Markos Collection

In addition to the gymkhana, you also need to win this sprint race that takes you back to the Crescent Mountains. You must beat six other drivers in extremely fast cars. You don’t necessarily need a speedster for this race. Instead, you want something with power and the ability to take turns.

Objective: Race to the finish line and be the first across to win.

From the start, sprint as fast as you can down the mountain toward the first turns. Since you have a lot of speed, powerslide around the first to bleed off some speed, then take the next one the same way. Try to break away from the pack to avoid collisions on the turns.

When you reach this intersection, take a hard left turn and be ready for a quick turn to the right. The next few turns have stretches between them where you can build up speed.

Here you come across another series of turns, one right after another. Continue around the monuments and through two more turns. These last two can be tough since they’re close and go in the opposite directions. Be sure to take the first under control so you can also get through the second smoothly.

Now is the time to put the pedal to the metal and race up the hill. Put those horses under the hood to work and leave the competition behind. This is where building shows.

This turn can be tough as it comes at the end of a speed run. Slow down for the sharp turn to the right, then get ready for the hairpin turn to the left. As you exit, accelerate and then slow down as you go through the next three turns, coming out the last one with your pedal floored.

The next few turns can make or break you. The first two are not bad; however, the left then right combo at the end can result in crashes as drivers push to be the first across the finish line. Remember to tap the brakes as you enter them so you can get around the turns without driving into the guardrail. The finish is right after the last turn.

Tip

After those last two events, it’s time to get back to the garage. Nakai-San is there waiting to meet Amy and you. He’s impressed with your builds and wants to race with you.
