GTA3 ... help me get the noodle man

[John1]

Hi,

Many thanks to you all for your replies.
I am at the race now.
Ive been stuck at the race for ages.
I have tried the race so many times that now i mess about.

One of the race cars turned turtle, and couldn't go anywhere,
so i wondered what would happen to it after the race.

So instead of doing the race, i hung around and watched it.
After the race, its engine stopped. So i nudged and poked it.
After a little while, a man got out of it. So i tried to get in, but
no go. So i followed the man that got out, and tried to get
the keys off him. No go. So i pushed the race car back to the
garage/flat which took ages, and pushed it into the garage.

Yes it got fixed, and yes i had a race car to play with.
Dont bother they handle awful,
and i was hoping it would be 'invincible', no such luck, it burns
and crashes just like the others.

The best car i have found to try the race is the Mafia Sentinel.
Unless you know different ?

Can anyone give me any tips on how to win this race ?
feel a bit stuck till i get past this ...

John
