Overview
This challenge can be started by entering the MG Technical with a "$" above it located in the parking lot in the southernmost corner of East Pyongyang, near the warehouse where 'Foothold' takes place.

Upon accepting the challenge, the player must drive through the initial checkpoint near-by to start the two minute timer. The player must then pass through each checkpoint before the timer expires. Driving through a checkpoint will display the current time taken.

Unlike the name of the challenge suggests, the race doesn't start from the Russian Mafia HQ. The drive itself is quite simple, until reaching Ichon, where the player needs to pass through a gate. Before completing the contract 'A Farewell to Kings' several Sungri Scouts and T-54 tanks patrol the road along the airfield, and the gate will open only to North Korean vehicles, making the race more difficult. Furthermore, there are some roadblocks on the dirt road past the gate, the nearby bridge is collapsed, and the only way to cross the ditch is using the dirt ramp to jump on the other side, where more roadblocks obstruct the way to the AN HQ. After completing 'A Farewell to Kings' and/or advancing to the Diamonds' chapter the T-54s will be gone, the gate will open to any vehicle, all the roadblocks will be removed and the bridge will be restored. For this reason, it is recommended doing this challenge during the Diamonds' chapter or later.

Upon reaching the AN HQ in time, the player will be rewarded with a sum of $5,000. The player can keep the MG Technical. The player's time will be added in the "challenges" page in their PDA under "status", and it will become the new time goal the next time the challenge is accepted.
