I Fought the Law… uses a staged street race to deliver two expensive cars into Michael and Trevor’s fake highway-patrol stop. Gold includes two specific traffic gaps during Franklin’s opening race, so watch the road ahead rather than concentrating only on the rival cars.
Step-by-step walkthrough
-
Challenge the drivers on the freeway
After the meeting, take Devin’s F620 to the gas station on the Senora Freeway. Start the race with the Cheetah and Entity XF. Keep close enough to maintain the pursuit and use Franklin’s driving ability during the race for Split Seconds.
Short uses of the ability are useful for lining up the required gaps. Leave yourself room to react when it ends instead of entering a corner faster than the car can handle normally.
-
Pass between the trucks and buses
Early in the race, two trucks travel beside one another. Drive through their gap for Tight Squeeze. Later, watch for the bus and Dashound alongside each other near the freeway turn and pass between them for Bus Passed.
These are specific encounters, not a requirement to squeeze between any two vehicles. Slow-motion steering helps, but striking a truck can spin the car and leave the rivals far ahead.
-
Follow Trevor during the police-bike pursuit
When the racers pass the waiting officers, control moves to the motorcycle pursuit. Follow Trevor’s line through the tunnel to satisfy Follow the Leader, then continue until the cars stop near Paleto Bay.
Stay on the pursuit route instead of trying to force an earlier stop by shooting the cars. Michael and Trevor need to take the marked vehicles intact enough to deliver.
-
Race the stolen cars back to Hayes Autos
After the stop, take the assigned car and follow the return route to the garage. Keep the pace up for the 12-minute total without turning the trip into a series of crashes. Deliver the vehicles and complete the conversation with Devin and Molly.
The payment is deferred as part of the story. The next target is Chad Mulligan’s Z-Type in Eye in the Sky.
Gold medal checklist
- Tight Squeeze: Race between the two side-by-side trucks in the opening race.
- Bus Passed: Race between the bus and Dashound during the opening route.
- Follow the Leader: Follow Trevor through the tunnel during the police-bike pursuit.
- Time: Complete within 12:00. Skip scenes and keep both journeys direct.
- Split Seconds: Use Franklin’s special ability during the race.
Common questions
Do I have to destroy the target cars?
No. The plan is to pull them over and steal them. Follow the chase until the scripted stop.
Why did passing other traffic not earn the gap medals?
The objectives refer to the specific paired trucks and buses encountered along the race route.
