| Las Venturas Races (Land) (000S0) |
O============================================================================O
The races are triggered by completing driving school, you'll get a phone call
about races and from that point there are checkered flag icons on the map.
This particular one is the one further South of the two in Las Venturas.

The vehicle you are given for this mission is a Banshee. This mission starts
you off in San Fierro and has you driving back to Las Venturas, so you'll have
a bit of city driving, and a lot of country/desert driving, though the race
goes along the land border so you'll actually be avoiding the desert for the
most part. Anyway it's just a straight course once it gets out there so
you've got one enemy, traffic. The Banshee, like the bullet, is just
painfully fast. It's not even a race, I'll tell you that now, you can
obliterate those other cars out there so under no circumstances should you
risk your own safety while still near the beginning in order to get ahead. On
the long stretch position yourself so that you're in the right lane for the
most part, and use the sides when necessary just... DON'T hit anything.

The vehicle you are given for this mission is an NRG 500. Back to the
motorcycle races once again this one is actually quite fun, there are a few
turns where you can just jump forward so much it's almost unfair. At about
three points during this course you will be coming up to a check point and
after that a V shaped turn, well you can simply drop over the edge and hit the
marker on the other side of the V while doing a 180 degree drift turn, it
works wonders especially at the turn near the end right before the final
crossing of the dam. Shouldn't take more than a couple of tries to win.

The vehicle you are given for this mission is an FCR 900. Take away the
shortcuts from the previous race and add little stupid corners that constantly
throw me from my bike and you have this race. While indeed more difficult
than the last it's not the difference between night and day, the main things
you need to watch out for are slowing down on some of the more sharp corners
(slowing down on a motorcycle?) yeah, also near the end of the race after you
cross the dam you don't actually continue on the road but rather down a little
dirt path on your left that leads to the finish line among the village.

\_/ (000S4) \------------------------------------------------------o
The vehicle you are given for this mission is a Turismo.This isn't even a
race, at least not to anyone who knows the location of the X button and is
capable of exerting any pressure at all with their thumb. No, instead what
this is, is an exercise in profanity control as you try to avoid screaming at
the digital car image that just cut in front of you for no reason at all. But
seriously, you could probably stop for a picnic half way through the raceand
still not be passed by any of the others cars, it's nothing but four big
straightaways and four big turns. If you've played Burnout 3 you know what
this is like, huge amounts of speed and weaving between traffic, you primary
goal is to survive to the end without being cut off so many times that your
car just gets to the point where it's ready to set fire and explode.
