I hate this mission, it is so long and tedious!
But luckily i have beaten it, so i never have to try it again.
Luckily again, i have PAL version so the wait before the mission starts is shorter.
So, here my little story about beating this mission:
After many tries and fails, i finally got good start at the mission and i thinked myself: Now i will beat this thing!
I passed the first car easily. Then the second and third car. đź‘Ť
At the second last car i was pretty nervous, but when i saw the 300SL, i were very nervous!
I just thinked at my mind: Don`t fail, don`t fail!
Then got to the last corner, it was a drag to the finish line againts the 300SL.
I won by measily 0.678
After i winned, i was like: I...beat...this...mission....WOOHOO!
I can`t remember what my total time was, it was long time ago when i beat that mission.
Advice: Practice, practice and practice...
