Walkthrough

    After clearing the mesa next to the oasis, go east to the edge of the map.

  6. 6
    Tag the checkpoint.
  7. 7
    Do a 180 and go back the way you came, watching out for police attempting head-on ramming.

    When you reach open air, go south then west around the side of the large mesa to the south, avoiding the northern canyon.

  10. 10
    Pick up the next item floating in the water.
  11. 11
    Turn west and enter the city with the crumbling wall through the east gate (a path next to the city wall can help you find it).

  18. 18
    You will eventually emerge next to the dried-up oasis.
  19. 19
    Go west to the highway and follow it to the hill with the windmills.
  20. 20
    Leave the highway, cross this hill, and go west through the oilfield to the finish at the airport.
Tips
  • The time limit is extremely tight; you may finish with only 0.4 seconds left.
  • The Border Patrol are better drivers than the CIA, so be cautious.
  • Be prepared for police to attempt head-on ramming.
  • The airport finish requires speed; you will likely be shouting "GOGOGOFASTER!!!"
