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.
@laythz5123 I'm doing that rn and I've never wanted to break my controller so badly. I've never broken a controller before but I swear to God im about to
@@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
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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 ❤
Yeah that’s why you’re on a RUclips tutorial lmao why do people try and show off when they clearly struggled and are now looking at videos on how to beat it 😂😂😂
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
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!
I actually beat this mission on first try (and with simulation settings) and i'm just finding out that everyone else hates this mission I guess all that time playing Wreckfest paid off pretty well huh.
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 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.
@@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. 🤷♂
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!
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
Thanks bro, I won it 20min after watching your video carefully, The thing is you cnt worries about the front 3, they all gonna crash out the race, so from yu in the top 5 keep going and make less mistake or touching while driving 🚗....
I had nightmares for about a week when I did this mission 4 years ago my fucking god I wish I knew these tips before I spent half a day on this mission
Using the two green shortcuts really makes this mission so much easier. Would have gotten it on my first try today if it wasn't for getting cocky and overshooting my speed on that little turn that can launch you.
I just finally finished the race in 1st after a 4 year hiatus. I was one of those who deleted the game after multiple attempts at trying to win the race, but after your tips, I finally won it. Thanx.
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
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! 😊
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.
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.
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
You've got to be a professor! Thanks for this and I just called Max (Verstappen). Didn't know this was só important for the rest of the game. Thanks man!
Got this game and wanted to take my time and play it on Classic mode only . Tried the race maybe 30 times and almost won just 1 time . Watched this video and got it within 3 tries!!! Salute to you sir 👌
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
I beat it on classic difficultly about 2 years ago now, which was brutal and took a few hours, but I came back to the game on normal mode and beat it 1st try. Even crashed a few times and still won lol. What a difference it is.
I was struggling to win this race until I found out about the ram button. That dropped the difficult ratio from about 99% for me. Also a very great tip I used is always stay in front of the cars as well, they don't speed up if you are blocking their front.
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 was in second place on my FIRST try ever… guy in first flipped his car on the S curve and blows up right in front of me thus stopping me dead… I had forgotten what true gamer rage feels like until that moment
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 😊👍
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!
I crashed out from the 1st place car on the final stretch. It hit my tires and glipped my car over....so damn close Edit: After an hour, I finally beat the race on classic.
Thank you man, grass and ram tips realy works. Spent half the night trying to win the race in an honest way, but nothing worked. Came 2nd, 3rd, 5th places. Watched your video this morning and managed to win on second try.
Me: Playing Professionally Forza Horizon Since 2019, Playing All Mafia Games In The Simulation Handling Cars And Lots Of Racing Game Experience In The Good Old PS2 But Struggling In This Race Because It Is Hard. Him: Noob.
I finally beat it. Got to the race the other night and was fully expecting a cinematic. NOT 100+ attempts at what is arguably the most difficult racing segment I’ve played in a game. This is one of those “git gud” moments where you simply can’t cheese the mechanics. I must say I wouldn’t have gotten it and probably deleted this great game had it not been for the video.
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 💪🏻🕹️
This still works Aug 2023 Used every step you mentioned I would say though Get a good start 5/4 place at the start as quick as can and just focus on the race - let the AI script do it’s things to even the odds out
"Well the game is set in the 30s so the car should handle like shit." Dev bob "But won't the player get frustrated and give up?"-dev Jeff "Gamers wont understand the vision."-dev Bob. So glad I got it on ps plus. There are no words, no matter how taboo, to communicate how much I hate this section.
It’s the 4th of June, 1:35pm and OMG I finally did it y’all!! 🎉🎉🎉 It was hard and for me this is the worst mission ever but after several days and lots of failures I finally won first place!!🥇 Thanks for this video your tipps helped me a lot and I wish had found this video earlier.👍🏼

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.
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! 😊

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.
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.
Ok this was actually really helpful, tried all your tips on the first try and won.
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
You've got to be a professor! Thanks for this and I just called Max (Verstappen). Didn't know this was só important for the rest of the game. Thanks man!
Got this game and wanted to take my time and play it on Classic mode only . Tried the race maybe 30 times and almost won just 1 time . Watched this video and got it within 3 tries!!! Salute to you sir 👌
I made it at the very first try after watching this. Cutting through the grass was the best tip.
Whoo!! I just got this damn trophy!!
Let's go!!!
I did everything you said! This video was Amazing!!!
just beat the mission in classic difficulty . So satisfying thanks for your hints
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 😁
Finished it on the 4th after watching this! I really appreciate the hints it really helped a lot!
I beat it on classic difficultly about 2 years ago now, which was brutal and took a few hours, but I came back to the game on normal mode and beat it 1st try. Even crashed a few times and still won lol. What a difference it is.
