Dirty Street Racing have been branded "dirty" because you can use dirty tricks to outfox your opponents. They will do the same to you!

I chose to implement street racing into City Small mode for obvious reasons. City Small is lighter, thus less demanding than other Freeride modes. This means it should perform faster and smoother for races. Especially since many new objects have been added to the city.

Alive mod street racing is different to Mafia`s original concept of racing. You won`t be racing around and around a race track. In the Alive mod you race around the city streets! Far more enjoyable, far more entertaining...

To enter City Small or return to City Day-time simply right click on the dark doors of the Lost Heaven Railroad Station in the Works Quarter.

In City Small you will see Don Salieri standing in front of the Railroad Station along with all the racing cars... prototypes and various sports and luxury vehicles.

The Rules:

1) Once you`re in City Small mode, watch your compass and follow its bearing to the blue crosses you see on the radar map to find your racing missions.

2) When a race is started you must drive your car along the tram tracks because tramways are now utilized as racing circuits. (the trams have been removed) You CANNOT cut corners! And here`s why?

a) A number of alleyways and lanes have been MINED and you will blow up if you try to take a sneaky shortcut.

b) Gangster-Referees have been placed along the tramways and they will be watching you closely. If you breach the rules they will penalize you on the other hand if you don`t "play dirty" (breach the rules) then you won`t win a race because your opponents WILL breach rules... don`t forget that it`s a very dirty street race.

c) If you cut TOO many corners then you won`t be considered the winner even if you`re the first to cross the finish line.

3) You can use dirty tricks against your competitors e.g. shooting them or their cars, dropping grenades in front of them while you`re driving (do this by pressing the `second` Fire button)

Note: You CANNOT drop grenades if your car is moving slower than 60 km/hour or if you have a weapon in your hands... Rest assured your opponents will play the same dirty tricks on you...

4) You are required to place bets on a race. The first race will cost you $50,000 the second race $100,000 and for the third race $150,000. If you win a race you double your bet in earnings. If you lose a race then you lose your money...

5) One body guard has been placed near the hospital. You can hire him to accompany you...

Note: There is one imperfection that could cause the game to crash. Sports cars were not developed for shooting while they are being driving... so if gangster drivers try to shoot from sports cars the game can crash. This is NOT a bug in the Alive mod. It`s another limitation of the original game engine, a negative aspect of sports cars. This restraint is also related to any car that has just one driver`s door. My only suggestion would be to NOT tease gangsters too much while they are driving sports cars, this will reduce the likelihood of them shooting at you.
