Races – no class limits - part 5  (37/73)

 

Tour of the Island

Level: Expert

Prize: 200000 dollars + bonus car (Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione)

 

 

As you’ve probably noticed by now, this is going to be one of the most difficult racing challenges of the game. The most important thing here is the length of this race. I’m sure that you already know by now that you’re going to have to circle almost the entire island. As a result, winning this race will take about 40 minutes of your time. Thankfully, you won’t have to worry about the other vehicles too much, however you won’t be allowed to make too many mistakes. It’s going to be very important to keep moving, even if this means slowing down from time to time. As for the car, I’d strongly recommend choosing something that’s more stable, especially at higher speeds (350+ km/h). Ferrari Enzo will be more than enough, especially since you won’t have any problems driving it at 380-390 km/h. I guess I don’t have to remind you to fully upgrade this car. This entire race will require you to stay focused. I’ve one displayed some of the most challenging corners, so you won’t have to find out about them on your own.

1/5 – 19.1km (#1) – I would recommend slowing down a little here, so you won’t hit any of the concrete walls. Thankfully, Ferrari Enzo is very stable at high speeds, so you won’t be sliding here. You will also have to deal with a tight left turn.

1/5 – 16.3km (#2) – This is where you’ll enter the freeway. You will have to be careful, because this is a quite narrow section of the map. Thankfully, there are no civilian vehicles present during this race. :-)

 

 

1/5 – 8.7km (#1) – This is a very difficult left turn and you probably won’t notice it at first glance. You will have to use the brakes earlier than usual. There’s also a second tight turn about two kilometres from here.

1/5 – 5.5km (#2) – You will have to deal with a group of more difficult turns. You should also watch out for a very fast left corner. I’m sure that you’ll remember it from one of the previous races. Just make sure that you don’t end up outside the asphalt road. You will also have to turn right very soon.

 

 

2/5 – 63.7km (#1) – There are a few hills in this area. As a result, you will have to be careful, so you won’t hit something afer one of the jumps.

2/5 – 53.3km (#2) – You’ll encounter more jump points here and it’s going to be more difficult to avoid them. Try to maintain a steady line, so you won’t slide off the main road.

 

 

2/5 – 44.6km (#1) – There’s a very difficult left turn here. Additionally, you may not notice it at first glance, so you should be looking at your minimap from time to time. You will have to hit the brakes very early. You will encounter a similiar corner very soon.

2/5 – 40.8km (#2) – There are some fast corners here. You will have to be careful in order to remain on the asphalt road. Also, watch out for darker spots, because you won’t see where you’re going.

 

 

2/5 – 34.8km (#1) – There’s a very difficult right turn here. If you keep on the inside you should be just fine. You will also have to slow down a little. Make sure that you don’t leave the road.

2/5 – 22km (#2) – There’s a tight left hairpin in this area. You will have to use the brakes and go through it without any major interruptions.

 

 

2/5 – 13.1km (#1) – There’s a new tight corner here. You must be very careful, because this road is very narrow and you shouldn’t hit any of the surrounding barriers, because that would have slown you down.

3/5 – 42.4km (#2) – Once again, you will have to use the brakes aggressively, so you won’t hit the left barrier. The corner itself isn’t that challenging, however you will have to stay on the main road.

 

 

3/5 – 35.1km (#1) – You will encounter a very sudden right turn here. I’d strongly recommend that you use the brakes much earlier, so you won’t be surprised by it. You will also encounter other similiar corners very soon, but I’m sure that you’ll deal with them swiftly.

3/5 – 16.7km (#2) – You will encounter a series of difficult jumps in this area. This road leads straight to the lighthouse, so I’m sure that you remember it from the previous races. You could try and remain at the maximum speed, however this would be quite dangerous.

 

 

3/5 – 8.5km (#1) – There are even more jumps here (#1) and some of them may prove to be quite challenging. Other than that, there’s nothing you should be worried about.

4/5 – 42.5km (#2) – You will have to deal with a very sudden right turn here, but I’m sure that you’re familiar with this corner. Make sure that you don’t hit the concrete wall!

 

 

4/5 – 14.8km (#1) – You will have to exit the freeway here. As a result, you must be very careful. The road will be very narrow here. Additionally, you won’t be allowed to leave the track, because there are a lot of obstacles (including trees) nearby.

4/5 – 13.7km (#2) – This time you will have to enter a new part of the freeway. Be careful, though. There are some signs here and you will have to avoid them. The easiest way to do this would be to turn right and cut through the grass.

 

 

4/5 – 1.6km (#1) – There’s a very challenging right hairpin in this area. It’s located near the finish line, so you will have to be careful in order to succeed in this event. Thankfully, you should have plenty of time left to reach your final destination.

There’s a special reward waiting for you at the finish. You will be given a new car – Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (#2). You can pick it up at Alfa Romeo car dealership at any time (without having to pay for it, of course).

comments and responses

LOL
one of the easiest race of entire game, I won it with an alfa 3.2 gt, then with a maserati spider, then with an aston martin, and so on with every car with a top speed higher than 270 km/h.
when I needed a walk I went for a Tour of the Island.
opponents never go too far even if they uses 100 km/h faster cars than your, at a certain point they slow down under 300 km/h according with the top speed of your car (but not excessively, you can't win with a slow G class), more than this they use brakes at every bend, also very mild bends, when you run full trottle with your D class car they slow down under 200 km/h, that's ilarious.
at these conditions, even if they lead the whole race, you can reach and overtake them often during the race, also during the lasts 5/10 km and win :-D

Piece of cake, I made it with MV Agusta F4 Tamburini and it was way too easy, altough I made always wheelies on the long straights which slowed speed to around 300km/h and still won with 7km distance to next car >.<

i used a corvette Z06 and won quite comfortably... when i got to the second last checkpoint, 2nd place was over 2 minutes behind so you might not need a ferrari enzo for this race.
it will help a lot, but a corvette Z06 will get the job done, unless your one of the worst drivers lol
plus my corvette was stock at the time.
if you cant afford either cars, then i strongly reccomend a MV Agusta F4 Tamburini... dream to handle and has got some speed.. will be easier to take the corners and overtake. :)
