Rat Race is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars given to protagonist Huang Lee by his uncle and Lee Family Triad boss Wu "Kenny" Lee from The Libertonian in Middle Park, Algonquin, Liberty City.
Description[]
Huang and his Uncle Kenny are about to reveal the Triad boss Hsin Jaoming, that the leader of the Ming Family, Zhou Ming, and Hsin's own son, Chan Jaoming, are the FIB rats inside the Triads.
The journey to Hsin's penthouse though is far from a joy ride. Hsin believes Huang and Kenny in fact are the rats and has put a hit on them. Kenny drives, while Huang protects them from Hsin's men with a Minigun
Walkthrough[]
To begin with, the mission is a rail shooter, with Kenny driving a Cavalcade FXT with the player standing in the back with a Minigun with unlimited ammo. The player just needs to kill all the attacking Triads while Kenny drives. He will take a shortcut through Middle Park, where the player has to destroy the cars blocking his path. Eventually Kenny will get to an alleyway, where the Cavalcade FXT crashes and Huang and Kenny bail. The player then has to drive a Bobcat. Drive fast, avoiding enemies and rockets from a helicopter (the crosshair indicates where the helicopter gunner will shoot. When the crosshair stops, this indicates where the gunner will shoot the rocket, so that is the time to avoid it). Finally reach Hsin's penthouse, where Huang and Kenny tell him of Zhou's and Chan's treachery. Hsin is devastated by their betrayal and decides to turn Kenny into the new head of the Triad and take a vacation on Macau.
Kenny's first decision as the new boss of the Triads is to get rid of Chan and Zhou.
Mission Objectives[]
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Protect Kenny as he drives to Hsin's residence
- Clear the vehicles that are blocking the way
- Drive Kenny to Hsin's residence
Mission Replay Description[]

His men chased us across the city, but we dodged them and managed to show Hsin the FIB report.
Uncle Kenny cleared our names and became the new Big Boss! My inheritance just went through the roof."
