Street Circuit

Mission start places Lucia in or near Vice City. Before you touch the first objective marker, open the full map and note police stations, hospitals, garages, and any water routes - Street Circuit punishes players who improvise without geography.

Read every line of the phone, corkboard, or in-person brief. Rockstar-style Leonida missions often hide soft fail conditions in dialogue: do not kill a contact, do not leave the district, keep a vehicle intact, or protect a VIP. Escalate through illegal street races across Vice districts for pink slips and reputation.

Recommended opening routine: repair or replace your vehicle, buy armor and snacks if a shop is available, set a waypoint to the primary pin, and approach without sideswiping traffic. Early wanted stars almost never help a gold medal run.

Dense traffic, CCTV clusters, and multi-lane chases. Garages and underground lots are your best star-clear tools. Avoid beachfront promenades during wanted levels.

Quick reference walkthrough: Phone race app. Upgrade between cups. Championship includes a Grassrivers spur.

Rewards on completion: Sports cars · Racing jacket. Unlocks tied to this mission: Race icon permanent on map.

This mission follows a single primary path. How loud you play and which dialogue choices you pick can still alter later banter, relationship flags, and optional contacts.

Objective 1 of 4: Win Rookie cup.

This opens Street Circuit. Travel to the marker without farming wanted stars. Use the approach roads around Vice City that keep you off camera clusters and police stations. If a cutscene plays on arrival, your loadout and vehicle state carry through - arrive prepared.

Stay oriented on the mini-map. Side Jobs missions in Open World often spawn secondary markers (escape vehicles, allies, or optional loot) that are easy to miss under fire.

Objective 2 of 4: Win Night Neon cup.

Mid-mission objective in Vice City. Expect the resistance level to rise compared to the previous pin. Clear the immediate area, complete the interaction or combat beat, then reassess ammo and armor before moving on.

Gameplay tip: this is often where Street Circuit teaches or stresses a mechanic - hacking, trailing, intimidation, boat handling, or protagonist switching. Failures commonly restart at a mid-checkpoint rather than the mission start.

Objective 3 of 4: Win Port sprint.

Mid-mission objective in Vice City. Expect the resistance level to rise compared to the previous pin. Clear the immediate area, complete the interaction or combat beat, then reassess ammo and armor before moving on.

Complication tip: plans break here on purpose. Prioritize the objective over perfect cleanup. Civilians and side enemies only matter if a gold criterion calls them out.

Objective 4 of 4: Win Championship gauntlet.

This is the closing beat. Phone race app. Upgrade between cups. Championship includes a Grassrivers spur. Confirm gold-sensitive conditions before you trigger the end marker: vehicle health, VIP health, wanted level, and any cargo integrity. Once the final cutscene starts, you usually cannot reverse a failed criterion.

When the last combat or interaction objective clears, Street Circuit still requires a clean handoff. Lose heat with tunnels, public garages, mangrove blinds, district borders, or chop shops depending on where Vice City sits in Leonida.

Deliver cargo, intel, cash, or VIPs to the final marker with integrity intact. Damaged vehicles and bleeding allies can fail gold after an otherwise perfect shootout.

Do not skip the debrief cutscene on a first playthrough - Race icon permanent on map often appear as map icons or phone contacts immediately afterward. Save manually if you are about to chain heist prep.

Common fail states in Street Circuit include death of a required character, destruction of a mission-critical vehicle, abandoning the mission area for too long, or killing a contact the brief told you to keep alive.

Wanted-level soft fails appear on stealth-leaning medals even when the story continues. If you are hunting gold, treat stars as a fail and checkpoint-restart rather than fighting the whole district.

On dual-character missions, letting the idle partner die in the world while you play the other can still fail the mission - watch both health bars when the UI shows them.

Gold medal checklist for Street Circuit:

• 1. First in all cups
• 2. No restarts
• 3. Championship clean

Strategy: run a learning attempt to memorize routes, spawn points, and fail triggers. Then replay specifically for medals with cutscenes skipped and a pre-staged loadout.

If a criterion conflicts with another (speed vs stealth, for example), prioritize the harder one on a dedicated replay - many players unlock gold across two focused attempts rather than one perfect run.

After gold pops, you can freely replay for fun or collectibles without worrying about medal state.
