Works 8/17/2024. Thanks man, was struggling with the other cheese guides. The position where you put the car was the best of all of them and it worked first try.
Worked today as of 27/08/2024. Can confirm after trying other guides on this method, this one worked first try, even with accidentlly lettings two cars out ahead of me. I will ensure that any future generation in my family is named "A Welcome Distraction" after you. Thank you.
ADVICE: Patience is key and copy this video EXACTLY. After dozens of failed attempts I looked carefully at the exact position of the car in this video and replicated it and voila! I got it first time. Now, in the first pile up roughly 5 cars escaped and continued the race but do not restart, just wait for them to do another lap and then smash into the back of the pile. Again, a few cars escaped and continued the race but eventually they all bundled up exactly like this video (although none tipped over). Roughly 4/5 cars at the front of the pack began to emit dark smoke and were stuck in place (not sure if they had broken down as a result of damage or if it glitches out) but I moved my car out the way and the front cars did not move. Then complete the race yourself being very mindful when passing by this corner and you'll have it in no time. Again, patience is key, keep replicating this exact method and I have no doubt you'll get it eventually. Put a podcast on while doing it to distract yourself so it doesn't become mind numbly boring, Thank you for this video, you're a legend :)
@@awelcomedistraction1355 No, thank you again! I would never have been able to win this race without your exploit. I am now enjoying the rest of the game
It took me a while but it still works. Thanks for the video my dude. Fuck this race, i almost refunded the game. For all the people justifying this atrocity saying "um actually its pretty accurate for 1930s racing" yeah great but i didnt buy a fucking racong sim.
You could just change the difficulty? I suck at racing games and managed to beat the race in 1-2 hours so its definitely not easy, but that’s what you get when you select the hardest difficulty…
OMG this video helped me get the mission done. I've tried for few hours to get this race on Classic difficulty but did it on 2nd attempt using this method. Thank you man!
Another tip on this mission is there are 3 scripted exits from the race. They happen 1 per lap. The first car is the car you sabotage in the mission before, then two more cars will wreck on each subsequent lap. All you need to secure victory is to pile up 12 racers in the turn. As you pass them each lap, the game will subtract the additional car from the pile. Giving you 1st place.
Ok, that is brilliant^^ I knew, that, if you can make the other cars somehow stuck on the track, you can achieve an easy win. But i never thought of THAT
I’m definitely not the first to do this. I was trying this method but in a slightly different spot but it wasn’t working for me so I tried this location and it worked much easier. It was the only part of the classic difficulty I couldn’t do myself.
@@awelcomedistraction1355 I did it!! Even had to be careful because i had one Racing with me lol, thank you so much!! You dont know how grateful am i !!
This does work. It took me a few tries, and i managed to do it. 1 racer broke away, but he was a scriptes crash and wiped on the massive turn you take before the finish line. If you see people magically ahead of you. They might be scripted crashes. Otherwise you need to redo it It felt like the game spawned two cars in front of me on lap 3. But another crashed out, and the other who i think was supposed to crash got stuck on the pile again.
Just completed it on my 5th attempt Tips: -let them crash into you broadside to help the initial pile up, if any get flipped or sideways thats a bonus -Hold handbrake so they dont push you away -the AI will try to not bump into you when trying to correct themselves, so you can shepherd/corral them in a way they dont move too much -They will try to reverse a little to make room to get around you -wait 5 or 6 minutes for a couple of cars to break down, allowing you to move off while they keep the rest jammed -watch for cars that dont turn their steering wheels - these cars have broken down, use them to block the others by knocking them sideways to act as a barrier -its ok if 3 or 4 get around, they will crash into the pack of the pile up on the next lap which should help with keeping them all together -if the commentator says that the leaders are on the final lap, restart because one of the cars got through twice It is quite annoying, i got 2nd place on my first attempt after watching this video, but it went bad on attempts 2 - 4. So dont fret if you feel its not working, use the time to watch the AI and how they might free themselves
Thank you! You're a good man, and have just saved whatever hair I still rock on my scalp lol. Using your vehicle placement I got it on a second try. (Works on XSX, so latest patch, Aug 2024)
I don’t know how i managed to to win this race at first time i played this game… i replayed this game last year, and i was still stuck here, but thanksfully now i know how to do… worst mission ever since “Cesar Vialpando”
It took some time, a few tries, and what little ounce of sweat, tears, and toil I had concerning this damn race, but it worked! IT FLIPPIN' WORKED!!! Thank you so very much. You would not believe the headache I had on this race. I used every tip in the book, but it still wasn't enough. I'm no freakin' racer. Now, I can get back to completing the rest of the game on Classic difficulty. The other missions can't be as bas as this one, especially since I have high aim assist (in advance for "A Trip To The Country").
