game is that they designed it using a racing wheel completely forgetting many at that time didn't have that (And even today many don't have that). I think I spent like 7-8 hours the first time before managing to win the race lol
@@55marpo yeah same I played f1 23 before I installed Mafia DE, I think I did it in like 3-4 restarts, it was fairly easy cause everybody is slow and just do the racing lines and you will win.

Man this race was brutal on classic, it was impossible. After watching this video it took only 2 tries and i was number one. Platinum Trophy here i come, great tutorial 🎉👍🏻
It took me about five. Before this video I was well over fifty and couldn't win. After watching it, I still kept getting screwed by the most ridiculous random things. Even the time I won, I almost got screwed because a SIDEWAYS AI car just popped onto the track, right in front of me, after the last big banking turn before the finish.

@@Twigg4075 Theres a pattern. I had to observe each car just to win the race. In some cases you will need to slow down. It was hell. I finished the game and its currently one of my favorite games. Im abt to play the 2 and skip the 3 cause its repetive af
This video definitely helped me! I was frustrated at first, but months later I used it to finally win the race that I couldn't beat when I first played it. I did what it said and I won!
Show me your ways, man. The ram button just keeps throwing my car to the side instead of centering it and cutting grass doesnt let me get past other drivers about 9 times out of the 10, especially the first corner grass
I've followed these instructions and I can confirm that It works, thanks a lot buddy this video is a lifesaver, I completed the main history back in March and I wasn't able to get past the race because I just didn't know what I was doing, mafia definitive edition is one of my favorite games ever and now I can go for the Platinum, thanks a lot! God bless you, new subscriber!
Am I doing something wrong? I keep doing exactly what the video says and my car won’t slow down at all. I spam the brake button and I still ram every fucking car in turn 1 or I basically stop. Such a waste of time I can’t even g
I actually absolutely love this mission. It is hard, but once you finish it it feels so good. I also like the diversity of things you have to do in the game. This racing / driving part is just another part of that. The original one was MUCH more brutal.
Omg thank you I just beat it on Classic difficulty, took me about 25 tries but I got it. I didn’t even use the ram button. Big thing is when you come to a turn don’t be afraid to slow way down by tapping the breaks, I feel like the ram button would just mess me up, and cutting through the grass is a huge plus, helps you pass a lot of people each lap, and oh finally if you’re not in at least 6th place after the first lap just restart cause you’re not catching up
Got it after a couple of hours or so after watching this video. What also helped me was remaining calm and not stressing about each fail and take it as a learning opportunity to improve and strategize.
Might because Illusion Softworks is Czech, which is the same nationality as SCS Software (developer of Euro Truck Simulator 2). Maybe they like driving sims a lot?
PSA The other racers are RNG based, meaning they can sometimes all bunch up after the first turn and you basically start the race in third or you'll be lucky to be in 12th. ALSO. If you are in first place they will skip the death animations and all drivers will stay in the race! However if you get passed then the next available death spot will trigger. The race I got the trophy only one driver wrecked, and it was where the third crash normally happens on the third lap, on lap 1. Pretty interesting info that might come in handy! If youre neck and neck coming into the end maybe let him pass and die at the big speed boost wall turn. Good luck! Like I said it's RNG based basically so it'll seem impossible then you'll have what seems like a god - run.
It works! Just follow exactly what he says, and you'll be able to manage. I was doing everything wrong before, just pressing buttons and expecting to win. Then I found this video, watched it, and started applying the tips. After a few races, I noticed I was getting better and better. From there, it was just a matter of putting everything together, and I managed to win the race. Thanks a lot, man! I'm going for that platinum!
i got lucky most cars crashed into the second scripted car and all blew up lol. Almost crashed too on third lap when i saw em. Whole road was full of em.
Thank you for this video. The ram button tip alone took me from struggling to get to 3rd by the end of lap 2. To beating the race first try after learning about the ram button tip. Plat here i come!
This video helped me pass this difficult level thank you so much!! The ram feature is really what helped be get better control of my vehicle. Also, Mafia Definitive Edition is so worth playing until the end. Truly a masterpiece
Thank you for this video. I tried every other method people were saying, but it didn’t help. I even tried the “cheating the AI” method, which people were saying was easy, but it was difficult as hell to me. I think the reason why this video helped me a lot was because not only did you explain the tips very well, but showed what buttons to press on the bottom-left corner. This video is a life saver. Also, I am subscribing to this channel too.
