Never could understand what’s so difficult in that mission. On the stock car you always catch Hillary at the same place, right after the Lance’s home if you don’t crash too much, which is easy in VC.
@@ophtalmology Same. I did it for like the 1st, maybe 2nd attempt. But remember that bombed limousine mission, that was way more harder but still until 4-5th attempt - when we were teens in 2003. :D When I completed VC at age of 23 in 2013: only the RC missions were hard. The hydroplane mission wasn't hard, just challenging.
I found this mission easy too. It's just one of those missions that some players have difficulty with. Like the Big Smoke train mission in GTA San Andreas
We win this race to make Hilary agree to be our driver with all his skills when our Sentinel is slower than his Sabre Turbo, but he quickly dies at the robbery mission like a moron. Plus cool driver Hilary won't even drive us to the bank.
Everyone hated the RC missions...this is the mission I hated the most. Not only the hardest mission. Also makes NO sense. "You want to hire me to be your driver for a job? Fine. But first you have to prove you can drive better than I do." Then why am I even hiring you?!
I never found this mission that hard. For me the trick was always to not make any mistakes for the first half, then you get a bit of distance between you and Hilary, keep going for it but you can relax a little
This was easy race. Never had trouble with it. Try to win a race from original Mafia 1 from 2002 (Fair Play mission), or Mafia Definitive Edition on hard difficulty. This is really challenging.
Absolutely true. The pc version of the original game had an option to chose difficulty but I still never managed to beat anything higher than easiest difficulty. In comparison this Vice City race is a walk in the park.
I always thought about trying this, but also thought that the time spent switching the car would lose me the race. In the end I did it "standard", mostly it's down to remembering where the pre-programmed "surprise" cops are (the player in this video does!)
A much easier trick is to use the flying car cheat. The opponents car will fly around and hit random stuff he'll loose control. You can slowly drive without letting yourself fly off and easily win.
I always found it amusing how Hillary turned out to be the most useless character in GTA. He's being called the best driver in town and he agrees to drive us only if we win the race in which he is handicapped by having Sabre Turbo while we gotta deal with a knock off 7 series (Sentinel) with police on our tail. All of that for what? To have Tommy being a driver anyways and him dying the second he exits the car by the bank. lol
@@wallaceling6140 just get a car outside of mission and practice as much as needed. Being able to drive good in one game usually helps with all other games where you can drive.
The amount of time you put in to find all the cars for Sunshine Autos could've been spent on trying the mission again and again. If that's a cheat you used then it's real bad. This is honestly one of the easiest missions in the game if you don't crash