Just got it thanks to this video! Pay attention to the exact position of the car in this video. I was estimating and doing it close the first few times, and wasn't getting it. Recreating the exact position of this video had me get it on the first try. ALSO a few cars got through the first time, but there was still a pretty significant traffic jam that those drivers got stuck during the 2nd or 3rd laps. So don't give up right away if you don't stop them all on that first lap. As long as you still have a traffic jam taking up most of that corner, the others will probably get stuck trying to pass it coming back around.
This method is surely hard as well, after 20 attempts I finally made it, compared with the race itself this is way easier and worth to try, thanks for the guide!
Worked on 16 Sep 24. Finally managed to get through this ridiculous level after 50+ attempts the legit way, and about 5 attempts this way. I dont see why changing your game mode to a harder setting would equate to driving as if it was on ice, but I'm glad its over. The positioning in this video is perfect, but still be aware of some RNG. Sometimes, they'll burst through and knock you out the way. What worked for me was ramming the lead couple of vehicles until they started emitting heavy smoke, it kinda seemed to immobilise them leaving the cars behind stuck. I seriously can't thank you enough! This level is a totally unnecessary frustrating blip in an otherwise great game and game mode.
@@patm97 I agree. Not sure why the difficulty jumped so much more for the race on Classic Mode. Glad it helped and you got through it. Enjoy the rest of it. 👊
😅 at this point I don’t know if getting the glitch to work in your favor is more annoying than me trying to win this race legit idk maybe I just suck 😭 😵
@@awelcomedistraction1355 It does not work for me on ps5. I think i already tried 3 hours. After they all got stuck and i start driving for some reason they get free
Are we sure Tommy’s car wasn’t sabotaged too? Edit: I did it, your best bet is pushing a car to its side so it blocks the others, once you know that car is blocking them you’re home free, some will escape, but will just end up back in the pile.
I have been trying for hours and have only achieved a nearly broken hand. Lost my past two attempts to a single guy who I seem to never see and who never gets tangled up with the other cars. I’ll update whenever I finish this, if I do.
Did finish it legit, was hard as hell but after a while of barely skidding and losing, I was able to have no major setbacks on my final attempt. This mission hurt more than my ex breaking up with me lmao
Work 9/6/24. Been on this mission a whole week. What were they thinking??? Also, i did have my game on the hard difficulty. Had to switch to classic, then switch back adter beating it
This is pure luck. Every time some of the cars go through. Even if everyone gets blocked the moment I drive off they all start coming too. Sometimes they're still and others they're constantly reversing to be able to get out of the pile up. You also can't pusht he other cars into worse positions if it means moving the slightest bit will allow another carthrough. IDK how this mission didn't SINK this franchise. To think this came out back when there was no online updates!?!? The fact this POS mission never got updated is insane.
Just want to say that this game had me hooked from the start , it looks amazing on my PC but then this fkn race came up, I was so confused to how a race and be so hard . And then I saw this video and I was so confused on how this was so damn hard ! But after about 30 tries later I made it work. Once you have at least !! 2 flipped cars . Come from behind and destroy at least one more car . But damn it I finally did it 9/23/24
@@randysantana5627 Glad to hear. It’s such a good game and the race on Classic is so frustratingly hard that it almost makes you want to quit. Happy you stuck with it and passed.
@@raidhem1832 I hope you’ll come back to it at some point to get past this. The rest of the game is great and it sucks to see you give up. I know you can do it. Give a day or two, a week even, and try again. You will get it even if it takes multiple tries. 👊
@@its.Sarthak101 I feel that there is some spots where they have more speed vs other spots where they slow down more. Play around with slightly different spots to see where they slow the most. I feel the spot I used is best but somewhere else might work better for you. Other than that, it’s a bit of trial and error I’m afraid. Keep at it. It’ll work one of the times.
