High Stakes, Low Rider is the first mission from Cesar Vialpando. It is a straight checkpoint race, but you can only enter in a lowrider.

Walkthrough

  1. Get a lowrider. The one Cesar gave you in Cesar Vialpando works, and IGN lists others including the Blade, Remington, Slamvan, Voodoo, Broadway, Savanna, Tahoma and Tornado.
  2. Drive to Cesar’s marker for a cutscene.
  3. Follow Cesar’s car to the start and drive into the red marker to begin the countdown.
  4. Race five other cars through the red checkpoints. Each checkpoint has an arrow pointing to the next one.
  5. The race ends at Santa Maria Beach. Win to finish.

Tips

  • If you have no lowrider, GameSpot says a Blade is usually parked a few doors from Cesar’s house. IGN also suggests looking around Grove Street.
  • Visit a mod garage first and fit nitro. IGN says it makes the race easy.
  • Use the nitro on the straights, and brake before corners rather than taking them flat out.
  • GameSpot notes that once the pier comes into view, you are on the home stretch.

Rewards and unlocks

IGN lists $1,000 for the win.
