C.04: Blacklist Member 12: Isabel Diaz (Izzy)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Izzy is definitely a chick you don't want to mess with. She knows
everything there is about cars, on and off the road. She's got her ride
wired tight. She comes from a long line of race fanatics. Everybody she
runs with is either a cousin, friend or uncle. They all stick close so
don't get on her bad side."
Ride: Mazda RX-8
Targets:
- Race Wins: 4
- Milestones: 3
- Total Bounty: 180,000
Camden Beach is open to you now, so there's more city to explore and more
races from which to choose. You'll notice the races are becoming a bit
tougher. You will definitely need a new ride, preferably Vic's Supra or one
you've bought and upgraded yourself. You get your first drag race at this
stage. While you can complete the objectives without dragging, you might as
well get used to it, as you'll have to win some drags later in the game.
Izzy's RX-8 is a sweet ride, but not that big an improvement on Vic's
Supra, if you got it. If you manage to end up with both, sell one for the
cash to use upgrading the other. The next big jump in Blacklist cars won't
come until you face Baron; but, he's a couple rivals down the line.
Available Race Events:
- Circuit (Omega): 3,000 cash; 6.5 miles (2 laps);
Cop probability: maximum
Omega hits you with a hard right turn just off the line, then it's pretty
standard fare for the remainder of the course. After the second major turn,
there's a bit of a confusing area where the course passes through a large
intersection. The right-side wall is far off the course, so stay left to
avoid losing a second or two bumping through the medians.

Rival Challenge:
- Sprint (Chase & Bristol): 4,000 cash;
- Circuit (Diamond): 4,000 cash; 8.9 miles (2 laps)
Diamond has four shortcuts, and, while none are spectacular, consistent use
of them can shave 10 or more seconds per lap. Right out of the gate you
have two 180-degree turns in a reverse configuration. There's a shortcut at
the apex of the first 180 that cuts off the second 180 completely. You'll
see a narrow alley ahead of you as you come around the first 180, take it
to get a head start on the competition.
As you reach the southeastern portion of the course, there's an industrial
storage lot to your right that cuts off a turn. When you come around the
southwestern turn and start heading north, look for a 45-degree turn to
your right. There's a diamond-shaped split in the road, and taking the
right-hand path will save you a hard-left turn.
Finally, after the double switchback, there's a parking lot to the right
that will save a second or two by turning a hard right turn into a gradual
curve.
