When using the "change to a faster vehicle" method, IMO it's better to park it near or on the clothing icon at Raphael's instead so you don't even have to police to deal with I prefer a PCJ600 to make weaving thru traffic easier. Hillary will be slowing down there to take the corner anyway...so catching up to him after the swap is no problem at all. Be sure to go on foot toward the camera to start the mission to minimise the risk of vehicle deletion...and you can park as far away as you want.

I recently re-played Vice City in its entirety for the third time.

The easy way to beat "The Driver" is to use the slo-motion cheat. I tried this for the first time and beat Hilary with time to spare. Using the slo-mo cheat just enabled me to react in time to the turns and avoid any collisions with oncoming traffic or obstacles.

This mission is a pain, the worst in the game, and it took me more than 100 attempts to beat it the first time I played it. To beat it without using the cheat, you have to spin Hilary into the high-rise car park, follow him in, bottle him up with your vehicle, exit it and pop all his tyres with the M16. After that, even if he does get out of the car park before you and get a head start, it's easy to overtake him and finish far ahead.

This mission nearly made me cry. I completed it by quickly spawning a Hotring Racer at the start of the race, though, I know.. naughty.. using cheats.

I tried all sorts of stuff, though, like spawning loads of tanks and placing them near the end of the race only to find they'd disappear (memory dumped) letting Hilary get through. Apparently, in the PC version at least, you can code Hilary's car to go the speed of a coach, so you can easily beat him, although I never did that.

This mission stalled out the game for me. Best I could do was swapping to the comet. Was ahead of Hillary, approaching the end when some dufus swings his car in front of me and I'm upside down and on fire. In the end, I fired up handling.cfg and put a little grease on Hillary's wheels (a little more sporting than dropping his max speed to 5mph). I'll go back and complete the mission when wasting a day doesn't feel like wasting a day.

The Driver has got to be the hardest mission to complete in GTA Vice City. It took me at least 100 tries before I completed it without resorting to cheats. For people who are not afraid to cheat, here is how to complete The Driver:

After the three second countdown begins, get out of the Sentinel and spawn a Sabre Turbo or Hotring Racer. Use your new spawned vehicle to complete the race. Mission Passed.

Yeah, evil mission isn't it?
What worked for me was ramming him before passing the Vice police station, if you can get him stuck it can win you 5-10 seconds of lead, which really makes a difference.

You dont need to change car you can win the race too with the sentinel i did it like that i didn´t change any car i just drive and i had to try only 2 time

I have to say, I was dreading this mission when I was replaying the game last month and ended up beating it on my first try. I do not know how I did either, but I did.