@@awelcomedistraction1355 yeah idk it is more fun than actually racing 😂. I made 2-3 pile ups but cars escaped once I went to complete the lap. I finished 3rd once but I think I can pull this off.
@@awelcomedistraction1355 hey man, just want to let you know I finally did it. It took me about 15 attempts to pull this. I made sure that no one moves by destroying every single car. I was anxious when two slipped through the pile up but those were scripted cars so that was a relief. Well, that's all, thanks a lot for your help. Stay strong.
Thank you man ❤ after my 3rd attempt I was able to get it down. A few cars got loose but they eventually got stuck in the cars again. I’m getting that trophy no matter what 💯
I dunno what's going on, but i can make them stack and crash but hte instant i drive away they'reall miraculously back to normal and overtaking me again, maybe this has been patchd out oas of september?
@@count23all Not sure. After I beat this race, I beat the story, found all the foxes, got the platinum trophy, and deleted it. I don’t think they did, but I’m not 100%.
@@awelcomedistraction1355 it's weird, i've done it 3 times now, even one time wehre two cars were on thier side and clearly blocking everyone from moving, by the time ihit the first lap marker i could see that the first second and third place cars were coming up behind me again...
Same exact thing is happening to me. I'm seriously considering uninstalling this game and moving onto Mafia 2. If I wanted to play a difficult race I'd play a fucking racing game.
this method does work but i didnt do it exactly tip for those that cant get this exact result to do this in one try if cars go around you just wait until they do another lap they will all pile up eventually so just be paitent i was in 6th place until i passed the pile up at the 3rd lap also becareful not to hit the fence trying get into position turns out now matter how slow you are going your car gets wrecked learned that the hard way
@@awelcomedistraction1355 no problem was trying to do what you did exactly but some drivers were still just going around me so decided to see what would happen if i just waited only downfall is that the pile up gets too mess and blocks the whole road its not as neat as your video but you get it done either way
After 20 attempts trying to get the ai to stop I finally got 2 race cars to flip over but even when I did that they some how seem to get back moving again once I drive around, so I decided to give up cheating and won the race pretty easily on classic lol. Spent all that time trying to rig the race and won playing normally😂
@@luxyors I watched a tutorial on tips to win. What really helped is taking the grass short cut and pressing A(X on PlayStation) when you’re about to lose control. Don’t over press it tho. Also tap the brake to slow down instead of slamming it. The AI will stay relative to your speed, I noticed when I took turns slow they did as well. Also the AI will crash here and there. I tried 30-40 times the cheat way and passed normally in my 7-8th attempt normally on classic.
Ps5 - I get all of the car stuck and then take the 1 lap. Once I get back to the point on the map where the cars are piled up they all begin to drive. Even the cars that were flipped over. Is there something I’m missing?
@@jakejanek8482 I know some are programmed to crash but I’m not sure if it’s certain cars or if one of the cars that slips through will crash. I would say if one gets through, keep going and you might get lucky. Other than that, I think it’s a bit of luck as well on how they end up crashing into each other. Keep at it. It’ll happen eventually.
@@oso_firme Not sure. They’re better than me. Don’t give up though, this is the only truly hard part for Classic Mode. After this, you’ll be enjoying the game again.
@@awelcomedistraction1355 thanks bro. completing the game on Classic is the last trophy I need for a platinum man, I just wanna beat this damn level already 😭
I was about to finish this race after tons of attempts, finally i was in first place and in the last straight part someone won me by like 0.5 seconds, literally impossible for me to win by speed only by blocking him but i didnt expect it and was already seeing myself finishing the race, i had enough and just used a save after the race i downloaded from internet
Idk why i cant get the cars to pile up the same way i had them all stuck at one point and on the final lap i javw no idea what happened but they all got loose making me lose again
@@Riddlywiddly That happened to me a few times. They wiggle around going backwards and forwards and sometimes they get unstuck. Keep trying. They’ll crash in a group that will work and you’ll lap them. Unfortunately it can take multiple tries.
@@internetcriminal5652 Far as I know it should still work. I’d have to look up and see if they made any updates. There are other videos of similar technique that are way older than my video so I doubt they would patch it now. Let me know if you get it to work.
The best thing to do is to set the difficulty to easy and before entering the finish line change to the difficulty you had set (if you set it to classic you will get a trophy). This way you will pass this race without problems.
