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.

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.
Hard agree. So many people here say "these people have never played a racing game lol" as if Mafia was Gran Turismo. If I want to play a racing game, I'd play a damn racing game
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
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.

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!
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'd like to offer a sincere, heartfelt, "Fuck You" to whoever decided that they needed a race sequence in a game that has nothing to do with racing. Then said, "To add to the stupidity, let's add a car with shitty physics... that should be super fun."
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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.
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
What annoys me about this level is its not even just a challenging one, its just badly made, the way your car just acts like its hit a brick wall when you fly into a piece of hay, the fact other cars won't move when you ram straight into them, I dont blame a single person for refunding the game after, but the video was very helpful.
Im Watching this Video again , cuz I’m playing Mafia De the first time in pc (I played through the game firstly on console) and well , what do I say , thanks for this quick tutorial that saved me from a mental breakdown, anyway , a happy new year man. Greetings from the don hehe.
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
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.
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
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.
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 😂😂😂
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.
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!
As I write this my hands are shaking and my heart is beating fast, it took me 8 months to pass the race despite being such a bad person in races, I followed your advice and passed after 3 races, so to cut a long story short... thank you
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, 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
@@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
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!
Thanks for this. I heard about this race being a pain, but I figured it wouldn't be a big problem for me as I love racing games. I guess I was wrong. This is a serious challenge. More than many actual race games offer. I can't believe they put such a high level challenge in crime game. No wonder people asked for a refund if even race game fans struggle. Who thought this was a good idea?
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 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 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 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.
Took me about 2 hours to win the race. Your video helped to not give up. But i have zero satisfaction. Developers should test their products before releasing.
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.
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! 😊
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

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.

What annoys me about this level is its not even just a challenging one, its just badly made, the way your car just acts like its hit a brick wall when you fly into a piece of hay, the fact other cars won't move when you ram straight into them, I dont blame a single person for refunding the game after, but the video was very helpful.
Im Watching this Video again , cuz I’m playing Mafia De the first time in pc (I played through the game firstly on console) and well , what do I say , thanks for this quick tutorial that saved me from a mental breakdown, anyway , a happy new year man. Greetings from the don hehe.
I couldn’t do it on classic until I watched this got it my first try thanks!
i need someone to do this
Was trying for like 6 hours, even quit for a few hours, first vid I found and omg it worked, thankyou so much
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
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.
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
With the lack of good games out ATM i decided to download this again. Wish me luck lol this race is brutal
Thank you, seriously this was getting incredibly frustrating but these tips helped a bunch.
Amazing mission design. Such an exhilarating race.
🎉 udało się!!! Film mi bardzo pomógł i przed wszystkim dodał wiary w siebie. Świetny montaż i dodatkowe sceny z starej Mafia 🏆

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.
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 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. 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.
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
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.
Thank you so much your tips helped - played for hours and then did it on the 2nd run after seeing your video. Cheers.
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!
As I write this my hands are shaking and my heart is beating fast, it took me 8 months to pass the race despite being such a bad person in races, I followed your advice and passed after 3 races, so to cut a long story short... thank you
8?! Fuck, I think I’ll just watch fucken playthroughs 🐒🐒
You're awesome dude. I got it on my 4th try following your advices after losing for like 30 times.
Thanks, you got a new subscriber for life.
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 ❤
I’m glad you won! Congrats! Now enjoy the awesome story 😊
Ok this was actually really helpful, tried all your tips on the first try and won.
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.
Thank you man I tryied finished this more than 2 years. First time finished in klassic. Thank you again!!!
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
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.
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.
This race is absolute proof that they made this game with the original fans in mind and I am all for it.
This video was from the heavens I can not thank you enough you are a gods send
Thanks that helped me a lot😊 took me 2 more tries after watching this video and i made it !😄
You are fkin legend man, got it first try after watching your video, thanks.
I was able to do it thanks to you but I really hate this game now😂
Great video. Won the race first try after watching this.❤❤
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
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!
Thanks for this. I heard about this race being a pain, but I figured it wouldn't be a big problem for me as I love racing games. I guess I was wrong. This is a serious challenge. More than many actual race games offer. I can't believe they put such a high level challenge in crime game. No wonder people asked for a refund if even race game fans struggle. Who thought this was a good idea?
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
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 👌
Beat it on attempt lucky number 13. Thanks for the tips.
charge turning has been by far the most game changing tactic which took me only one try to win the race thanks
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 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.
Is there anyway after the mission where I can kill all the other drivers?
Guaranted my ass, woth these tips I only got to 7th place. The cars are driving different then in these videos
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
Beat it with this help, but still a pain. Beat it when it came out, beat it today. Never again
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.
Took me about 2 hours to win the race. Your video helped to not give up. But i have zero satisfaction. Developers should test their products before releasing.
worst driving mechanics ive ever seen in a game
Thank you so much, this guide helped me win in less that 4 attempts. Solid work
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.
Lucky bastard!
I’m glad ur making a video about doing it on classic difficulty so when I lower the difficulty for the race it’ll be even easier to do
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! 😊
May god be in your aid with through your every hardship sir
