But he is a really crappy driver, so the mission's not really very hard at all. I think a lack of patience is more to blame.
Kids these days .... *mumbles on*
No, the only easy way to beat this guy is by playing dirty. As soon as you start the race, fishtail him and spin his motor, that way he wont get as good a start, therefore giving you the lead. Since you're in front, it is now easy to block him off by looking at him with the rear view camera, and if he starts edging past again, try to knck him off course with simple nudges, trying to put him into a wall or lampost normally works pretty well also.
Oh, and don't put on any 'lose cops' cheats on in this mission because the cops can actually provide you with a lot of help here.
Hope that helps.