At least on PS5 it works perfectly, tested just this week. Trophy “Supercharged”. Anyway, the important thing for me was to manage to advance and pass the damn race, which has an absurd difficulty.
@@dominoleafy8157 I had multiple times where the cars would hit me and go around. Keep trying and you’ll get a lucky combo of the NPCs crashing in a way that will allow you to leave them and start lapping. Keep at it.
Idk if they patched it or what, but I found it fairly easy without any tips, won in the 4th attempt, got suggested this video cuz I was looking to find all the foxes 😂. I did however play the OG game over 20 years ago a lot and still remember how to drive to not crash. I always loved this mission back then, I used to play it over and over to beat my own time and it was much harder than this new version.
Hey man, attempting this now. Any tips for what went right? I’m trying the same exact method and it feels like a complete crapshoot to get the right circumstances for this to happen? Was there anything that felt like it was right or wrong attempt? Sorry if this doesn’t make total sense, overwhelmed with anger at this stupid mission.
@@bedroomdrummer Both corners of this corkscrew turn here have the NPC cars slowing down. You can try the other part of the curve there but I had more cars go around me at that spot. The spot shown in the video is the only one that worked. Even that took me multiple tries. I feel it’s all about finding that perfect position in these spots. Keep at it and it’ll happen eventually. The sigh of relief after you get this will be the best feeling ever.
Trying to replicate this in version 1.04 of the game and every time I return to the spot with the crashed cars they have disappeared and are racing as normal on the track. Am I doing something wrong?
@@schulz-xo8fz I did notice on a few tries that as they move back and forth they can sometimes get unstuck and continue racing. I don’t believe they disappear and respawn. There is also other videos of this technique that were uploaded before mine that might be of more help. Just keep at it and try to get them totally jammed so you can lap them. You got this.
@@awelcomedistraction1355Finally done. With some luck I managed to block permanently the cars. Can't wait to enjoy the actual game. Thanks again for the spot in the video
The quickest way to spare you from the headache of this mission is to download the mod in Nexus 'Easy Race' and then paste the file into the respective folder in the game directory.
@@alexhay7446 No shame in that. I play a lot of games on lower difficulties. I want to enjoy it not rip my hair out and throw my controller through the TV.
I beat it so here are some tips. Flipped cars reset while broken down cars stay there. The mkre broken cars the better Obviously dont kill yourself If the cars get by and continue after you reach them on the lap wait again for them to get stuck again behind the broken cars
@@awelcomedistraction1355 I didn't know either til my last round. I had 8 cars exploded in a triangle which trapped everyone. The flipped car I had to the side let 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th get by. Just wait and let them get stuck again and you're set
this mission is harder than any dark souls bosses
FOR REAL DUDE I RAGED MORE IN THIS MISSION MORE THAN F*CKING MALENIA

I have been trying for hours and have only achieved a nearly broken hand. Lost my past two attempts to a single guy who I seem to never see and who never gets tangled up with the other cars. I’ll update whenever I finish this, if I do.
Did finish it legit, was hard as hell but after a while of barely skidding and losing, I was able to have no major setbacks on my final attempt. This mission hurt more than my ex breaking up with me lmao
This fucking works. You're a genius!! Absolutely the worst level on a hard difficulty ever created.
@@bobvanka I agree. Glad you got past it. 👊
THANK YOU BRO YOUR A LIFESAVER MAN 🙏
@@kevinsimon3111 Hell yeah! Happy that it worked for you. 😁🤘
Work 9/6/24. Been on this mission a whole week. What were they thinking??? Also, i did have my game on the hard difficulty. Had to switch to classic, then switch back adter beating it
Wasn’t working for me! They keep bobbing and weaving out of jam-ups 🤷🏾♂️
same
Did you ever beat it?
Update: I got it to work the same day. It works. It took me 15-20 tries
@@DialloMoore503 Yea lmao, most irritating thing in video game history!.
@@shakal8528 yep lol
THANK YOU ITS BEEN 2 DAYS
Funniest thing I've seen for a while. Won like a gangster lol. Just bought game but not played yet. The race keeps coming up on my feed though.
This is pure luck. Every time some of the cars go through. Even if everyone gets blocked the moment I drive off they all start coming too. Sometimes they're still and others they're constantly reversing to be able to get out of the pile up. You also can't pusht he other cars into worse positions if it means moving the slightest bit will allow another carthrough.
