Hi, it’s definitely on classic mode, I have the achievement. I can appreciate the race can be difficult for some players hence the purpose of this guide. Which part are you losing time on the most? I’d recommend braking earlier and avoid going full throttle when coming out of the corners
I'm having trouble getting even to 5th place by the 2nd lap I'm always getting hit by cars and skidding into walls in classic mode someone please help lol I can't figure out how to beat this at all
When playing on console. Tap R2 through the corners. Helps keeping speed and not slip out. Also no one mentions this but in the 1st lap a racer crashes, 2nd one too and right before the end the front 2 usually crash into eachother as well. If not the first one crashes so make sure you're either 2nd or third by the half of the 3rd lap.. on classic
Absolute spot on lap and I 100% agree it was a lot harder as people said before. But as you said, if you play racing games and understand braking and acceleration like we do it’s not too difficult. Looking forward for your game review for it mate 👍
Thanks mate!! 🔥🔥 I think that’s a huge factor to being successful in the race. I hope i was able to assist the none experienced racers 👍🏻👍🏻 Cheers pal, working hard on it 😁😁
@@DrAce46 Yeah I’m sure they will. No one even put a video out explaining how to do it and what’s best for it so fair play mate. I’m looking forward to it and take it easy 👌
I just beat it on Classic and with keyboard after trying for two hours. I saw this video and, for me, as the video said, the key was the use of the brakes on the curves. I just pressed and released "s" button on the easy curves, and the speed limit button on the hard ones. Plus i used a lot the ram button on some curves to gain speed. Sorry for my english, I'm not native speaker haha
this car is fucking impossible to control. i fucking hate being forced to do stupid ass missions for no reason. shouldve never made the final cut of the game.
@@navhal5204 That's exacly what i think too. This fucking mission makes no sense logically. How the hell the mafiosos expect a CAB DRIVER who just got into the family, with zero racing experience to win against profissional pilots?
@@DrAce46 sometimes just not accelerating works some times braking works, at the start using opponents as brakes works but it's the last lap where I get cucked Highest I got was 2nd then I span into the water truck
@@atakansonmez4505 wtf are you yapping lol HAHAH, GTA 5 HAHAHA, that is fucking arcade as shit, even kids can win races there, it's not even comparable, I play Dirt Rally and Richard Burns Rally and races in Mafia are even harder lol, GTA is bullshit compared.
this might be a year or two late, but…my thoughts EXACTLY. Just earlier, I wanted to play some of this game after buying it in the trilogy bundle about almost a year ago and I already knew about this race level, but didn’t know if it was in 1 or 2. I S W E A R, the way the driving, especially in the race car, feels it’s like balancing three plates with sticks, trying to avoid being shot at unexpectedly, riding a unicycle, and crossing on a tightrope, all while getting to the end within a short time limit (I may have exaggerated a bit there, but I think you get the idea). I’m still stuck in this dumb af race (of ALL things, WHY a race?!) and I think I might go insane trying to beat it ffs…
@@theFedHD People played this game for the mafia stuff, not racing. People who play mafia 1 aren't simulator racing fans, but the devs are unfortunately.
@@DrAce46 ps4, was able to get it working and finally beat the race. in my winning run half the cars somehow crashed into the one you sabotage right at the beginning and i rammed 2 cars and they glitched out and literally flew away like birds. besides this one mission the game is a 10/10 for me i just don't understand why this one mission is so poorly developed. i can literally speedrun elden ring in the time it took me to do this one mission. i have a driving simulator setup with hundreds of hours in games like asseto corsa and beamng drive and this mission absolutely kicked my ass.
I absolutely smashed this game daily when it first came out on the pc over 20 years ago. But on the console it is just embarrassingly poor in all aspects. Controlling, handling, lagging, just everything seems off. I only play games on hard and with manual transmission and this race is literally impossible on these settings. I just turned it off in the end and deleted the game because it was just honestly ruining the whole nostalgia of a classic game. Some games should just be left on pc and never be remastered for console.
@@DrAce46 controller. I used to love this game but i just started playing it on Playstation for the nostalgia and it just doesn't feel right to me. I have had to restart from checkpoints on numerous missions due to the extreme lag that just randomly comes on when shooting or running etc. And the race mission was just impossible on hard with manual driving.
Mafia Definitive Edition video game really sucks. Classic difficulty mode complete mess. Got in third place. I wish you can come to Florida to help me win this race what a let down. Mafia 4 needs to be better this is horrible should be remove from the game.
No way is this classic!!
I’m on hard and 2nd from last pills away from me every time. Every car in counter I end up worse of

