The use of a fast vehicle is required for this mission. The Banshee is easily obtainable from the car showroom in Harwood, and is a good choice of vehicle for this mission.
Claude speaks to El Burro. His interest is in Claude himself, already building his reputation in a new town. He tells of a street race beginning near the Old School Hall. He wants Claude to prove his worth by winning it.
You will be racing three Diablos in Cheetahs, which are formidable sports cars. Fortunately, a good driver is able to pass them up in a good vehicle - the Banshee, the easiest obtainable sports car at this point in the game, is a good vehicle to challenge them with.
The circuit goes from the Hall to just outside Trenton; through Atlantic Quays and Callahan Point; onto Chinatown, Saint Marks and Harwood; back through Saint Marks and Chinatown; and then back to the starting line to finish up. Driving through the Point in the wrong direction presents the only challenge of the course itself.
With knowledge of the course, it is then down to the drivers. These guys drive like maniacs, and getting too close to them will most likely send you off course. They are likely to crash into each other on the first corner, and you can pass them up straight away. Otherwise, you have to beat them on the straits and corners, which isn't too difficult. Just keep your distance when doing so. Otherwise, avoid making basic mistakes and you should be fine.
Of course, any gamers that are accustomed to racing games can adapt those tactics into the mission at hand to make it easier. Otherwise, it all depends on how fast a time you clock.
