LA Career: Hector
LA Career: Hector
Maria's big brother might not be too happy about you hustling her car from her, but you're about to do the same thing to him. His high-speed races can be a challenge, and his insults terribly annoying, but like always, plan your race before the event and you should dominate.
Race One
Already Hector's got you in trouble: The goal of this race is to outrun the cops and reach the checkpoint without any tail. Thankfully, this mission isn't too difficult.
Your first move should be to jump into the ditch, and then line up the straightest path possible for maximum speed. | Once you're speeding down the straight the cops will be lost in no time as you reach maximum speeds. After that it's coasting to the finish. |
Race Two
A free-for-all in the rain can be a bit intimidating...but follow the path in the map below and you should easily cross the finish line first.
Late in the race, when heading for the eastern-most checkpoints, look for this ramp to get you over the large ditch at max speed. | For the final stretch, hit the nitrous early to get the most out of it and just floor it to the finish. |
Race Three
Hector's third race is where the skill level gets bumped up a notch, with the introduction of a new racing technique, the slipstream turbo. Don't get caught up in trying the technique too much--you could end up doing yourself more harm than good.
Right off the bat, burn out and ride the ass of the guy in front of you to build up your slipstream turbo. Fire it off and continue straight for a couple of blocks. | When you reach this point cut across the grass, keeping as straight a line as possible to avoid spinning out. You can shave off some time and keep your high speed. |

This narrow path can really let you keep your speed up through an otherwise sharp turn--just be careful not to hug the right side too tightly, or you'll smash the wall. | When you're ready for the finish line look out for this little short-cut--barrel through the narrow passage and go over a series of ramps for a straight-shot to the finish. |
