Street Racing

Run illegal late-night races through Vice City's signature streets — Bayshore Avenue, the causeways, downtown canyons — with real cops, real stakes, and real wrecks.

Street racing in Vice City is the state's unofficial second economy. Late-night meets gather on industrial blocks in Stockyard, convoy through the Escobar Strip, and unleash themselves down Bayshore Avenue where the palm trees blur and the cops try their best and usually fail. The racing system includes circuit races, point-to-point runs, and 'chase the pack' events where the objective is to survive police interference all the way to the finish. Your car matters, your build matters, and your nerve matters more than either. Pink slip races are the most dangerous: win and you drive off in a stranger's Cheetah; lose and you're walking home. The infamy system tracks your rep across the scene, and earning certain ranks unlocks invitational events with much bigger purses and much scarier competition.
