*Compete in competitive or time trial races to earn cash and Respect.*— Racing introduction

## Details

In most vehicle races, any car can be used, but some use a specific car regardless of the car brought to the race. Competitors always drive similar cars, if a sports car is used, the other drivers also use sports cars. It is not possible to use a car in a bike race, or vice-versa.

Weapons are disabled for the duration of each race, but ramming and PIT maneuvers are still allowed. It is also impossible to jump out of the vehicle, although it is still possible to fall off the bike.

### Locations

There are 8 races in each Gang's turf, with a total of 24 Races.

There are three types of races: Checkpoint, Lap, and Point to Point.

* Checkpoint races have three opponents, and they must pass between all the flaming barrels in order.
* Lap races have checkpoints, but the track repeats several times, usually 3, though there is at least one has only 2 laps.
* Point to Point races differ in that there are seven racers instead of four, and after the start there is only a single point which may be reached by taking any route.

After starting a Racing activity, the type of race is indicated in the top-left corner of the screen with a request to drive across the starting line of the race in order to begin. After driving across the starting line, the opponent vehicles are loaded and a countdown begins to start the race. Walking across the starting line does nothing.

After clearing all the races for a given area, the level select refers to the last two Checkpoint races as "Marathon" and "Ultimate" even though they are still just Checkpoint races, and they are still identified as "Checkpoint" in the top-left corner of the screen.

## Newscasts

**Jack Armstrong**: "*I'm Jack Armstrong in the newsroom with this special report: In the '50s it was called "racing for pinks", and was seen as a rite of passage for the youth of America. But today, in Stilwater, far from seeing pink, local police and medical personnel are too often seeing red. High speed drag racing, circuits that wind through the roughest parts of town, and in almost every case, destruction, maiming, and death follow in these street racers' asphalt wakes. Innocent bystanders are not only suffering from fear and sleeplessness, they too can become victims, joining the drivers for trips to the emergency room. So far, authorities have not been able to bring this raging case of the speedies under control. For now, these criminals are moving too fast, leaving those authorities too furious. For updates, tune to us for the latest details and information. For Jane Valderamma, Flying Officer Mike McCabe, and all of us in the newsroom, I'm Jack Armstrong.*"

**Jack Armstrong**: "*I'm Jack Armstrong in the newsroom with this special report: On When Modding Turns Deadly. Several young people were injured and two people lost their lives recently, as Stilwater witnessed yet another example of taking stock automobiles, modifying them to illegal specifications, racing in them, and dying in them. Illegal street racing has become an epidemic, especially in areas already overrun with gang activity. Residents are advised to steer clear of these loud, boisterous, and deadly parts of Stilwater. For updates, tune to us for the latest details and information. For Jane Valderamma, Flying Officer Mike McCabe, and all of us in the newsroom, I'm Jack Armstrong.*"

**Jack Armstrong**: "*I'm Jack Armstrong in the newsroom with this special report: hospital emergency rooms have become a little more swollen recently after admitting a few more unlucky participants in the hoodlum game known as street racing. These surface-street daredevils not only put themselves at risk, but endanger the lives of nearby citizens. The thrill of 90+ mile an hour speed is something this reporter remembers from his youth, but that was on the controlled environment of Germany's Autobahn. Here in Stilwater, however, the same cannot be said. Narrow lanes snaking through the city barely lend themselves to everyday stop-and-go traffic, let alone the treacherous nightmare of today's steel and chrome chariots. And as was seen last night... speed... kills. For updates, tune to us for the latest details and information. For Jane Valderamma, Flying Officer Mike McCabe, and all of us in the newsroom, I'm Jack Armstrong.*"
