High Stakes, Low Rider — GTA San Andreas

Mission walkthrough

  1. Bring an eligible car

    Arrive at Cesar’s marker in a lowrider. The car from the earlier suspension challenge is a suitable choice if you kept it. Repair heavy damage before starting.

  2. Follow Cesar to the grid

    Stay behind his car until you reach the race start. This drive is only the approach, so there is no benefit in overtaking him or hitting the other competitors.

  3. Drive through every checkpoint

    Brake before sharp turns, straighten the car and accelerate on the exit. Let the checkpoint arrow indicate the next direction. Avoid clipping lamp posts or squeezing between rivals when a clean outside line is available.

  4. Finish in first place

    Maintain the lead through the final section instead of taking a risky shortcut. Every checkpoint must register; a missed one can cost the race even if you reach the finish area first.

Key point

Lower, responsive cars are easier to keep stable than a heavily bouncing ride. Leave the hydraulic tricks for the lowrider competition, not the race.