Beat it with this help, but still a pain. Beat it when it came out, beat it today. Never again
I was struggling to win this race until I found out about the ram button. That dropped the difficult ratio from about 99% for me.
Also a very great tip I used is always stay in front of the cars as well, they don't speed up if you are blocking their front.
I knew about the button, never thought of using it in this race. xD Beat it anyway tho.
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.
Bro what a great video. First try after it , i won. The ramming after corner really helps!!
Just get good. I did it second try in classic
on playstation? if so can you help me with it on shareplay please?
@@shaw7 I'm on pc sorry dude
@@CRoffey its alright thanks though
I was in second place on my FIRST try ever… guy in first flipped his car on the S curve and blows up right in front of me thus stopping me dead… I had forgotten what true gamer rage feels like until that moment
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 😊👍
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!
After 5 hrs of trying I was able to crack the race then it's easy
Well dango hell!!
I beat it! Came in first on my first try after watching this!!!
HELL YEAH BROTHER!!
🤗🤘🏻💪🏻
Thanx a mucho yo!
I crashed out from the 1st place car on the final stretch. It hit my tires and glipped my car over....so damn close
Edit: After an hour, I finally beat the race on classic.
The tips that worked for me was definitely driving on the grass and slowing down & tapping the brakes on turns
AFTER REPEATING 10 Times and losing my sanity, This actually works and is the most helpful!
bro i got it after the 28 try or something. I will hear the drivers call me a loser for days
@@gambler00077 idk but this version its WAY HARDER, mafia 1's race was better i've did 6 tries but its way harder in definitive edition
Snowflake universe cannot beat games...
Such a sad times we live in
I can't imagine them playing soulsborne games too
"ooh, why would the devs do this, the game is too hard, I want a refund" Its pathetic.
VERY HELPFUL To anyone struggling and ending up 14/16 watch this video i got it in 3 tries after watching
Thank you man, grass and ram tips realy works.
Spent half the night trying to win the race in an honest way, but nothing worked. Came 2nd, 3rd, 5th places.
Watched your video this morning and managed to win on second try.
Noobs😔
Me: Playing Professionally Forza Horizon Since 2019, Playing All Mafia Games In The Simulation Handling Cars And Lots Of Racing Game Experience In The Good Old PS2 But Struggling In This Race Because It Is Hard.
Him: Noob.
@@Hisan-SaNexus96 professionally forza horizon??
@@BIGJACK45 Ik Right, Forza Isn't A Extreme Game.
Just Saying I Don't Consider Myself A "Noob".
@@Hisan-SaNexus96 skill issue I also play a bunch of racing games and beat it first try
@@marhej3514 Oh Mah Gah.
I finally beat it. Got to the race the other night and was fully expecting a cinematic. NOT 100+ attempts at what is arguably the most difficult racing segment I’ve played in a game. This is one of those “git gud” moments where you simply can’t cheese the mechanics. I must say I wouldn’t have gotten it and probably deleted this great game had it not been for the video.
Thank you so much. I spent hours trying and then watched this video and done it on 3rd attempt. Very very very helpful 🙏🙏👍👍
Another real helpful hint I found to win this race is to go in the options menu and change transmission from manual to automatic.
i was going to sell the disc but thank u i feel like paulie 💀
Bro thank you so very much for the tips and for the amazing video I won immediately after I watched the video 😍
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 💪🏻🕹️
After 10 tries, I made it on the first try after watching this video. Thank you. Can't fathom how you could win without these tips.
The cutting grass and the ram are life savers ❤
So glad I'm not the only person that had trouble with this mission 😊
This still works Aug 2023
Used every step you mentioned I would say though
Get a good start
5/4 place at the start as quick as can and just focus on the race - let the AI script do it’s things to even the odds out
Bought the game
Came across this mission
Put the game down for a month
Watched this video
Mission complete 🎰🎰🎰
"Well the game is set in the 30s so the car should handle like shit." Dev bob
"But won't the player get frustrated and give up?"-dev Jeff
"Gamers wont understand the vision."-dev Bob.
So glad I got it on ps plus. There are no words, no matter how taboo, to communicate how much I hate this section.
Cracks me up knowing I wasn't the only one struggling... why make it so hard!!!
Won it on my first try with these tips!!
The best thing is to pump the brakes maintain some throttle and use the ram mechanic to save yourself and to take turns.
It’s the 4th of June, 1:35pm and OMG I finally did it y’all!! 🎉🎉🎉 It was hard and for me this is the worst mission ever but after several days and lots of failures I finally won first place!!🥇
Thanks for this video your tipps helped me a lot and I wish had found this video earlier.👍🏼
