(Original Cut) (Xbox) Let's Play Midnight Club II Part 13
0RACER SPOTLIGHT
Name: Farid al-Makira
Ride: Stadt (2001 Renault Clio V6)
Hometown: Algiers, Algeria
Gang Name: Rashiqa al-Riyah
Known Associates: CLASSIFIED
Bio: Coming from a long line of wealthy Algerian financiers, Farid’s future as the head of his family’s bank practically guaranteed him a safe and prosperous future. Unfortunately, due to his compulsively thievish nature, he squandered that opportunity after embezzling massive sums of danarir during his post as a lowly bank clerk. When a senior official was about to expose his scheme to his family, Farid fled the country to the Moroccan coast. Once there, he met an eccentric gang of bandits-cum-street racers, the Rashiqa al-Riyah. Smuggling illicit valuables as quickly as possible from the port of Tangiers to mainland Europe, he quickly saw the arrangement as another opportunity to satisfy his greed. Now in Paris to oversee his biggest haul yet, the threat of being busted by the police is the last thought on Farid’s mind, even as his family’s bank careened into financial ruin.
Name: Owen Knight
Ride: Victory (2003 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish)
Hometown: London, England, United Kingdom
Gang Name: Interpol
Known Associates: CLASSIFIED
Bio: Graying yet failing to make the leap from a modest inspector to a venerated international agent, Owen found his big break when he was assigned to the case of the al-Makira family. Enraptured by the story of how an ordinary twentysomething managed to bankrupt his family’s financial institution, he quickly found Farid to be the investigation careers were born from. Slowly tracking Farid’s footsteps across Northern Africa and Western Europe, Owen pinpointed his location after one of his Rashiqa al-Riyah colleagues squealed on him. With the city of Paris in his sights and one of Interpol’s finest cars in his possession, he grew increasingly confident that he could stop Farid’s dastardly schemes. Even if anyone gets in his way, nothing will stop Owen from upholding the peace… and getting that promotion.

Description: Unbelievable handling. Grabs the road consistently.
My Take: Although it is far less flashy than the Fripon X, the Stadt’s unassuming veneer hides a swift engine and ingeniously manageable handling. It’s truly the quintessential European hot hatchback.
