This race is quite difficult on classic. I am going to give some tips on how I beat the race in about 8-10 tries.
1. Do not EVER hard lock your breaks. These cars do not have ABS and it will skid forward and you will have no control. Practice slowing down safely without a full press of the left trigger. 3/4 is usually pretty quick anyway and no lockups.
2. Learn how to use the cars weight to your advantage. Use the weight of the car to help you to turn corners. Before turning left(for example) go a little wide and then quickly turn your vehicle to the left, it can help get through corners without slowing down too much. Helps with any driving scenario in game.
3. Do not gas out of a corner until your car is practically straight, if you gas early your car WILL spin out.
4. The best tip I have for you is keep restarting the race until you are set with AI where they are all bunched together at the start. If this occurs you can jump into top 5-8 before the first corner. It happens about every 2-3rd restart.
5. On the 3rd corner make sure you cut the grass, massive time saver. if your car feels like it's going to lose grip on grass, just let go of the gas for a second.
6. To get the best racing lines make sure you are going wide into the corner and exiting using the apex's. Watch how race car drives enter and exit corners.
Good luck!

No way to report a comment. Yes, it's a silly reason to down vote but don't let it bother you. Every solution is not going to help everyone.

The race is extremely difficult. The race cars don't handle well, are difficult to break and it's very easy to get spun out from other drivers or from hitting a wall. There is no definitive guide to getting this achievement, but here are some tips:
1. I believe the race scales with difficulty. I was trying to complete the race on Classic difficulty so that I could obtain the Made Man achievement. I, no joke, spent 3.5 hours trying the race and the best I could finish was 4th. I dropped the difficulty down to Medium difficulty and won the race on my first attempt. I didn't do anything differently in my racing style or tactics, so my only assumption is that the race difficulty does scale.
2. There are three different ways you can brake while driving:
is the normal brake, 
is the handbrake and 
will enable the Speed Limiter which automatically slows you down. Multiple other sources claim that using the speed limiter is the best way to have a controlled slow down, but I still found it to be very difficult. The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to try to avoid braking at all and instead focus on trying to let off the gas pedal while going around corners instead of using any of the three braking methods, except when you have to which brings us to...
3. The three most difficult parts of the race are: (a) turn 1 - the hairpin, (b) turn 5 - a sharp left turn after climbing uphill, and (c) the S curve following turn 5. For turn 1 and turn 5, I recommend doing a long break using before actually reaching the turns and going through them very slowly. The AI will also slow way down for both of these, so you don't have too much to worry about losing your place. For the S, if you hit the grass ramp on the right side of the curve you will go airborne and most likely crash. You need to ensure you cut right through the middle of the S - you can let your left wheels and then right wheels off road just a little bit, but not too much.
4. There are 3 crashes that the AI racers will suffer during the race: (a) in Lap 1, on turn 4, one car will crash into the wall, (b) in Lap 2, one car will hit the grass ramp in the S curve and go airborne and crash and (c) in Lap 3, depending on your position there may be a crash on turn 8 (the final large turn before the finish line). You can use these to your advantage, but also make sure if you are not in 1st place going into turn 8 on the 3rd lap that you go very high on the turn to avoid the crash.
5. Just try to tackle the race like you would any other race in any other game. Go into most turns wide and try to cut sharp against the actual curve. Use your car to block other cars from passing you. And don't get frustrated - I definitely did and it was getting to me.
6. If you have to restart the race, you can hit
and skip the cutscene to save yourself some time on each run.

Yeah, for some reason the supercharged achievement never popped up for me either.

You can also use the ram feature (clicking A on Xbox while aiming with left stick) in the game to make tighter turns or as last attempt to save yourself from a crash

A few pointers I found helpful during this race. I had to perfect it on classic over the course of about 200+ attempts.
First off I did this on Classic, Classic is a HUGE pain in the backside for car handling in general, and Hangar 13 have decided that 20's racers are horribly inaccurate in corners and have terrible brakes. Whilst the latter was true for some racers during the 20's, cars where actually quite reliable in handling, so not particularly accurate in practice. Although, it'd make less of a challenge.
1) Use corners (particularly the chicane and the last corner) to over take.
You can over take in any corner but after the first lap, these two are the best places to overtake cars.
2) Learn where cars crash, storywise.
What I mean by this is that at certain points, cars will always crash. On the first lap, you lose two. Litchenburg is your doing and the second crashes at the fourth corner.
Lap 2 and depending where you are, it'l either be 1st place that crashes at the chicane or fourth.
1st if you're running in second (which ideally you want to be at this point in the race) or third/fourth if outside the podium places.
Ocassionally the race leader may also crash at the last corner if you're still running second on the final lap.
3) Turn down controller sensitivity.
I was running at the natural sensitivity for most of my attmepts. I took it down to 3.9 and won on the first try. If you're struggling, try this, it does seem to boost handling of the car, as long as you've learnt the track by this point, you should be fine.
4) Don't get in a wheel to wheel fight.
If a driver tries to knock you off the racingline. Let him through, you can easily take him at the next corner 8 times out of 10. This avoids the annoying little man from spinning you out.
5) Use your speed limiter for certain corners.
This may not work for everyone, I used my speed limiter and brakes leading up to corner one and the corner before the chicane, tunning in to it and then turning it off. If you use this technique, remember not to be on full throtle when you turn it back on, otherwise you'll spin out.
6) Use ram to speed up in the straights.
in normal gameplay allows you to ram vehilces.
In this context it gives you a speed boost. Spam down the home straight for an speed boost over your enemies. DO NOT turn during this section if you use this technique though as you'll hit a wall and lose 4 or 5 places.
7) Learn the exit of the final corner and where the AI droves down the straight.
It's important to hit the final corners exit perfectly on the final lap, not doing so will cost you the win. Also, driving on the line most drivers use down the home straight will block them off, remember to use in this segment also.

