Part 52

Listen to Frank explain the stakes of the race: winning is crucial to avoid losing respect and money.

Understand the race objective: complete five laps and finish in first place. Coming in second means losing all the money bet.

If you have version 1.1 or 1.2 of the game, you can select the difficulty (very easy, easy, normal, hard, or extreme) and choose whether damage is enabled for Tommy's race car.

Take control of Tommy's Brubaker 4WD, a car that excels in speed but struggles with turning traction.

Navigate the track carefully, avoiding slippery grass and dirt areas. Slow down before sharp turns, coasting or braking slightly. Tap the acceleration and turning keys for broader curves, and hold the acceleration key for wider turns and exiting corners.

Use the (radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked)) to anticipate the track's shape and adjust your speed accordingly.

If Tommy's car overturns and cannot right itself, use the Reset key (Num 0), but be aware that this takes time and can cause you to lose the lead.

For version 1.0, a shortcut is available: after the first (checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death)), turn left, follow the path, and after the checkpoint message, press Num 0 to restart from the beginning of the race. Repeat this process.

For any version, consider using the "Mafia Hack V1.03" (see Mods section). Pressing 0 allows Tommy to win regardless of his finishing position, and pressing 9 lets him win in one lap.

If Tommy wins, a cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) shows the race results, including lap times and finishing order. You can press F2 to hide the results and view the scenic background.

After the race, a cutscene shows Tommy on the winner's podium.

Attend a victory party at Salieri's Bar where Salieri congratulates Tommy and mentions Lucas Bertone has a reward for him.
