Found two pal covers.

That top cover is even worser than the American cover...

What countries had that cover anyway? Perhaps it was just the UK that had the cover with the white background. (The bottom one)

Yeah it is pretty bad. The top one is from an ebay auction. The guy is located in Australia.

Hi,

Many thanks to you all for your replies.
I am at the race now.
Ive been stuck at the race for ages.
I have tried the race so many times that now i mess about.

One of the race cars turned turtle, and couldn't go anywhere,
so i wondered what would happen to it after the race.

So instead of doing the race, i hung around and watched it.
After the race, its engine stopped. So i nudged and poked it.
After a little while, a man got out of it. So i tried to get in, but
no go. So i followed the man that got out, and tried to get
the keys off him. No go. So i pushed the race car back to the
garage/flat which took ages, and pushed it into the garage.

Yes it got fixed, and yes i had a race car to play with.
Dont bother they handle awful,
and i was hoping it would be 'invincible', no such luck, it burns
and crashes just like the others.

The best car i have found to try the race is the Mafia Sentinel.
Unless you know different ?

Can anyone give me any tips on how to win this race ?
feel a bit stuck till i get past this ...

John

Exactly which Island are you on? Are you doing the Turismo race for the Diablo's on the First Island or the Race for the Yardies (I think!) on the Second Island? Its been so long since I played this game, for the life of me I cant remember it properly... Anyways if you are on the Diablo's Turismo 'Mission' just use the Sports Car inside the Showroom of the Car Dealer near the Fire Station and next to 8 Balls pad.. Again I would tell you the name of the Car, but I cant remember it all... Cheetah?? I dont know...

If you mean the race on the Second Island, then just use any of the Sports Cars driving around.. Personally I would go with the Infernus...

Hi,

Sorry for the delay ... a few probs ...

Its the first island, the Diablo race,
still havent completed the race,
The car you refer to is a Banshee i think.

Still trying to do this race ...

then steal the banshee from the showroom by 8balls garage

btw, he is talking about the cheetah, and the infernus, both cars are in gta3

and both are better than banshee

John1 · #23 31-07-2003, 18:03

Hi Seven-O-Two,

I have been using the Banshee from the showroom,
several times, in all i think the police cars
take the most punishment, but the Mafia Sentinels
seem to drive better.
I have also used a race car, called i think a
'cheetah' but different looking, i don't think they're
much good, i think they are very twitchy on the
steering and they get knocked too easy all over the
place.

I don't remember an 'Infernus'

Maybe i should do another thread: Help me with the race!

I think its just practise, i shall keep trying.

Cheers, John

OK, just done playing this race a few times... Damn GTA3 still plays good

Anyways... The race is piss easy in the Banshee, heres a trick, dont go speeding off at the start, wait at the start line for 1 or 2 seconds and let the other racers smash each other up at the first corner... That way you dont end up taking damage.. This race is a waste of time in the Police Car and the Ambulance. Both have great speed but they handle like crap... You could try the race in the Mafia Sentinal or the Diablo's Stallion, they are pretty good in the race... The Infernus and the Cheetah are only available once you get to the 2nd Island..

John1 · #25 01-08-2003, 14:24

Hi BountyWarrior,

You find it easy?
Well i am still finding it too difficult.
I have tried letting them struggle around the first corner,
but it doesn't seem to help me none.
What seems to help a bit is coming up fast from behind and
crashing between two cars on the starting line, that seems
to scatter them a bit, and i can generally stay in the lead
to almost the third checkpoint, but they seem to spin me
off one way or another by then.

I have tried a Diablo Stallion, and a Mafia Sentinel, i also
took one of the race cars to the garage and re-constituted
it, but i don't like it.

I think i am just not very good at the race.
i will keep trying,

John

OK, when I was messing around on GTA 3 earlier, I was playing it after completing the game...Basically after completing the game you can mess around in the city and do some of the Missions over again, like this mission (The Diablos Turismo)... If I remember correctly (and this is going back almost 2 years now, to when I first completed the mission)... This mission is'nt part of the Main Missions of the game is it? I mean its one of the optionals isnt it? You can find out on gamefaqs if it is... Anyways if you are finding it difficult, just skip it and continue the Main Game

John1 · #27 01-08-2003, 18:10

Wha -at ?

Its not one of the main missions ?

I thought it was!!
Thats why i was so agitated to do it!

OK so i can move on without doing the race ?
Right, whats next ?

How can you tell which bits are necessary ??

John
