Mission walkthrough

Prepare before answering the phone
El Burro calls from Hepburn Heights after Van Heist. Bring a quick, undamaged car to the phone so you can drive straight to the starting grid. A car you can keep on the road is more useful than the highest top speed with handling you have not learned.
-
Line up at the start
Follow the marker to the grid and position the car as instructed. Keep the nose aligned for the opening stretch. Let the countdown finish before committing to the first turn; colliding with several rivals together can leave you facing backwards before the race has properly begun.
-
Prioritise clean checkpoints
Drive through each checkpoint in order and watch for the next direction immediately. Brake before sharp corners instead of sliding across the marker and needing to reverse. If the rivals collide with traffic, use the clear lane rather than following them into the same obstruction.
-
Keep a healthy car to the finish
Avoid unnecessary ramming and concentrate on completing the route in first place. A missed marker must still be collected, so correct it immediately. This race can be replayed later, but your first win is the step that opens the next El Burro job.
Key point
Portland is easier to drive around before later story events make more gangs hostile. Complete this chain early if you want a less troublesome race route.