I cut the grass as soon as I saw it! it helped me gaining places in the first lap and time in the others, same for using other vehicles to slow down at turn 1, you also can cut a little bit the chicane but there is only one line to use and if you miss her your car will go airplane I think many of us would like a video about getting rid of the turret cuz there is no easy way to achieve that! it took me a good amount of time the first time I tried it in the definitive edition
I have just finished the race after 84 years... This mission drove me crazy but i got it done. I have some tips for you guys adding to this video. 1. Yes use the ram button but not too often. I used the ram button to push the second guy out in order to take second place(similar to the situation at 3:12) . And ram button can keep you car straighten out when it starts spinning. Make sure to slow down (tap tap tap the brake) before hit the ram to turn. 2. if you are on the 5th or 6th place. Keep driving. Maybe there's a chance that the second scripted car crash accidently stops other cars in front of you. 3. If you are on the last lap, you should be at 2-3 place. Otherwise, it's gonna be tough. But if you drive through the grass, it might increase the chance of getting to 3-4 place. 4. The first turn is CRUCIAL. Especially, on the last lap. On the last lap, I was at 4th place, I managed to slow down (keep tapping the brake or slightly long holding down the brake. NOT TOO LONG, depends on the speed to you are on) and turned and cut through the grass which led me to 3rd place. 5. If you are at second place on the last lap, you ARE WINNING, the win is in your hand. ALL you have to do is calm down and focus. DO NOT LOOK BACK (It';s gonna distract you and give you more anxiety). Drive carefully and the third scripted car crash will eliminate itself and you ll be at the 1st place. 6. Learning the tracks will give you the "feel" of the race without thinking too much because following exactly what the video showing might reduce your flexibility. Each time you restart might be different. Feel the track, feel the turns, feel the car. 7. Easy on gas. You might be angry at some point and press the gas HARRDDDDDDD which leads to crash and spinning. Yes I was like that. So stay calm and cool. At some turns, tap on the brake and tap on the gas. You might be able to gliding through the grass. I hope this help you guys, I know it's long but you will make it.
I just want to say Thank you ! 🎉 I was this close to uninstall this game and never play again after 60+ attempts literally after I saw this video I said to my self “I’m gonna win and I’m gonna use his strategies” over and over and once I used your tips my gooodness it worked like a charm , I’m so happy and relieved bcuz I was raging , and crying and even with the cheating videos and breaking AI didn’t even work for me. You sir is gods work ❤
Within half an hour of watching this video, I finished the race. Some key tips: no need to use A all that much and tapping the break button is what really helped me out. THANK YOU!
I was wondering why the other cars was faster than mine until I randomly switch the transmission from manual to automatic and now I suddenly zoom past everyone and won the race LMAO
Yeah that’s why you’re on a UA-cam tutorial lmao why do people try and show off when they clearly struggled and are now looking at videos on how to beat it 😂😂😂
Omg you absolute legend! Had been hacking away at this for days, maybe getting into 4th place if I was lucky for about a minute before being rammed into….but finally after seeing this video, I won it! The slowing down and pressing the ram button at the corners is key. Thanks again 💪🏻🕹️
I heard rumors that this race kicked a lot of people's asses. Once I got here, I was pulling my hair out trying to beat this damn thing. I couldn't even get to first place, much less stay there. But after this video and the tips provided, beat it on classic first try! Thank you so much!
Took me a few tries in classic difficulty. Maybe 1hr and a half or so. I just knew that mafia 2 has different car mechanics than what i’m used to (GTA V) and so i had i to expect Mafia 1 is too, maybe much harder so i did. Tip: 1. Don’t speed up in curves, try to think realistically. Would you speed up in real life when there’s a hard turn? Brake as hard as you can if you’re approaching a curve and you’re on full speed. 2. Do not rush, even if you’re second, if it’s still second lap heck maybe last lap, the first place will crash. Eventually, one of the cars ahead of you will crash, one way or another. 3. Remember to ram them ahead of you. 4. Try to take advantage of em. In the finish line, there is a very hard turn to the left ahead right? After that, try to surpass atleast one or two maybe three cars by going to the grass making a little shortcut. Grass don’t make you slower, just be careful when turning. USE BRAKES! Or just don’t accelerate and just turn.. Lastly, Repeat and get used to the mechanics of the game! 😊
Thanks for guide man, I recently got into Mafia since it released on game pass. Your tips about the ramming and cutting through the grass were the best ones. Suffered a few hours but got it done. I’m on 1st play through on classic so I was thrown to the sharks with this race. Can’t wait to continue the rest of the story. To anyone struggling with this persistence is key. You honestly have to get lucky. I’m glad I stuck with it.
I beat that race mission on classic difficulty, had to restart 5 times, but i manage to beat it and the whole game in classic plus got all achievements, am glad i played the whole game and enjoyed every minute of it.
