Ace the Shift Work: Contact Hao 2 mission in Grand Theft Auto V! Get the best car, master Franklin's special, and learn how to snag all Gold Medals, including Fastest Lap and Clean Race.

Alright, so you've wrapped up 'Pulling Favors' and Franklin's ride is all souped up. Now, Hao wants to see you. Head down to the alleyway under the Strawberry Highway – you know, the one just below the freeway overpass. That's where you'll kick off 'Shift Work: Contact Hao 2'.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Once the intro scene wraps up, Hao will give you the lowdown. Your next move is simple: drive over to the starting point for the race. It's marked on your map, so just follow the GPS.
  2. 2
    Get ready to race! The goal here is to win. It sounds easy, but there are a few things to keep in mind, especially if you're aiming for that Gold Medal.
Tips for Gold Medal
  • Fastest Lap (01:20): This is where having a good car really pays off. If you modded Franklin's Buffalo or bought something with sharp handling, you're in luck. Forget those muscle cars parked nearby; they're way too slidey. Your best bet is to keep Franklin's special ability charged and unleash it on the long straights and tricky corners. It might take a few tries to nail the perfect lap, but once you learn the track, it's doable.
  • Underdog (Finish within 02:50): To hit this time, you'll need a clean race and consistently fast laps. Again, Franklin's special is your best friend here. Use it strategically to shave off seconds.
  • Clean Race (Less than 5 collisions): This is the real kicker. The other racers are aggressive and love to cut you off. If you get boxed in, don't force it – just let them pass and wait for an opening. Franklin's special can help you dodge trouble or make tight corners smoother. The final straight is your chance to gain ground; use your special to zoom past everyone, just watch out for oncoming traffic!

Completing the mission finishes the 'Shift Work: Contact Hao 2' mission. You'll also get the satisfaction of a job well done, and if you snagged the Gold Medal, bragging rights!