IDK how this mission didn't SINK this franchise. To think this came out back when there was no online updates!?!? The fact this POS mission never got updated is insane.
Just want to say that this game had me hooked from the start , it looks amazing on my PC but then this fkn race came up, I was so confused to how a race and be so hard . And then I saw this video and I was so confused on how this was so damn hard ! But after about 30 tries later I made it work. Once you have at least !! 2 flipped cars . Come from behind and destroy at least one more car . But damn it I finally did it 9/23/24
@@randysantana5627 Glad to hear. It’s such a good game and the race on Classic is so frustratingly hard that it almost makes you want to quit. Happy you stuck with it and passed.
Still Works! I almost gave up until I watched this
@@hernan.aleman16 Yay! Awesome to hear.
Me to😂
Even like that i can't fucking do it I'm going insane
Been an it for an hour, I'm giving up. Fuck this classic trophy, fuck the devs
@@raidhem1832 I hope you’ll come back to it at some point to get past this. The rest of the game is great and it sucks to see you give up. I know you can do it. Give a day or two, a week even, and try again. You will get it even if it takes multiple tries. 👊
@@raidhem1832I feel you i been at it for 2hr the closest I got was second place
@@awelcomedistraction1355if I have to wait a week or two to beat this I’m not even gonna remember the story any more lol
@@ChumpyDumps I hate when that happens. Hopefully everyone can beats this race quickly and get back to the good stuff.
I need help with this. whenever I tries to do pile up the cars knocks me off the way like nothing.
@@its.Sarthak101 I feel that there is some spots where they have more speed vs other spots where they slow down more. Play around with slightly different spots to see where they slow the most. I feel the spot I used is best but somewhere else might work better for you. Other than that, it’s a bit of trial and error I’m afraid. Keep at it. It’ll work one of the times.
@@awelcomedistraction1355 yeah idk it is more fun than actually racing 😂. I made 2-3 pile ups but cars escaped once I went to complete the lap. I finished 3rd once but I think I can pull this off.
@@its.Sarthak101 You definitely can. It can be time consuming and a pain in the ass but you’ll definitely get it. Let me know once you win. 🏆
@@awelcomedistraction1355 hey man, just want to let you know I finally did it. It took me about 15 attempts to pull this. I made sure that no one moves by destroying every single car. I was anxious when two slipped through the pile up but those were scripted cars so that was a relief. Well, that's all, thanks a lot for your help. Stay strong.
@@its.Sarthak101 Whooo! That makes me happy you persevered and beat it. That’s awesome. 😎 Enjoy the rest of the game.
No me salió exactamente como en el video pero igual me sirvió para la misión, muchas gracias bro 😎
@@juanjosebauflo5403 De nada, mi amigo. 👊
Thank you man ❤ after my 3rd attempt I was able to get it down. A few cars got loose but they eventually got stuck in the cars again. I’m getting that trophy no matter what 💯

Only video that worked for me. Still took a few tries just gotta make sure the crashed out cars block the road

The problem for me is they eventually do start to reverse out.
It doesn't work how I put my car where u put ur car and the just drive passed
@@frazel2143 Keep at it. Some of it is luck. Took me multiple times before I got it just right. You got this.
It does not work for me. Tried for hours. I stay on the exact position but always more than half get through.

This is going to be the end of me, the patience you need for this 😆

I dunno what's going on, but i can make them stack and crash but hte instant i drive away they'reall miraculously back to normal and overtaking me again, maybe this has been patchd out oas of september?
@@count23all Not sure. After I beat this race, I beat the story, found all the foxes, got the platinum trophy, and deleted it. I don’t think they did, but I’m not 100%.
@@awelcomedistraction1355 it's weird, i've done it 3 times now, even one time wehre two cars were on thier side and clearly blocking everyone from moving, by the time ihit the first lap marker i could see that the first second and third place cars were coming up behind me again...
Same exact thing is happening to me. I'm seriously considering uninstalling this game and moving onto Mafia 2. If I wanted to play a difficult race I'd play a fucking racing game.
thx i needed this
@@drunkenmaster888 You’re very welcome. Thank you as well.