Boy, I sure hope there's other racing missions in this game. I've been stuck for weeks and now I have to consult a youtube tutorial for guidance, so I hope all this time and effort isn't wasted on one mission. Thanks for making this by the way!
Yup, that did it. I applied the tips and felt the advantage and joy (finally) in the very first race. Before that it was a big struggle. After a few attempts of training I did it. Thank you.
Nice tips and thanks but im finding this impossible lol. Need to beat the classic playthrough for the platinum but no platinum is worth this shit! When you mess up and restart checkpoint that takes forever giving you more time to pull your hair out while you put the controller down. Ive played and beaten very hard games in my time but this is on another level.
so fun fact the game was a antique racing game and the publishers said it wouldn't sell, so they went back and made it into the Mafia we all know and love, but wanted to at least keep one race in it .... why it feels so out of place
@@Double_D989 It was pretty weird to me too but I have the video recorded. I messed up, thought I had to redo the entire race but decided to finish it anyway and won. 🤷♂
This shit still hard. I playing this now and restarted like 20 times already. Edit: I gave up. Fucking car keeps spinning out. Following the instructions from the video and everything. Shit is impossible
Thank you a lot! Not gonna lie, it's hard, because i have like 50 attempts since i finally did it. Very good hints you have herr in the video. Especially about timing and places the cars crashing. Again thank you!
Yeah, fuck this game, I bought it a long time ago. Everything was fine until I got to the stupid ass level. Uninstalled it. Figured I’d give it a try today reinstalled it followed your tips and I still can’t beat it.
@@i20coyote85 I just got this game on game pass, I've tried to beat this for like 2 hours. Because of your comment I'm gonna keep trying instead of uninstalling because I love mafia stuff
Jesus Christ im ready to break a controller tryna finish this mission it was hard enough getting the damn car to the track in under 2 mins BUT RACE IT TO WTF
This has helped me so much, when the trilogy was on sale I picked it up and had to switch from classic to hard for the race then back, but since I tried to replay it I’ve been stuck on the race for 2 months since I have to beat it on classic and I just beat it 5 tries after watching
When I was going for the platinum I was horrified for this race as most trophy guides made it seem like it was going to be a chore to come in first. When I finally made it to the race mission I just used the ram mechanic to perform tighter turns and I won after only one try and finished way before the person in second place
thank god for this video. took me about 10 tries... imo don't even bother if you get a bad start .... reload checkpoint if you're not at least in a healthy third place by half of first lap
Side note, DO NOT PRESS RAM while you’re steering. Only do it when your left stick is centered. If you do it while steering, at least on classic difficulty, the physics take a high dive into a flaming dumpster and you’ll somehow end up going sideways flat into a wall.
Im Happy That Someone made That Guide About This Race For Me on classic difficulty Was Easy But For some People Is Very Hard to make on that difficulty
THIS VIDEO ABSOLUTELY WORKS. In case you want a short summary, I suggest treating this race like a legit racing video game where you have to compensate for turns coming up by slowing down as much as you can, not making contact with other cars and treating the RAM button like a stabilizer while your tap/press the brake button at the same time so you drift into corners. Doing all that made me go from always last to just taking three tries.
I completed this after approx 20 attempts Have to say the ram function is the key imo, was for me anyway as those car are just awful at cornering and the ram function practically eliminates spinning out. Thanks for the tip 😊👍
By far the most helpful video I watched so far, none of the other ones really worked for me, then I watched this and beat it literally first try after
Took 2-3 tries but this shit Fs came in clutch for me

It's the way the car unpredictably spins out on the simple corners, then the straight up AUDACITY of the AI to call you an amateur as the drive past.

I was wondering why the other cars was faster than mine until I randomly switch the transmission from manual to automatic and now I suddenly zoom past everyone and won the race LMAO
Was trying for like 6 hours, even quit for a few hours, first vid I found and omg it worked, thankyou so much
Thank you very much I was trying so much for like 2 days and I couldn’t win but after I watched your video I did it thanks man I appreciate your work
Thank you so much. I spent two days playing this race over and over and over. After following the tips you gave, I beat it within a handful of tries.
It was actually very enjoyable replaying the race on classic after knowing how to drive in simulation mode
I agree 😂
Bro come do this race for me then cause I can’t beat it on classic mode
@@marmar_158have you finished it?
