🏆 Gold Medal Requirements
✓Not a Scratch - Deliver the repo car with minimal damage.
✓Focused Driver - Use Franklin’s special ability for 7 seconds.
✓Winner - Win the race against Lamar.
✓We Come in Peace - Avoid hitting any aliens in the movie studio.
Tips
  • To achieve 'Not a Scratch', focus on not hitting anything. Drive at a moderate pace, using Franklin’s special ability at tight turns and deactivating it afterward to conserve its use for short bursts.
  • The 'Focused Driver' requirement of 7 seconds of special ability use can be easily met by using it for most tight turns.
  • To win the race against Lamar, stay about one car length behind him. This allows you to see oncoming traffic and maintain a reasonable distance. Save some special ability for the final parking lot; activate it upon entering and weave ahead of Lamar.
  • For 'We Come in Peace', be attentive when driving through the movie studio to avoid hitting the actors in alien costumes. Alternatively, you can drive on the main road around the studio and rejoin Lamar on the other side.
  • Franklin’s special ability is very useful for difficult driving sections.