After taking the L on classic mode 100 times im goin to try this way🎉
@@DxrkIron Props to you for sticking to it for so long. Hope you get it so you can finish the game. 😁
@@awelcomedistraction1355 took Me 7 tries got it done your a legend thank you
@@DxrkIron Happy to hear. 😁
@@awelcomedistraction1355 I just stated mafia 2 remake looks shity too many glitches and bugs
this method does work but i didnt do it exactly tip for those that cant get this exact result to do this in one try if cars go around you just wait until they do another lap they will all pile up eventually so just be paitent i was in 6th place until i passed the pile up at the 3rd lap also becareful not to hit the fence trying get into position turns out now matter how slow you are going your car gets wrecked learned that the hard way
@@Fullmetal1222 Love the extra feedback. Thanks. The more people who can get past this, the better.
@@awelcomedistraction1355 no problem was trying to do what you did exactly but some drivers were still just going around me so decided to see what would happen if i just waited only downfall is that the pile up gets too mess and blocks the whole road its not as neat as your video but you get it done either way
2 HOURS trying
so i changed the difficult to easy and helped a lot i got the achievement anyway
@@DerickC_ Glad it worked out in the end. 😁🏆
you changed the difficulty?
After 20 attempts trying to get the ai to stop I finally got 2 race cars to flip over but even when I did that they some how seem to get back moving again once I drive around, so I decided to give up cheating and won the race pretty easily on classic lol. Spent all that time trying to rig the race and won playing normally😂
@@NeverBelowCEO You are batter than I. 😂 I was about to pull an Elvis and shoot my TV if I kept at it normally.
This is exactly what happens in my game lol i think it's patched on PS5, I'll have to try to win this the legal way
@@luxyors I watched a tutorial on tips to win. What really helped is taking the grass short cut and pressing A(X on PlayStation) when you’re about to lose control. Don’t over press it tho. Also tap the brake to slow down instead of slamming it. The AI will stay relative to your speed, I noticed when I took turns slow they did as well. Also the AI will crash here and there. I tried 30-40 times the cheat way and passed normally in my 7-8th attempt normally on classic.
@@NeverBelowCEO I tried this and it helped me, thanks dude, I was stuck in this race for too long!
Ps5 - I get all of the car stuck and then take the 1 lap. Once I get back to the point on the map where the cars are piled up they all begin to drive. Even the cars that were flipped over. Is there something I’m missing?
@@jakejanek8482 I know some are programmed to crash but I’m not sure if it’s certain cars or if one of the cars that slips through will crash. I would say if one gets through, keep going and you might get lucky. Other than that, I think it’s a bit of luck as well on how they end up crashing into each other. Keep at it. It’ll happen eventually.
i swear i took more time in this race then all souls like
So many people in the comments saying they got it on the first try, bruh HOW?! This shit is impossible I've been trying this for hours 😭😭
@@oso_firme Not sure. They’re better than me. Don’t give up though, this is the only truly hard part for Classic Mode. After this, you’ll be enjoying the game again.
@@awelcomedistraction1355 thanks bro. completing the game on Classic is the last trophy I need for a platinum man, I just wanna beat this damn level already 😭
Whoever made this mission should go to hell
He will, there's a special place there for him
Well take me 21 minutes after multiple actual takes but it's finally done
@@platypusnoise That’s so awesome. Glad you stuck with it and got past it. 😎👊
You are a god amongst men.
This single race ruined the game for me. Super frustrating
I was about to finish this race after tons of attempts, finally i was in first place and in the last straight part someone won me by like 0.5 seconds, literally impossible for me to win by speed only by blocking him but i didnt expect it and was already seeing myself finishing the race, i had enough and just used a save after the race i downloaded from internet
Idk why i cant get the cars to pile up the same way i had them all stuck at one point and on the final lap i javw no idea what happened but they all got loose making me lose again
@@Riddlywiddly That happened to me a few times. They wiggle around going backwards and forwards and sometimes they get unstuck. Keep trying. They’ll crash in a group that will work and you’ll lap them. Unfortunately it can take multiple tries.
Thank u, it worked like a charm
Oh my lord thands
Is this patched cause some cars just pass by without piling up
@@internetcriminal5652 Far as I know it should still work. I’d have to look up and see if they made any updates. There are other videos of similar technique that are way older than my video so I doubt they would patch it now. Let me know if you get it to work.
I managed to beat the race properly after 4 failed attempts. This tip would've made it way less stressful. Fuck forced missions like this one.
