King Courtney’s challenge

King Courtney’s payphone is in Aspatria, near the stadium. He says his Yardie posse could use a driver with a reputation for hot moves. Get to the waste ground opposite the stadium in a car and wait for the other hopefuls. His men are watching checkpoints all over Staunton, and the first driver to each one gets a grand.

Bring a fast car

Take the fastest car you can find. A Cheetah or Banshee is ideal, and sports cars are common around Liberty Campus. Drive onto the waste ground and stop in the marker. The game tells you to prepare to race, and the other drivers line up.

The scramble

Only one checkpoint is active at a time, and it can be anywhere on Staunton Island. As soon as one is taken, the next appears on the radar. Head straight for it, using alleys and the grass in Belleville Park as shortcuts. Rival drivers take whatever route they like, so being first is about knowing the island more than raw speed.

If your car is wrecked, grab another and keep going, because the race continues. When the last checkpoint is taken, the game shows how many you won. Win more than any other driver to pass.