it's difficult for FPS players with no racing experience, and they are usually playing the game using mouse and keyboard, which only make it worse!
I’m glad I was using controller for the race 😂😂
Hey buddy, I just had a comment from you but it’s disappeared 🤷🏻♂️ any ideas?
It’s done it again.. are you posting a link? For some reason it blocks those comments 🙄
Space out the link if you are commenting a link 👍🏻
@@DrAce46 it wasn't a link, I'll just say the keywords, you'll figure it out. Ambassador program

I also haven't had any issues with that race. I guess it's just us racing game guys having more of a feel for smooth riding and "flowing" on track.
I’d agree with you there mate, experience paid off 😂
Same for me
lol wtf, I play Richard Burns Rally and Dirt Rally and this was way harder, racing game guys my ass

Had to get the humble brag in xD "I had no trouble with this, Did it my first go"
Haha sorry, it was meant as in a reassurance way 😂 as in its very doable
@@DrAce46 nah I'm just salting! I'm so upset man you have no idea 😂
Haha I’m sorry to hear that bud, did you manage it yet?
you looked up a guide just to comment that you did it on your first try. get a job bum
The amount of frustration I experienced is close to suicidal
Take your time with it, press the brakes and acceleratator gently and it won't be so hard to turn
I did it!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I won the race!! The key for me was L1, X & R2. Once you master the turns and cut through the grass; you've got it!!
@MariuszMaxWalonko07 great game!!
Just beat the race, classic difficulty no glitches!!! Tough as nails but got it after about 10 attempts
Anyone experiencing the bug where your front tires lock up to the point it stops you to a burnout
I just uninstalled this piece of crap. this mission is simply impossible on classic
i feel you bro im pulling my hair out cuz my car is piss slow and i just cant pick up enough speed at the start to catch up at all

im on keyboard
still havent done it yet
feels like i am on ice whilst the rest are in mud in the turns
Keyboard makes it very tough but I would suggest pressing and releasing the brakes to stop them from locking up and sliding
@@DrAce46 sometimes just not accelerating works some times braking works, at the start using opponents as brakes works but it's the last lap where I get cucked
Highest I got was 2nd then I span into the water truck
i can't get this been at it hours and hours 3 days now still can't get it
havent seen a game with worse driving mechanics, if you can call it that, gta 5 got better driving than this game
I'll be honest I hate GTA V's driving, GTA IV was the best one
@@DrAce46 i hate gta5s too but its still better than this games

its harder on shitty Keyboard as theres no way to 50% it
I do like Mafia, but not all of them! 😂
I never finished 3, I aim to go back to it but I never do 😂😂
@@DrAce46 2 I loved, 3 seemed too repetitive to me
Agreed! 2 was truly epic 🔥
I just give up
Keyboard classic difficulty.. done
That’s even more impressive 🔥
Ruined the whole game for me, controller simply won’t work for me on pc and I’m done trying with kbm not going to lower the difficulty either
What controller are you using?
@@DrAce46 ps4, was able to get it working and finally beat the race. in my winning run half the cars somehow crashed into the one you sabotage right at the beginning and i rammed 2 cars and they glitched out and literally flew away like birds. besides this one mission the game is a 10/10 for me i just don't understand why this one mission is so poorly developed. i can literally speedrun elden ring in the time it took me to do this one mission. i have a driving simulator setup with hundreds of hours in games like asseto corsa and beamng drive and this mission absolutely kicked my ass.
Glad you conquered it mate!
its so hard on KBmouse that im about to actualy quit lol
Yeah doing it on keyboard and mouse is extremely difficult. The controller makes it so much easier!
Yeah I’m trying to learn mouse and keyboard tried it like 5 times said nope pulled out the controller 🤣
I wish I was any good at simulator racing because this game is absolutely abysmal if you aren't all that good at them.

@@Red-Rambo I know the frame rate sucks on PS4, i think it’s a locked 30 😫 I had to buy it again on PC and play it there. I couldn’t stand 30fps
Easy peasy ✅✅
😎😎 you know it pal!

Are you on console or PC? If it’s on PC I could probably do it for you via remote play or something
@@DrAce46 I am on console ps4
Ah that’s a shame I don’t have a console anymore
This game needs to burn
