The Driver

The Driver is one of the asset missions for The Malibu Club in which Tommy must race Hilary King and win. Although it seems very easy, one has to beat Hilary in his Sabre Turbo with a Sentinel.

This could be the most difficult and/or frustrating missions in Vice City. Hillary's car, at first blush, appears to be faster than your Sentinel; but in fact, he can only accelerate faster and corner slightly better than you. In a straight-a-way you will be able to pass him.

Two strategies for completing this missing:

1. When Hillary is turning or weaving, try to tip the rear end of his car and put him into a spin.

2. If you pass him and get far enough ahead of him, an oncoming police vehicle will ram him (due to the preprogrammed way the cop cars make u-turns to come after you).

Regardless, one has to run a nearly perfect race to win it. Beware if Hillary is right on your tail; he'll try to point-and-turn you.

Known bug: if you run this race with a six-star wanted level (which is fun to try), and Hillary is destroyed by a tank, the mission will not end. When you cross the finish line the game will tell you "Mission failed!" and "Hillary is dead!" Then the screen goes to black and never comes back.
