Overview
High Stakes, Low-Rider is a street race arranged by Cesar Vialpando. CJ brings a lowrider to El Corona and races four others through western Los Santos, from Commerce to a pier at Santa Maria Beach.
It is the first street race in the game and introduces the race checkpoint system that later powers the Race Tournaments. It also deepens CJ's friendship with Cesar, whose crew lives for lowriders. Only lowriders are allowed, so the player has to find one first, such as a Savanna, Blade, Voodoo, Tornado or Broadway.
Walkthrough
- Get a lowrider such as a Savanna, Blade, Voodoo or Tornado.
- Pick up Cesar in El Corona and follow him to the start.
- Race through the checkpoints, keeping to the racing line.
- Finish first at the pier in Santa Maria Beach.
Tips
- Upgrade with nitro at a mod shop beforehand if you can afford it.
- Avoid the opponents early on; a clean line is faster than trading paint.
- Lowriders are heavy and slow to turn, so brake earlier than you would in a sports car.
- Save at the Johnson House first so a failed attempt does not cost progress.
Rewards and unlocks
CJ wins $1,000, and Reuniting the Families moves closer to unlocking.