Yeah that’s why you’re on a UA-cam tutorial lmao why do people try and show off when they clearly struggled and are now looking at videos on how to beat it 😂😂😂
Omg you absolute legend! Had been hacking away at this for days, maybe getting into 4th place if I was lucky for about a minute before being rammed into….but finally after seeing this video, I won it! The slowing down and pressing the ram button at the corners is key. Thanks again 💪🏻🕹️
6:05 The original game at least had a glitch which allowed you complete the turns with a shortcut. It was much easier
They patched that glitch 😢
Ok this was actually really helpful, tried all your tips on the first try and won.
Thank you, seriously this was getting incredibly frustrating but these tips helped a bunch.
I heard rumors that this race kicked a lot of people's asses. Once I got here, I was pulling my hair out trying to beat this damn thing. I couldn't even get to first place, much less stay there. But after this video and the tips provided, beat it on classic first try! Thank you so much!
Cap for real
Thanks that helped me a lot😊 took me 2 more tries after watching this video and i made it !😄
Thank you. I'm not very good at racing games and was about to give up and uninstall, but this helped. The passing in the grass was the game changer.
Took me a few tries in classic difficulty. Maybe 1hr and a half or so. I just knew that mafia 2 has different car mechanics than what i’m used to (GTA V) and so i had i to expect Mafia 1 is too, maybe much harder so i did.
Tip: 1. Don’t speed up in curves, try to think realistically. Would you speed up in real life when there’s a hard turn? Brake as hard as you can if you’re approaching a curve and you’re on full speed.
2. Do not rush, even if you’re second, if it’s still second lap heck maybe last lap, the first place will crash. Eventually, one of the cars ahead of you will crash, one way or another.
3. Remember to ram them ahead of you.
4. Try to take advantage of em. In the finish line, there is a very hard turn to the left ahead right? After that, try to surpass atleast one or two maybe three cars by going to the grass making a little shortcut. Grass don’t make you slower, just be careful when turning. USE BRAKES! Or just don’t accelerate and just turn..
Lastly, Repeat and get used to the mechanics of the game! 😊
Thanks for guide man, I recently got into Mafia since it released on game pass. Your tips about the ramming and cutting through the grass were the best ones. Suffered a few hours but got it done. I’m on 1st play through on classic so I was thrown to the sharks with this race. Can’t wait to continue the rest of the story. To anyone struggling with this persistence is key. You honestly have to get lucky. I’m glad I stuck with it.
Is there anyway after the mission where I can kill all the other drivers?
Man...using ram option saved me alot. Thanks for the info.
Thank you so much your tips helped - played for hours and then did it on the 2nd run after seeing your video. Cheers.
Won the race 2nd try after watching this video. You are a legend! Time to platinum!
I beat that race mission on classic difficulty, had to restart 5 times, but i manage to beat it and the whole game in classic plus got all achievements, am glad i played the whole game and enjoyed every minute of it.
Boy, I sure hope there's other racing missions in this game. I've been stuck for weeks and now I have to consult a youtube tutorial for guidance, so I hope all this time and effort isn't wasted on one mission. Thanks for making this by the way!
Yup, that did it. I applied the tips and felt the advantage and joy (finally) in the very first race. Before that it was a big struggle. After a few attempts of training I did it.
Thank you.
AFTER 2 hours of frustrating gameplay I listened to your video and with the power of "ram" I won it in a first attempt. THANK YOU!
Brother,because after this video you are like a family member for me,i thank you and i wish you the best,along with the sub and the like
I struggled more with shooting down the plane than the race lol
I always turn on the limiter before the first turn, so I can easily slow down myself and make the turn without spinning
Got it within 5 tries after watching this. Thanks!
Nice tips and thanks but im finding this impossible lol. Need to beat the classic playthrough for the platinum but no platinum is worth this shit! When you mess up and restart checkpoint that takes forever giving you more time to pull your hair out while you put the controller down. Ive played and beaten very hard games in my time but this is on another level.
Thanks man. It's my first time playing the mafia series, so now I know where to go if I need help with anything else.
Whoever had the idea of putting racing missions in essentially, what is a third person shooter must have been on something
so fun fact the game was a antique racing game and the publishers said it wouldn't sell, so they went back and made it into the Mafia we all know and love, but wanted to at least keep one race in it .... why it feels so out of place
This video was from the heavens I can not thank you enough you are a gods send
My man. I followed your tips and won the first time I tried. I even screwed up once during it but still managed to win it. Thank you so much
Im sorry but I call bullshit. You are literally forced to reload checkpoint on a single mistake.