This is story related and cannot be missed. This is unlocked during Chapter 5, ‘Fair Play’. It is a 3-lap race with 16 total competitors and you must place 1st to continue with the story.
If you have not done so already, if playing on any difficulty other than ‘Classic’, change ‘Driving Mode’ to ‘Regular’ in the ‘Options’ menu. On this setting, you will find that your race car is easier to handle and drive than if it was on ‘Simulation’. You may also want to change ‘Transmission’ to ‘Automatic’.
The controls are standard:.png.faa0a090f2044427a7554db27be5be6e.png ":1rt:")
accelerates, .png.87b50615156e2c16168a497f2e9ed8e7.png ":1lt:")
brakes, 
steers, 
rotates the camera and 
is the handbrake. Clicking lets you look behind your car and pressing 
changes the camera angle.
You begin the race in the 16th position. The first turn is probably the worst as it is basically a U-turn. You will see that the other drivers go around this turn very slow, so it is suggested you do the same. There is a mechanic where if you tap
, you are able to ram other cars. By doing this around turns, and when you are driving beside other cars, it’s possible that you can take other cars out of the race. But be warned, if you over-steer while tapping , you will most likely spin out, losing precious positions and time.
When you tap, you also gain a short speed boost that can be useful when you are trying to catch up to other drivers or to maintain your position. It is not recommended to do this while going around turns as you can spin out as mentioned above.
While the mini-map is useful, it’s hard to gauge how far opponents are behind you, so along straightaways, click to look behind you to see how close someone is. Depending on where they are, you can steer your car to potentially block them from overtaking you.
On Easy difficulty, the race really isn’t that bad, even if you are unfamiliar with racing games. Note that the race is much harder on ‘Classic’ difficulty due to it being mandatory that the ‘Driving Mode’ is set to ‘Simulation’. Refer to Made Man (80G) for more information.

Some tips for those who play "classical":
- pressing A ("ram") gives a small speed boost: it is extremely important to press 1-2 times on straight lines and when exiting turns - now this is the main guarantee of victory, because Tom's car is no longer the fastest (as it was in the original);
- a decisive advantage should be created before the opponent’s first scripted departure on a small banking (oval turn): if at that moment you are in 3-5 places, everything is fine, if not, feel free to restart;
- a combination of a turn with a “ram” will help to pass small banking more efficiently, but in other places it is fraught with: a high risk of a reversal;
- it is better to pass the “snake” closer to the left curb, with the gas released and without braking, but on the second lap it is advisable to play it safe and re-brake, because there is a high risk of colliding with an opponent (second script crash);
- there are no capital cuts - do not indulge yourself with illusions; if you push through an obstacle somewhere, you will be automatically returned to the track;
- collisions have a detrimental effect on the driving performance of the car, but not as much as in the original; However, braking against the walls is a bad idea, although in a couple of places it can create the appearance of an advantage.

Passed on: classic difficulty, driving simulator type. Video guide (ru).
The main thing is to go 3 on the first lap and hold this position, since on the second and third laps, according to the script, two riders in front of you will fly off the track.

When turning, it helped to briefly press the handbrake, so the car goes into an easy, controlled drift.

I've read a lot of nonsense here. All you need for successful completion is:
1) learn the route and learn how to pass it cleanly and without risky maneuvers. Everyone decides for themselves how to pass which section. Just ride a few times without trying to win;
2) after the first turn, which must be passed cleanly and it is desirable to win several places, the most important thing in this race begins - overtaking on the grass. There will be several areas where opponents can be bypassed as standing. This is especially important before the first scripted flight at a big turn;
3) having taken third place, you can relax, since on laps 2 and 3 the first and second places will be eliminated from the race, thus giving us first place;
4) on a long straight you need to drive looking backwards and changing lanes in front of the enemy pursuing you, so he will not be able to overtake.
It will take a maximum of an hour to do everything, it’s really not that difficult.