The best thing to do is to set the difficulty to easy and before entering the finish line change to the difficulty you had set (if you set it to classic you will get a trophy). This way you will pass this race without problems.
@@Lobitoxxxxxx I had no idea you could do that and it’d count. That’s awesome. 👍
That doesn’t work. I specifically tried it years ago when I got the platinum.
At least on PS5 it works perfectly, tested just this week. Trophy “Supercharged”. Anyway, the important thing for me was to manage to advance and pass the damn race, which has an absurd difficulty.
I need help I can’t win normally and for some reason every time I try the hit me out of the way and go around
@@dominoleafy8157 I had multiple times where the cars would hit me and go around. Keep trying and you’ll get a lucky combo of the NPCs crashing in a way that will allow you to leave them and start lapping. Keep at it.
Still works as of 13/9/2024
If you don't get it on the first try, you might be doing something wrong it took me like 10 trys before I got it
@@Trusty_ralling-4wmm5 Love to see you got there in the end. 😁
Idk if they patched it or what, but I found it fairly easy without any tips, won in the 4th attempt, got suggested this video cuz I was looking to find all the foxes 😂. I did however play the OG game over 20 years ago a lot and still remember how to drive to not crash. I always loved this mission back then, I used to play it over and over to beat my own time and it was much harder than this new version.
Great race!

on PS5 you can switch difficulty before the ending and still get the trophy classic race. It works on 20/08/2024
@@DevilMayPodcastYT Just found about this the other day. Good to know it works. Probably easier than this method.
@DevilMayPodcastYT did you still get the Made Man Trophy for being the game on classic after changing difficulty
@@awelcomedistraction1355 where did you find this out at and did they get the made man trophy after beating the game after changing difficulty?
Yeah how about the Xbox achievement? For made men. Can you switch it to easy?
@Troybit i want to know the same thing
I love you so much thank you i am going to put you in my will
@@RadiPlaysGames2 I accept and I love you too. 😘
Hey man, attempting this now. Any tips for what went right? I’m trying the same exact method and it feels like a complete crapshoot to get the right circumstances for this to happen? Was there anything that felt like it was right or wrong attempt? Sorry if this doesn’t make total sense, overwhelmed with anger at this stupid mission.
@@bedroomdrummer Both corners of this corkscrew turn here have the NPC cars slowing down. You can try the other part of the curve there but I had more cars go around me at that spot. The spot shown in the video is the only one that worked. Even that took me multiple tries. I feel it’s all about finding that perfect position in these spots. Keep at it and it’ll happen eventually. The sigh of relief after you get this will be the best feeling ever.
Trying to replicate this in version 1.04 of the game and every time I return to the spot with the crashed cars they have disappeared and are racing as normal on the track. Am I doing something wrong?
@@schulz-xo8fz I did notice on a few tries that as they move back and forth they can sometimes get unstuck and continue racing. I don’t believe they disappear and respawn.
There is also other videos of this technique that were uploaded before mine that might be of more help. Just keep at it and try to get them totally jammed so you can lap them. You got this.
@@awelcomedistraction1355Finally done. With some luck I managed to block permanently the cars. Can't wait to enjoy the actual game. Thanks again for the spot in the video
@@schulz-xo8fz That’s awesome! Glad you got it. Rest of the game is nowhere near as hard as that race. Enjoy it.
@@schulz-xo8fz That’s awesome! Glad you got it. Rest of the game is nowhere near as hard as that race. Enjoy it.
In the original game they was also a cheat but don't remember what it was now as far as I remember there was a different shortcut
The quickest way to spare you from the headache of this mission is to download the mod in Nexus 'Easy Race' and then paste the file into the respective folder in the game directory.
The ai just pushes me out the way imma kms
Guys dont panic if all the cars dont pile up. When they finish the first lap they'll still pile up there
I pussied out and lowered the difficulty lol

I beat it so here are some tips.
Flipped cars reset while broken down cars stay there. The mkre broken cars the better
Obviously dont kill yourself
If the cars get by and continue after you reach them on the lap wait again for them to get stuck again behind the broken cars
@@bballchampion6576 Didn’t realize flipped cars reset. Really good to know. Thanks!
@@awelcomedistraction1355 I didn't know either til my last round. I had 8 cars exploded in a triangle which trapped everyone. The flipped car I had to the side let 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th get by. Just wait and let them get stuck again and you're set