@@Double_D989 It was pretty weird to me too but I have the video recorded. I messed up, thought I had to redo the entire race but decided to finish it anyway and won. 🤷♂
HOW CAN YOU LOSE? I CRASHED LIKE 6 TIMES AND SPUN OUT AND ENDED BACKWARDS IN THE STRAW BALES, STILL WON 1ST TRY
Bullshit lmao you're factually wrong since I suck at driving and still won
@@psilovecybin5940 STOP PLAYING ON FUCKING EASY
Thank you so much, this guide helped me win in less that 4 attempts. Solid work
This shit still hard. I playing this now and restarted like 20 times already. Edit: I gave up. Fucking car keeps spinning out. Following the instructions from the video and everything. Shit is impossible
I'm from Detroit too, and I'm telling you it isn't. I beat this shit a few years ago. It's frustrating as hell, but it's entirely possible.
Finished it on the 4th after watching this! I really appreciate the hints it really helped a lot!
worst driving mechanics ive ever seen in a game
You are fkin legend man, got it first try after watching your video, thanks.
Whoo!! I just got this damn trophy!!
Let's go!!!
I did everything you said! This video was Amazing!!!
Well dango hell!!
I beat it! Came in first on my first try after watching this!!!
HELL YEAH BROTHER!!
🤗🤘🏻💪🏻
Thanx a mucho yo!
Thank you a lot! Not gonna lie, it's hard, because i have like 50 attempts since i finally did it. Very good hints you have herr in the video. Especially about timing and places the cars crashing. Again thank you!
Yeah, fuck this game, I bought it a long time ago. Everything was fine until I got to the stupid ass level. Uninstalled it. Figured I’d give it a try today reinstalled it followed your tips and I still can’t beat it.
The rest of the game is great this mission really ruins it
@@i20coyote85 I just got this game on game pass, I've tried to beat this for like 2 hours. Because of your comment I'm gonna keep trying instead of uninstalling because I love mafia stuff
@@zekelodge4898 You can do it. It's really worth it, the game is great and a lot of cool missions after this one.
skill issue
@@nandoman4769 Grow up.
I quit the game a year ago, came back equipped with these tips and I did it in 3 tries. Thank you so much!
Jesus Christ im ready to break a controller tryna finish this mission it was hard enough getting the damn car to the track in under 2 mins BUT RACE IT TO WTF
Dude you have no idea how much this means; THANK YOU!
Decided to re-create this video since original video had speedometer disabled and no controller on screen to show you what buttons to press.
That's a man who cares about his viewers
This has helped me so much, when the trilogy was on sale I picked it up and had to switch from classic to hard for the race then back, but since I tried to replay it I’ve been stuck on the race for 2 months since I have to beat it on classic and I just beat it 5 tries after watching
When I was going for the platinum I was horrified for this race as most trophy guides made it seem like it was going to be a chore to come in first. When I finally made it to the race mission I just used the ram mechanic to perform tighter turns and I won after only one try and finished way before the person in second place
Lies
thank god for this video. took me about 10 tries... imo don't even bother if you get a bad start .... reload checkpoint if you're not at least in a healthy third place by half of first lap
Side note, DO NOT PRESS RAM while you’re steering. Only do it when your left stick is centered. If you do it while steering, at least on classic difficulty, the physics take a high dive into a flaming dumpster and you’ll somehow end up going sideways flat into a wall.
I just won the race the moment Im writing this... feels surreal. Thanks a lot. Your video helped a lot.
Im Happy That Someone made That Guide About This Race For Me on classic difficulty Was Easy But For some People Is Very Hard to make on that difficulty
hey bro do you play on playstation? if so could you help me with this race on shareplay please? im struggling bad.
@@shaw7Sorry no can do I played on Pc And On Xbox One just try use this guide about this Race you can do it 😁
THIS VIDEO ABSOLUTELY WORKS. In case you want a short summary, I suggest treating this race like a legit racing video game where you have to compensate for turns coming up by slowing down as much as you can, not making contact with other cars and treating the RAM button like a stabilizer while your tap/press the brake button at the same time so you drift into corners. Doing all that made me go from always last to just taking three tries.
I gave up on this mission and moved on to mafia 2 and 3 shit is ridiculous
How I feel rn😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So ridiculous n*ggas had to search it up
Thank you for this I was able to complete this race with your help now I'm able to complete the game and get the made man achievement.
Yeah even with this the game is getting refunded, nastiest shit I’ve ever played 😭
VERY HELPFUL To anyone struggling and ending up 14/16 watch this video i got it in 3 tries after watching
I completed this after approx 20 attempts
Have to say the ram function is the key imo, was for me anyway as those car are just awful at cornering and the ram function practically eliminates spinning out.
Thanks for the tip 😊👍
After plenty of tutorials, this one actually worked! Also for the motivational part! TOP
