As soon as the race begins, break into a run and make a bee-line straight to the finish. Don’t bother trying any doors or breaking the barrels as they’re both surefire ways to lose. Follow the route around the courtyard, doing your best to stay in front, and, as you reach the north-eastern corner on the topmost level, keep a watch for the catwalk at Point A. Dip down along it and you can cut a huge chunk out of the race, cheating your way to an easy victory.
